For years, grid parity – the time when solar and wind would be cost-competitive with fossil fuels and nuclear – was the holy grail of renewables energy, a target to reach in a distant future. But the future is now.
Renewables currently generate very little of Puerto Rico’s electricity but hopefully this could change after Hurricane Maria.
Climate change can be fixed by switching from cars to bikes, planting trees in our cities, tapping into energy efficiency’s potential and ditching coal and natural gas for solar and wind. Learn out more in this article.
I came across several articles on my home country lately and thought it was the occasion to keep everyone updated on how the French energy transition is going on.
