India just cancelled 14 huge coal-fired power stations as solar energy prices hit record low

'India’s solar tariffs have literally been free falling in recent months'

“India has cancelled plans to build nearly 14 gigawatts of coal-fired power stations – about the same as the total amount in the UK – with the price for solar electricity “free falling” to levels once considered impossible.”  

Blake Zimmerman of Houston talks about how oil companies are using artificial intelligence to help them succeed.

The environmental impact of most consumer electronics and electricals is highest when they are manufactured and distributed – before they are even used.

Many of us have become accustomed to hoarding or discarding old electrical products instead of repairing them, creating a mountain of electronic waste that’s growing by the day.

Every time we extend a gadget’s lifetime, we space out and slow the impacts of manufacture. The fewer new items we buy, the more we limit greenhouse gas emissions, save water and avoid using minerals that are hard to mine and harder to recycle.

The Reparaturbonus scheme in Austria can be used to cover costs of repairs of electrical devices up to a total of €200 refunded. This will cover large household items like fridges, washing machines, tumble dryers, and coffee machines but also things like computers, mobile phones, electronic toys and garden tools.

This is part of Austria’s so-called ‘eco-social’ tax reform, and the scheme is set to be in place across Austria until at least 2026.
