The road to solar power is paved with good intentions – renewable, self-reliant, carbon neutral, off-the-grid, free from contractual relationships with power companies. But in New Zealand the rationale isn’t yet compelling –...
Dutch greenhouse gas emissions rose by 5 percent in 2015 from a year earlier, Statistics Netherlands said on Monday, again highlighting the difficulty the country will have meeting its Kyoto Protocol commitments by 2020.
Britain does not need the Hinkley Point C nuclear project and could use a mixture of alternative resources to guarantee its future energy needs at a lower cost, an energy and climate think tank says.

Experts say Southland's approach to dealing with air quality issues could be a model for the rest of New Zealand, as well as save lives and move the region towards a lower-carbon future.
Is the global effort to combat climate change, painstakingly agreed to in Paris seven months ago, already going off the rails? …The United States, and indeed the world, would do well to reconsider the promise and the limitations...
