Solar Panel Waste is Tiny—Coal & Gas Emit Hundreds Of Times Mass Per MWh
Every few months, another wave of media reports predictably warns about the supposed “looming crisis” of solar panel waste. Given the urgency of climate action, it’s frustrating to see the conversation repeatedly derailed by these exaggerated concerns. I’ve previously examined this narrative around wind energy, demonstrating clearly in my CleanTechnica … [continued]

A Change in Power, Part 5: Wind, solar, and batteries alone won’t get Michigan to net-zero carbon emissions
Michigan has far to go to meet net zero carbon emissions, but progress is being made. Researchers say we need to look farther ahead and prepare now for the technical challenges that must be overcome.
Jane Austen, Directional Drilling & Dublin: Geothermal Lessons With Simon Todd
Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Simon Todd, PhD, geologist, expert in geothermal, founder of Causeway Energies, and Irishman, not necessarily in that order, to talk all aspects of geothermal. Despite being often far underground, it’s having a moment in the sun right now, hence a recent … [continued]

Green Oxamide vs Green Ammonia: The Chemistry Behind a Smarter Fertilizer
China’s latest move in green fertilizer chemistry hasn’t made headlines, but it represents a quietly significant development. A new facility in Xinjiang will soon be producing half a million tonnes of oxamide fertilizer per year—using captured CO₂, green hydrogen, and green ammonia. That sentence alone folds in three separate decarbonization … [continued]
