The 13 MW turbines by GE are the pinnacle of wind engineering might. Back on shore, hackers took down the Colonel Pipeline one of the largest fossil fuel pipelines feeding the eastern US. Meanwhile the IEA (International Energy Agency) estimates that humanity needs to scale the solar industry to 630 GW per year by 2030 in order to stop climate chaos and achieve net zero energy. “This special report is the world’s first comprehensive study of how to transition to a net zero energy system by 2050 while ensuring stable and affordable energy supplies, providing universal energy access, and enabling robust economic growth.” This and much much more renewable energy news. Please subscribe on your favorite player.
