April 14, 2025 Erin Baker, _UMass Amherst_ and Paola Pimentel Furlanetto, _UMass Amherst_ To really compare different electricity sources, you also have to look at the roles they play in
keeping the lights on and their drawbacks. March 18, 2025 Kevin A. Young, _UMass Amherst_ Pushback works. February 27, 2025 David King, _University of Cambridge_ and Imraan Valodia,
_University of the Witwatersrand_ Reducing emissions, removing greenhouse gases, repairing ecosystems and building resilience are the four R’s that can save the planet. February 25, 2025
Becky Shaw, _Birmingham City University_ Technological solutions and environmental incentives rarely recognise that the way we heat our homes is often a way of life. January 13, 2025 Tim
O'Brien, _Harvard Kennedy School_ and Tim Freeman, _Harvard Kennedy School_ Many small towns rely on one major industry and can face long-term existential shocks if that industry fails.
Biden’s attempt to reposition rural economies for the future missed a crucial factor. December 13, 2024 Thomas Longden, _Western Sydney University_ A successful transition to clean energy
is vital to Australia’s prosperity. But the Coalition’s latest nuclear salvo leaves many unanswered questions. November 19, 2024 Andrew Weaver, _University of Victoria_ Net zero is not as
simple as planting a tree. The first step is understanding that tackling climate change, and reaching true net zero, requires returning carbon to the ground. November 12, 2024 Bruce Huber,
_University of Notre Dame_ Countries have promised to reduce their fossil fuel subsidies to fight climate change, but that’s harder to do than it sounds, as an energy law expert explains.
October 23, 2024 Rod Crompton, _University of the Witwatersrand_ and Bruce Douglas Young, _University of the Witwatersrand_ Sasol’s Secunda facility is the largest greenhouse gas emitter in
the world. New research looks at what’s needed to move the petrochemical manufacturer away from coal. October 20, 2024 John Quiggin, _The University of Queensland_ As Australia’s domestic
reliance on coal falls, our exports are bigger than ever – and new coal approvals suggest this won’t change soon. September 24, 2024 Alison Reeve, _Grattan Institute_ It seems increasingly
clear the Coalition’s nuclear policy would prolong Australia’s reliance on fossil fuels, at a time when the world is rapidly moving to far cleaner sources of power. September 9, 2024 Valerie
Thomas, _Georgia Institute of Technology_ Trump aggressively supported fossil fuels. The Biden-Harris administration focused on replacing them with clean energy. Yet, data show the US oil
and gas industries still thrived under both. September 5, 2024 Noah Kaufman, _Columbia University_ Slowing climate change means cutting fossil fuel use. Many oil- and gas-producing
communities aren’t prepared for that future, as a former White House economic and climate adviser explains. August 27, 2024 Rod Crompton, _University of the Witwatersrand_ South Africa’s new
electricity law is good news for electricity market reform. But big hurdles still need to be overcome before success is achieved. August 6, 2024 Lay Monica, _Center of Economic and Law
Studies (CELIOS)_ and Panji Kusumo, _Center of Economic and Law Studies (CELIOS)_ ASEAN’s tech-focused plan extends coal plant lifespans, delaying cleaner energy adoption and increasing
environmental risks. April 9, 2024 Harro van Asselt, _University of Cambridge_; Lauri Peterson, _University of Eastern Finland_, and Panagiotis Fragkos, _National Technical University of
Athens_ While some countries are more likely than others to sign an international agreement to phase out fossil fuels, measures to tackle fossil fuel demand by adding a higher carbon price
are essential. April 4, 2024 Matthew Carl Ives, _University of Oxford_; Belinda Wade, _The University of Queensland_, and Saphira Rekker, _The University of Queensland_ Cement and fossil
fuel production has reached unprecedented levels, with most of the emission growth traceable to a relatively small number of companies. March 25, 2024 Vigya Sharma, _The University of
Queensland_ and Julia Loginova, _The University of Queensland_ The closure of Australia’s coal-fired power stations will be challenging. The car industry experience provides lessons on how
to protect workers and families. March 19, 2024 Tony Wood, _Grattan Institute_ In states with competition between retailers, the energy regulator is promising savings for most customers on
the default plan. But it’s small change compared to price hikes. Here’s what to expect. March 10, 2024 Fayola Helen Jacobs, _University of Minnesota_; Candis Callison, _University of British
Columbia_, and Elizabeth Marino, _Oregon State University_ Climate change is often seen as solely a technical problem. This is a misguided belief. Understanding how to build a better world
begins, and ends, with understanding the societies which inhabit it.
