Looking Beyond Green Energy
November 13, 2019
Green energy technologies—wind turbines, solar panels, electric vehicles, among others—are growing faster than predicted, but that won’t cut greenhouse gas emissions enough to mitigate global warning, says a new report from the International Energy Agency. Addressing this gap, an energy analyst wrote in the latest Issues, will require researchers and policy-makers to focus on sources of difficult-to-eliminate emissions, particularly in the areas of reliably generated and distributed electricity; air travel, shipping, and long-haul trucking; and industrial processes.
