In a study, researchers argue that fossil fuel systems might be far more fragile than current energy models assume.

Tools for forecasting and modeling technological improvements and the impacts of policy decisions can result in more effective and impactful decision-making.

Recycling alone is insufficient; technical, economic, and regulatory barriers hinder large-scale reuse.

New research can identify opportunities to drive down the cost of renewable energy systems, batteries, and many other technologies.

This approach leverages local ecological knowledge.

'Yes, in my back yard'—most people who live near large-scale solar projects are happy to have more built nearby

The stigma that solar panels are visually unappealing and will lower the value of nearby land has been around in some form or ...

Solar panels create microclimates

15 counties in Arkansas will a have utility-scale solar power project by 2026

The study found that the large-scale expansion of rooftop solar capacity can lead to increases in the collective profitability of fossil fuel plants.

Measurements of solar photovoltaic production data were collected every 15 minutes since August 2021, as part of the study.

This holds true even if zero-emission energy systems power the technology deployed to extract carbon dioxide, the researchers say.
