peterfoster+FollowGermany’s Big Bet on South Africa’s SunshineSouth Africa just scored a €500 million loan from Germany to help swap out coal for solar and wind power. This means more clean energy (and maybe fewer power cuts) could be on the way. The catch? German companies are lining up to cash in on building all those new solar panels. So, while South Africans might get greener, more reliable power, expect to see a lot more ‘Made in Germany’ stickers on the new tech. #Business #Industry #EnergyTransition20Share
Jennifer Reyes+FollowDid Spain’s Blackout Just Make Nukes Cool Again?Spain’s massive blackout has everyone talking about whether we’re moving too fast with wind and solar. The country’s plan to ditch nuclear power is under fire, especially since renewables can be a bit moody (think: no sun, no juice). After the lights went out, Google searches for “nuclear” spiked. But, for now, the government’s sticking to its green guns, saying nukes wouldn’t have saved the day. Energy drama, anyone? #SpainBlackout #RenewableEnergy #NuclearDebate #EnergyTransition #LifeHacks #Business00Share
