Summer ’ s almost over and that means vacations have probably come and gone for many . This month ’ s issue of Energy Digital is a globetrotting one , though , so pack your bags .

For our cover story , we ’ ll travel to Iceland and feature its bustling geothermal industry . A land of volcanoes , skyr , and Sigur Rós , Iceland is an incredible country with vast natural geothermal resources . The country has taken advantage of these resources and the international community is starting to take notice .

We ’ ll also take a trip to the land down under to find out what ’ s going with the Australian government ’ s renewable energy policy and why it has utilities and green energy advocates furious .

Over in India , we ’ ll see how solar is helping modernize the rural countryside and lead the fight to provide clean energy access to some of the 400 million citizens without power . In waste management , we ’ ll look at the often ignored problem of food waste and see how some of the issue ’ s biggest offenders are coming up with some surprising solutions .

Finally , our Top 10 this month features Fortune 500 companies who are making the most out of green energy .

Enjoy the issue , and have a great trip !
