Minnesota is off track to meet its goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that are responsible for climate change, after the end of the pandemic saw a sharp rise in pollution from cars, trucks and other transportation.

Springfield lawmakers will hash out a plan to move solar and wind projects forward after sluggish growth for clean power in Illinois and a recent rise in coal and natural gas demand.

South Africa’s Juwi Renewable Energies has announced plans to build three large-scale solar plants with a combined capacity of 340 MW that will serve major players in South Africa’s mining, data centre and energy sectors.

Most major economies are investing in ever-cheaper solar and wind power. The United States risks further ceding a global market to China.

The area is known as the Land of Fires ('Terra dei Fuochi'), due to the dumping and burning of rubbish and toxic waste which has taken place there for decades. Authorities say the Italian mafia gangs known as the Camorra are behind the burning and dumping as they control waste disposal in the area.

Trump's turn away from green energy will help China dominate the renewable market - and may provide opportunities to other Asian and European countries.

Back in 2023, The LEGO Group renewed its commitment to sustainability with a science-backed plan to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within production. This year, the company plans to expand its investment in renewable energy, building towards its 2050 net zero goal.
