A detailed Australian survey reveals organised anti-wind and solar campaigns have successfully eroded community support, while enthusiasm for electric vehicles surged following Donald Trump's attack on Iran. Despite this, home batteries and rooftop solar maintain high 'deep support'
The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant's 5th unit, a joint India-Russia project, has installed its reactor pressure vessel, a crucial step towards operationality by year-end, contributing to India's clean energy goals and a total site capacity of 6,000 MW.
BNEF'in raporuna göre, küresel batarya depolama kapasitesi 2050'ye kadar 17 kat artacak. Güneş enerjisi 2032'de lider kaynak olacakken, yapay zeka veri merkezleri talebi artıracak ve petrol talebi 2029'da zirve yapacak.
Operation Epic Fury has failed to achieve Trump’s war aims but is accelerating a global shift away from fossil fuels. The US-Iran standoff over Hormuz has triggered emergency measures in nearly 40 countries, from Laos shortening school weeks to Nepal limiting cooking gas. However, the crisis is hastening clean energy adoption: EV demand in Europe surged 51% year-over-year, while countries like South Korea, Vietnam, and India are accelerating renewable energy plans. The article draws parallels to post-1970s oil shocks that drove fuel efficiency standards, suggesting current dynamics may force governments to build solar, wind, and nuclear capacity as a long-term energy security strategy.
The European Commission announced plans to cut electricity taxes and provide incentives for consumers to switch from fuel-burning cars and boilers, as the Iran war-driven energy crisis accelerates the shift to a clean economy. The May legal proposal would tax electricity less than oil and gas, reduce network charges, and allow states to shield consumers from high prices. However, the commission rejected windfall taxes on oil and gas companies and gas price caps, drawing criticism from green groups who called the measures "half measures."
