Despite all the investments and installations in renewable energy, the actual global emissions of greenhouse gases continue to increase. This is largely due to economic growth: while the supply of renewable energy has increased in recent years, global energy consumption has increased further, the difference being provided by fossil fuels. The more the global economy …
Renewable energies are exploding. Countries around the world are adding clean energy generation capacity at a breakneck pace in a race against time to boost energy security and combat climate change. While environmentalists and economists have been warning for decades that the future of the energy industry – and, indeed, the global economy – lies …
