Clean energy has come of age and may actually be less expensive. “Green or clean power is cheaper than fossil fuels and has been for a while,” Bhatraju said. “Lower monthly costs and cleaner energy should go hand in hand.” Are clean energy really clean? Most take about two years t...
Fossil generation still provides the majority of the world's total electricity generation each year. Data in these figures is drawn from several public data sets on worldwide electricity generation.

In most of the U.S. today, it's cheaper to build a new solar or wind farm than to simply keep an existing coal plant running. Most of those cost decreases have happened just in the last 10 years, to the surprise of some energy analysts. Part of this is technological improvement—sola...
The UK's current energy system wastes renewable energy and leads to high consumer bills. Reforming the energy market with regional pricing and flexible energy usage can lower costs and incentivize green investment. The UK has the opportunity to lead a global transition to a greener, chea...

The higher the percentage, the more you'll pay, which doesn't make much sense because renewable energy is cheaper than non-renewable energy sources. Signing up for a green power plan doesn't necessarily support clean energy development near you because the energy generation can be thousands ...
tariffs now offer some level of renewable energy, so as well as saving money you can be sure you’re doing your bit to save the planet too. Under our uniqueGreen Accreditation schemewe’ve categorised tariffs into Bronze, Silver and Gold levels depending on how renewable their energy is. ...

The push forsustainabilityis evident in areas such as energy generation as well, where the focus has been on finding new deposits to outpace the drawdown on existing reserves. Some electricity companies, for example, now publicly state goals for energy generation from sustainable sources such as wi...
