About 160 kilometers northwest of Beijing, the city of Zhangjiakou with its rugged terrain boasts some of the richest wind and solar resources in China. Renewables account for nearly half of the city’s electricity output with less than a third of its full solar and wind potential of 70 gigawatts installed so far.

These aren’t the things that are providing the global population with its main source of calories. As we transition away from fossil fuels in favor of solar and wind energy and electric vehicles, there will be big changes in ozone pollution. These are the sweet things in life—fruits, nuts and grapes for wine. Resources.

Low-level stratiform clouds—which play an important climatic role because of their net cooling effect on the global climate—appear to dissipate as the ocean warms, thereby enhancing the warming (i.e., a positive feedback), according to a new study of the NE Pacific by researchers from the University of Miami and UC San Diego.

DECEMBER 30, 2023

The current state of EV charging infrastructure varies globally, with some areas densely populated with charging stations, while others are just beginning to build out their networks. For instance, AI can schedule charging when there is a surplus of solar or wind energy available, leading to a more sustainable energy consumption pattern.
