An eclectic mix of energy and climate news from around the world compiled by Roger Andrews.
In this week’s feature article a major corporation that has proudly gone “100% renewable” – Google – admits that its power really doesn’t come from renewables at all. We follow up with the usual dose of OPEC; a giant oil discovery in Bahrain; Finland approves Nordstream 2; the Bonneville Dam under fire; Belgium to ditch nuclear; the IEA driving the world towards climate disaster; China’s globally interconnected clean energy grid; towns to regulate cryptocurrency mining; Lancashire ready for fracking; Sizewell’s uncertain future; melting ice in Antarctica and how Scotland the Brave can save the world from climate change.
