Bill Nussey gives his perspective on the price of solar, new solar technologies, and the role of the government in the energy sector.
One of the most overused and misunderstood arguments among clean energy supporters is the notion that large scale utility solar is cheaper to build than smaller, rooftop systems. The truth is that they compete in entirely different markets.
When it comes to job creation, small scale solar installations, like rooftop, commercial, and community, create far more jobs per megawatt than building large utility-scale solar farms.
Which solar and local energy advocacy groups are making the biggest difference? Check out our list.
The real cause of the Texas grid outage of 2021 have been lost amidst misguided political bickering. This graph, which is based on undisputed publicly available data, makes it clear what happened.
Corn is the #1 crop grown on US farms. Most of it is used to make gasoline-additive ethanol. Solar is the much smarter option.
The truth is that solar panels are made almost entirely with abundant, earth-friendly materials like glass, aluminum, copper, and silicon. However, as the market for
The advantages are no longer just about going green, as solar will be cheaper for nearly everyone over time. Outlined below are some of the best resources to help answer your questions about solar energy and find the right solar installer for your needs.
I recently had the opportunity to speak at a virtual conference on the built environment called, Shadow Summit. It was an interesting event that focused
Burning coal creates CO2, NOx, SO2, mercury, and uranium. Coal also uses large amounts of land and water. See how 1 MWh of coal power impacts the environment.
Solar needs subsidies to survive. Solar energy is diffuse and requires too much land. Rooftop solar will raise prices on low-income families. Retired solar panels

A megawatt-hour is one of the most common measures of electricity. What is it, how does it relate to a megawatt, and how is it created?
Nuclear and coal plants cost more to build. Transmission investments have grown 10x over the last decade. But somehow solar+battery manages to get cheaper every year.
Thanks to technology, industries like transportation, food, and data processing are more affordable than ever before. But there is one technology-heavy industry where prices have been going up… electricity.
As solar power continues its rapid growth, will its large land requirements crowd out land otherwise needed for agriculture, farms, and pastures?
Will growing demand for solar panels put pressure on commodity supply chains, driving up costs, and even disrupting other industries? Not even close.

Part of our Freeing Energy 101 series: a basic introduction to electricity. The article uses water as an analogy to explain voltage, current, resistance, AC, DC, power, and energy.
In the aftermath of Hurrican Maria, Puerto Rico was left in darkness for months. Many communities responded by building their own solar microgrid, taking responsibility for their own electric power now and into the future.
Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico on Sept 20, 2017 and resulted in the worst blackout in American History. The lessons from this tragedy can teach us just how vital electricity has become for our modern society.
Electric vehicles will unleash a new set of competitive forces that will reshape the century-old electric monopoly business model
Electric vehicles (EVs) will transform transportation, and along the way, they will also transform the electric grid, in both positive and disruptive ways. I share some take-aways from a panel on EVs I recently led at the Center for Distributed Energy.
Energy from the wind and sun is intermittent and often unpredictable. Critics point to this as the fatal flaw of renewable energy and the reason electricity prices rose in places aggressively adopting it. Is this true?
As solar continues to increase its share of global energy production, people are starting to wonder what we’ll do with all the panels when they reach their end of life. How big a problem will this become?
A future powered by clean energy requires batteries to balance the intermittency of solar and wind. Experts say those batteries will be too expensive. Fortunately, by thinking differently, a clean energy future may be possible sooner than they think.
Were coal jobs the victims of a political war on coal or the result of over-zealous regulation? The real reason may surprise you.
Earth’s continents receive 23,000 terawatt hours of solar energy each year, compared to the 18.5 terawatt hours used by all of modern society each year.
With all the attention on coal employment, you might think that coal has the biggest share of energy jobs, right? Not by a long shot. Data from United States Energy Employment Report and the Solar Foundation tell a very different story.
A megawatt hour, like it’s little sibling, the kilowatt hour, is a measure of electricity. But just how much is it? How long will it light a bulb? How far can it drive an electric car?
If you want to understand the transition to clean energy, there are three books you need to read. While they aren’t necessarily about clean energy explicitly, they are crucial for understanding the industries that clean energy seeks to upend.
Coal began as dead plants that fell to the bottom of vast swamps millions of years ago. Which countries have the biggest reserves and which burns the most?
From old steamboats to the mines of Appalachia, to World War II, to the oil crisis of 1973, coal has played an easily overlooked but surprisingly foundational role in building America and the world.
If you want to get a visceral sense of how much coal it takes to power our world, you can start by calculating the amount that is required to power a single lightbulb.
How much CO2 and other kinds of pollution would be released if we powered a 100-watt lightbulb for a year using electricity from a coal plant? Let’s dig in.
There are five trends driving the replacement of fossil fuels with clean energy from the sun and wind, and none of them require sweeping new legislation or technology breakthroughs.
Over my 20 years attending TED, there have been a handful of mind-blowing talks on clean, renewable energy. A few of the talks were so powerful, they became catalysts on my own journey into this amazing new industry.
