From coal to solar and wind power plants: Towards a renewable energy production in India, Pennsylvania, and the Philippines

From coal to solar and wind power plants: Towards a renewable energy production in India, Pennsylvania, and the Philippines

The transition to renewable energy production must be tackled globally. Three examples from India, the US state of Pennsylvania and the Philippines show that climate-friendly power generation can succeed. They are leaving coal behind them and are building large solar and wind power plants. This is because coal, oil and gas are fossil fuels that
