The implosion of the coal-fired Cane Run Generating Station came as the generating capacity of the renewable energy sector surpassed coal across the country.
Power outages can occur for a variety of reasons, including weather or motor vehicle accidents—or for planned equipment upgrades and line maintenance. Learn ...
The ETES thermal battery can offer coal plants a new life as heat and power storage hubs. The first customer for a full-size version could be on-board as early as next year.
New analysis shows that four out of five U.S. coal plants cost more to run than new local renewables.
Several financing options could ease the replacement of uneconomic coal plants with renewables and storage, with some of the savings used to help coal workers transition to new jobs, says a report from climate advocates.
While thermal coal prices continue to be driven by Asian power demand, any investment would be a real grudge investment – as the economics won’t be good.
We need genuinely dispatchable power stations to complement the growing capacity of wind and solar PV. Coal and other baseload power stations cannot fill that role.
Commercial nuclear reactors currently provide around one-fifth of electricity in the US.
Clean Energy Future is part way through constructing the Lordstown Energy Center
A new initiative has been launched that will use satellite imaging to measure carbon emissions from large power plants all over the world.
Workshop presented by Enbala Power Networks on what it takes to build virtual power plants using energy storage.
Where you live in America determines how your electricity is generated. If you’re considering buying or leasing a new electric vehicle to help reduce climate changing emissions, where you live has a huge impact on your carbon footprint. Read this before you flip the switch.
Construction sector firms are helping corporations and utilities navigate low-cost clean-energy sources and distributed generation in a changing electricity marketplace.
Remote communities could benefit from incentives to help electric co-ops replace coal plants.
Several nuclear power plants have closed during the past decade yet the nation recently hit a new record for production of electricity generated by nuclear power.
We still have time to avert the worst impacts of climate change, but heatwaves are now an inevitable part of Australia’s future
Even though we know things like coal and natural gas cause pollution, even though we understand the risks associated with nuclear power, we are still getting the majority of our energy from these sources. Folks are finally starting to invest in clean energy such as hydroelectric, solar, and wind, and some people are starting to harness geothermal energy as well.
Changing to renewables will be hard but not impossible, if our last great energy transition is any guide.
We need more Kemper power plants. Just not quite like Kemper.
PJM has linked grid resilience with market changes that would benefit coal and nuclear power. Critics say it’s the wrong approach.
Coal is becoming a less popular source of electricity because in most locations, it costs consumers more than alternatives like natural gas, wind energy and solar power. And that's not counting its health and environmental effects.
