International energy imbalance: Rising renewable investments spark affordability, reliability concerns
Global investment in wind/solar is 7x higher per energy unit than coal, gas and nuclear combined, per IEA’s 2025 report. Oil, coal and gas investments fell to 33% of total energy spending in 2025—down from 55% a decade ago—despite supplying 80% of the world’s energy. Renewable energy sectors like solar are losing billions due to […]

Renewable energy’s hidden cost: High-tech mining wreaks environmental havoc
Global metal extraction quadrupled since 1970, fueled by renewable energy demands. Study links mining to water pollution, biodiversity loss and deforestation in sensitive zones like rainforests and deserts. Top five countries (Russia, China, Australia, U.S., Indonesia) account for 50% of global mining areas. Renewable energy projects require six to nine times more minerals than fossil […]
