Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Climate change: Wind and solar reach milestone as demand surges
Whichever the major driver, economy or environment, might be, the world has become more conscious of green energies. Despite the coal resurgence due to the increased price of oil and gas to meet the rising demand, wind and solar energies generated about one-tenth of the world’s electricity in 2021. Since the Paris climate agreement was signed in 2015, the share of those clean energies has doubled. For example, Denmark generated over half of its electricity from wind and solar. Another example is Vietnam, which pushed solar generation by paying fees to those who generate electricity. Now Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has made oil and gas even more expensive, more effort is being made to generate electricity by green energies. The question is if nuclear power should be considered clean or not. One thing is for sure. It is catastrophically dangerous.
Enjoy reading the article about the rise in wind and solar energy.
