 EDITORIAL
Tracking Down The Phenomenon: Why So Many Republican States In The U.S. Rely On Wind Energy
Detail_awea_20161107Donald Trump has long been one of the most prominent doubters on climate change. In the course of his tenure, he has repeatedly attracted attention with dubious decisions in this regard, including the US renunciation of the Paris Climate Treaty. Even with completely new tones from him in recent weeks, his Republican party continues to focus on conservative values. But looking at the spread of renewable energy in the US, it is striking that some of the leading states are Republican. How can this fit?

Wyoming in the northwest of the U.S. is considered to be one of the most conservative federal states. Since 1964, there hasn't been a democratic presidential candidate. ...

Germany Under Pressure: When Will the Coal Phase-Out Finally Start?
Detail_climate_analytics_20181024While the Coal Commission in Germany is still struggling to find the right moment to phase out coal, researchers are creating facts: Only if Germany phases out coal by 2030, the country will still be able to achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Protection Agreement of keeping global warming at a maximum of 1.5 degrees Celsius.

The fact that Germany is sloppily tackling climate protection is no longer a secret: in recent years, the former energy transition pioneer has had more and more problems fulfilling its obligations with ...

No More Love For Canada: Ørsted Wants to Concentrate on the U.S. Offshore Development
Detail_orsted_20180417Danish offshore developer Ørsted has abandoned a partnership with Canadian developer NaiKun Wind Energy. This means that the first offshore wind farm in Canada will probably be still a few years away.

This obviously has consequences for the neighbours in Canada, where a partnership with the developer NaiKun Wind Energy ...
