Rapid wind and solar cost declines keep pushing fossil fuels out. How far can they go?

February 1, 2018 by Silvio Marcacci 4 Comments

French people support energy transition (more than nuclear power)

France is at a crossroads, writes Jules Hebert, program coordinator at the Heinrich Böll Foundation office in Paris. It can pursue a renewed nuclear model – or follow the German example and invest massively in renewable energy. It is often said that the French people support the nuclear path, notes Hebert – but a recent survey comes to a different conclusion.

UK government overlooked lower costs of renewables in Hinkley nuclear deal

UK government overlooked lower costs of renewables in Hinkley nuclear deal

Two of the UK’s main public bodies overseeing public spending have now criticised the government’s deal with EDF to support a new nuclear power plant, showing how Britain  (and the United States today?) failed to heed the falling cost of renewables, writes energy finance consultant Gerard Wynn. According to Wynn, the findings should be a warning for other countries planning to build new nuclear power plants. They also raise the question why the … [Read more...]
