Last May, four countries in Northern Europe declared their intention to install at least 65 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy in the wind-rich North Sea by 2030, up from the current 20 GW. It’s another sign that the offshore wind industry is set for an unprecedented boom as the technology improves and countries rush to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and speed the journey to net zero.
Despite Britain’s exit from the European Union two years ago, a unique piece of infrastructure forever links the country to the Continent: the Channel Tunnel. This hard connection beneath the English Channel has safely guided passenger and freight rail for nearly 30 years since its unveiling in 1994. Tourism and economic activity have expanded greatly over that time, and 25% of UK-EU trade is now dependent on “the Chunnel.”

Renewables have long been the fastest-growing segment of the power-generation industry. But according to a new report from the International Energy Agency, there is even more dramatic growth ahead.
We may take it for granted, but the electrical grid is one of the most remarkable systems around, sending electricity through thousands of miles of power lines into millions of homes and charging up billions of devices. Traditionally, it’s also been a centralized system, where the hub of a power plant pushes out energy into the spokes toward every end user. Climate change means that has to change, though — and in ways you may not expect.
It’s small, aluminum and barely larger than a hardcover book. But just like the dial-up modem a few decades ago, the device is helping revolutionize electrical power in ways we haven’t seen before.
