Solar geoengineering could be a “painkiller” for the planet—not a substitute for curbing emissions, but a balm that makes life on Earth more bearable in a sweltering future. Critics say that pursuing the technology is a dangerous distraction from the more essential task of rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Not everyone agrees.

How Will EV Charging Powered by Renewable Energy Create a Greener World

Driivz

Renewable energy was the main source of energy before the discovery of oil, coal, and natural gas. The tectonic-plate-related power is generated most in Iceland, El Salvador, New Zealand, Kenya, and the Philippines. It comes from natural sources that continuously regenerate, such as sunlight, wind, water (in motion), and geothermal.
