Just 3% of UK land could be enough to generate 225,000 GWh of electricity from #windenergy and #solarenergy sources - enough to power all households in England 2.5 times over. Shall we get cracking then? The 'viable land' as part of University of Exeter's Environmental Intelligence Centre & Friends of the Earth research stays clear of national parks, AONBs, higher-grade agricultural land, small developments and heritage sites. https://lnkd.in/epqQKsRU #netzero #energyefficiency #climatechange #climateaction #decarbonisation #onshorewind #renewables

The growth of solar power is a highlight in the UK's green energy transition, although it could be moving faster. What holds up growth? In the latest One Water Blog Newsletter, we dig into a few reasons while also spotlighting one of our customers Project Centre Ltd, who used InfoDrainage with some strict environmental requirements to design a drainage system for a solar panel with a waterway running alongside it. They had been using Microdrainage for a very long-time, but they upgraded to InfoDrainage right before this project. How did things go with the new software? We found out: https://bit.ly/4cmsvk0

Michigan’s ambitious clean energy laws face a peninsula-sized hurdle This coverage is made possible through a partnership with Grist and Interlochen Public Radio in Northern Michigan. Last year, Michigan became one of the latest states to adopt a clean energy standard, passing sweeping legislation that calls for utilities there to use 100 percent clean electricity by 2040 and sets targets for renewable energy development, among other requirements. “So when we are talking about achieving the goals set by the Legislature, it probably will require rethinking the grid in the U.P., updating the grid in the U.P., making sure that it can accommodate local solutions and distributed solutions.” Michigan has become a leader among the states working toward an all-clean energy standard, said Douglas Jester, a managing partner at the policy consulting firm 5 Lakes Energy who helped develop the state’s laws. And while the clean energy standard still allows utilities to sell some amount of fossil fuel power back to the grid, it might not make financial sense come 2040, Jester said, as nearby states increasingly turn to renewables. #agri #agriculture #farm #agribusiness #agriculture #farmmachinery #tractor #moderagriculture #sustainableagriculture #sustainablefarming #farming #localagriculture Source: https://lnkd.in/dkkxZ8N3

Did you know that our Company designed the largest #solar farm in Canada? Watch my colleague Anna Kozicky as she explains the historic #RenewableEnergy project and how it can offset more than 600,000 tons of greenhouse gas #emissions each year. https://lnkd.in/eaMNV8ii #StantecEnergy #EnergyTransition

" 'There is a reason we have eminent domain for some purposes, such as building pipelines and streets. Now, we have an abuse of eminent domain, and also an overriding of zoning—the problem is when you use it for something that relies on hype, without a proven and compelling public interest,' like fast-tracking solar and wind projects that often harm the environment while providing unreliable, intermittent power, [Edward Ring, a senior fellow for the California Policy Institute] added." #energy #energyindustry #energypolicy #landuse #zoning #easement #eminentdomain #renewables #renewableenergy #renewablepower #solarpower #solarenergy #windpower #windenergy #agriculture #environmentallaw #environmentalregulations https://lnkd.in/gH-XauHY
