While a US transition to renewable energy by 2030 is possible, streamlined policies with clear goals and incentives are necessary to get there, says an industrial engineering professor.

While Congress considers new renewable energy incentives, Texas’ sprawling wind farms tell a story about renewable energy ownership in the US – and who benefits from subsidies.

An economist explains coal power’s rise and fall in charts.

The costs of three frequently touted solutions – tree planting, carbon capture and geoengineering – would be astronomical to make even a tiny dent in the carbon accumulated in the atmosphere.

Failing to consider neighborhood texture in hurricane-related wind loss models may undervalue stronger construction by over 80 percent.

Sometimes wind and solar power produce more electricity than the local grid can handle. Better energy storage and transmission could move extra energy to where it’s needed instead of shutting it off.

A state-of-the-art facility replaces a nearly 80-year-old campus landmark to become the most advanced wind tunnel in U.S. academia.

The test facility in Miami helps building designers prevent future storm damage. With the warming climate intensifying hurricanes, engineers are planning a new one with 200 mph winds and storm surge.

MIT Energy Initiative report supports energy storage paired with renewable energy to achieve clean energy grids.
