For instance, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that the region will need to add 100,000km of new transmission lines by 2030 to meet rising energy demand, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, but ASEAN countries are currently on track to add less than half of that by the end of the decade. Indonesia leads […]

Solar flares are known for their influence beyond their point of origin. They emit powerful bursts of radiation that can interfere with radio communications, disrupt power grids, scramble navigation signals, and pose risks to astronauts and spacecraft operating beyond Earths protective atmosphere. While our planets magnetic field protects against most solar radiation, powerful eruptions can

Solar storms batter Earth every year, creating the occasional aurora and sometimes even paralyzing power grids. But these common phenomena pale in comparison to a monstrous event that inundated the planet with particles from the Sun around 14,300 years ago, identified as the strongest solar storm ever recorded in a recent study. The study ,

The Sun rarely produced extreme solar particle events, orders of magnitude stronger than everything directly observed. Their enormous power can greatly distort the production of cosmogenic isotopes, e.g., radiocarbon (14C), in the terrestrial system, leaving clear signatures in natural terrestrial archives including dateable tree rings. Eight such events were known to occur during the past
“That effectively means there is a built-in way to physically destroy the grid.” Chinese-made renewable energy infrastructure may be posing security risks after unexplained communication equipment was found inside some of solar panel inverters, Reuters reports. The outlet says that two people familiar with the matter say that US energy officials are now reassessing where
