Australia to offer three hours free solar per day to millions:

Great demand response initiative! And not only from an efficiency perspective, but also for sharing the benefits of solar with those who don’t have panels, including renters.

L'altra cara de la moneda és que gràcies a les renovables, la propietat de la producció d'energia està més repartida, reduint així la gran concentració del sector!

Even if China's emissions fall in 2025 as expected, it is bound to miss multiple important climate targets this year, such as a reduction in carbon intensity and curbing coal use.
