“ People ‘ over-produce ’ pollution because they are not paying for the costs of dealing with it .” - Ha-Joon Chang
THE PATH TO GREEN energy continues to be the hottest topic in the energy sector and this month ’ s edition of Energy Digital gets in the thick of things . With companies and cities alike taking the pledge to go 100 percent renewable in the near future , we highlight some of the biggest initiatives underway in 2016 and the monumental benefits that come along with them .
Also this month , we take a look inside the Breakthrough Energy Coalition , a committee made up of tech billionaires such as Bill Gates that look to accelerate the pace of private sector investment in clean energy . “ The existing system of basic research , clean energy investment , regulatory frameworks , and subsidies fails to sufficiently mobilize investment in truly transformative energy solutions for the future ,” the Clean Energy Coalition said in its mission statement . The coalition , which will be a publicprivate partnership between governments , research institutions and investors , is based on the principle that technology will solve our global energy issues .
Because companies have a reputation for profits over people , we ranked the top 10 corporations going 100 percent green . These companies continue to lead the charge .