The Freeing Energy team is putting together the definitive list of venture capital and private equity firms investing in clean energy technologies. We need your help.
Taking your house or business entirely off-grid and powering it with clean energy isn’t easy today but these four steps are 100% achievable with current technology. And, before we know it, going off-grid will be as easy as installing a new air conditioner.
The price of solar cells has dropped 300-fold over the last four decades. What is driving this incredible decline and what does it predict for the years to come? Can solar really become the least expensive source of electricity in the long run?
The shift from fossil fuels to clean energy may prove to be the largest and most disruptive energy transition in history. Solar and batteries will unlock the century-old electric monopolies, unleashing a new era of innovation, entrepreneurship and customer choice.
Washington, DC has rediscovered the climate. Democratic rising star, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is championing the New Green Deal. We take a look inside this climate manifesto to see what’s really there and whether it can be a blueprint for a clean energy future.
After the 2011 collapse of cleantech investing, the industry is starting to show signs of life once again. Investors are slowly dusting off their checkbooks. This article has four core questions and five parts of the value chain that investors should consider as they fund new cleantech companies.
Cleantech is one of the biggest and most exciting technology industries today. But, despite the buzz, it remains complex and opaque. This article breaks it down into bite-sized chunks and explains how the terms and segments fit together.
Even conservative estimates forecast that transitioning to clean energy will require trillions of dollars of investments. Where will all this money come from? For better or worse, most of it will come from traditional sources like banks and governments. But, even thought it’s relatively smaller, venture capital will play a critical, catalytic role by lowering the risks for every other type of investment.
Clean energy is one of the largest business opportunities in history. But, in 2011, the US venture capital industry lost over $10 billion betting on it. What led to this cleantech collapse? And what did we learn as funding for cleantech is on the rise again?
Nuclear power is the most divisive and debated of all electric generation solutions. Critics say Fukushima and Chernobyl prove it is too dangerous. Supporters say there is no other proven way to generate huge amounts of carbon-free, baseload electricity. So, what is the answer? Should we step up our adoption of nuclear power or shut it down altogether?
I climbed a 250-foot wind turbine to learn firsthand how wind power is changing the landscape of global energy. But it wasn’t until I got to the very top that I embraced the most important truth of wind power – size matters.
My recent podcast interview with Suncast’s Nico Johnson covered a wide range of topics including the history of the grid and emerging business opportunities.
For nuclear power to achieve its promise as a source of global-scale, rock-steady, emissions-free power, new approaches are needed. To understand how nuclear power can rise again, we need to take a look at fusion, small modular reactors, traveling wave reactors and more.
While a stable grid is essential for the well being of developed countries, nuclear power magnifies the risks and rewards of making electricity to a level of national security. Few types of power generation are more contentious and none have the potential to affect the well being of nations like nuclear power – as both defender and demolisher.
I recently had the honor to keynote the 10th annual Southern Solar Summit. My presentation focused on two points. First, solar and battery will become the largest source of electricity sooner than people think. Second, Georgia is in a unique position to help lead the clean energy transformation.
There are few more important questions for the 21st century than how we will power our electric grids. Literally trillions of dollars and are at stake, and possibly even the future of the planet. It’s a good bet that wind and solar will make up the majority of the future grid. But, wind and solar are not the same. Wind turbines benefit from economies of scale. As they get bigger, their costs go down; but only up to a point. By comparison, solar’s cost declines are driven by something even more powerful, economies of volume – the more you make of something, the cheaper it gets.
Nussey moderated a panel at the Center for Distributed Energy’s Leaders Symposium called Disruptions in the Energy Industry.
Nuclear power plants produce almost no greenhouse gases. If you want a huge amount of steady 24/7/365 electricity that has minimal impact on climate change, nuclear is your go-to option. But the environmental promise of minimal greenhouse gas emissions comes with an environmental cost: nuclear waste. Decades of nuclear power has resulted in 250,000 tons of accumulated waste.
Radioactivity triggers a deep dread in most people. It is invisible and hard to detect. It is associated with birth defects. It can lie dormant in adults only to emerge as cancer decades later. But just how dangerous is it really? How harmful is the radiation from nuclear accidents?
Nuclear power has a unique challenge. While it’s much safer than most people realize, it easily conjures up thoughts of meltdowns, sickness, and bombs. Decades of movies and the occasional nuclear disasters have kept these fears at the forefront of people’s minds. Up until recently, the future of nuclear power looked grim. However, the growing concern over greenhouse gases has put nuclear back in the spotlight as a possible source of carbon-free electricity.
While nuclear may be a greenhouse gas-free source of energy, it is far from the most cost-effective way of generating electricity.
Coal, nuclear, wind, solar, or natural gas? What criteria should we use when comparing various types of electricity generation, and which one comes out on top?
That outdated business models, conflicting interests, and aging technologies hogtie today’s behemoth electric utilities is no more evident than in the picturesque rural community of Taos, New Mexico. It is there that an inspired and tenacious collection of local energy champions have upended the sluggish pace of change that is the “business as usual” of many utilities.
