Most experts agree that the key to avoiding worsening effects from a changing climate is to cut greenhouse gas emissions to zero, and through a strategy called “prevention,” humans can significantly cut emissions.
Explore how scientists approach the challenge, and discover the technologies that will help get us there.

This Off Grid Micro Hydro Power System may be the Dream System. It literally produces too much power. Although, if you like hot running water that’s not a bad thing.
Check out how this Off Grid Homestead deals with the excess energy from their micro hydro power system.

Student Energy is currently developing the Global Youth Energy Outlook, a global youth-led report that will engage 50,000 young people around the world in 2021 to gather their perspectives on energy. Want to take part? If you’re between 18-30, head to www.bit.ly/gyeo to complete the survey! You can win 0 cash prizes in each region, or a fully funded trip to the next International Student Energy Summit!
Student Energy is a global youth-led organization empowering the next generation of leaders who are accelerating the transition to a sustainable, equitable energy future. We work with a network of 50,000 young people from over 120 countries to build the knowledge, skills, and networks they need to take action on energy. Learn more at www.studentenergy.org
Hydropower is the world’s largest source of renewable energy, yet we don’t hear much about it. That’s in part because hydropower generation in the U.S. has remained relatively steady for decades. But internationally, it’s been growing rapidly, especially in China. That growth has some environmentalists concerned, as dams and reservoirs disrupt the surrounding ecosystems and can create C02 and methane emissions. Plus, hydropower generation is threatened as climate-driven droughts become increasingly common. Yet many experts say that hydropower is absolutely vital for a fossil fuel-free world and so learning how to mitigate these challenges will be critical in the decades to come.

In order to guarantee France’s electricity supply, become more competitive and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, Emannuel Macron has just put France back in the race for nuclear development. The French nation, the country that is most dependent on nuclear energy, will build new reactors in the coming years. And that’s not all, it is also fighting hard for the European Union to consider nuclear as a green and sustainable energy.
In this video we tell you all the details about France’s recent bid to return to the atomic age. Video Rating: / 5
In this video Paul Andersen explains how nuclear energy is released during fission of radioactive uranium. Light water reactors, nuclear waste, and nuclear accidents are also discussed along with the future of nuclear energy.

Learn the positives and negatives of nuclear power.
In the ’70s people started getting excited about nuclear energy because it has the technology required to be used on a large scale.
In fact, nuclear energy accounts for roughly 21% of the electricity produced in the US.
Compare this to all of the other renewables like solar and wind which combined only produce 12%
But, nuclear power has a dark side

Nuclear power is getting more support on the EU-level as the Czech Republic assumes the EU Council Presidency. Leaders there say pushing up support for atomic energy is a priority. While countries like Germany, Denmark and Austria are saying goodbye to it, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland (and also France) are focusing on expanding their nuclear energy.
