Emissions, Transmission, and the Environmental Value of Renewable Energy
A recent study shows that high energy demand can cause congestion which limits the environmental benefit of the wind energy.
Benefits of Renewable Energy Vary From Place to Place
The work can help target renewable energy investments where they can do the most good.
Benefits of Renewable Energy Vary From Place to Place
The big takeaway from the study is that the environmental value of renewable energy varies significantly. In other words, one megawatt hour (MWh) of renewable power varies depending on where that power was generated.

The ‘Public Good’ of Controlling Mobile Pests with Genetically Engineered Crops
Choosing to plant genetically engineered seed that will grow insect-resistant corn (Bt corn) is more expensive at the time of planting but is common practice in places like the United States and the Philippines. This study takes a closer look at those who do not plant genetically engineered seed because their neighbors use of Bt corn eliminated the local pest pressure.
