Clean energy: How the world is cleaning up its act

Last year, new global capacity of hydroelectricity, wind, solar, and other renewable power grew more than in any previous year. Clean energy faces daunting obstacles, but the progress on energy and climate to date is notable and likely to continue.
The clean-energy world of the future is still a long way off, but it is arriving faster than ever before.

Last year, new global capacity of hydroelectricity, wind, solar, and other renewable power grew by more than in any year before, according to a new report by the Paris-based International Energy Agency, continuing a run of record-breaking additions that stretches back to the beginning of this century. Renewable electricity now accounts for about 22 percent of power generation worldwide, up from 18.4 percent in 2005. The rise is largely due to the emergence of the onshore wind industry and the spread of solar photovoltaic technology. By decade’s end, the IEA projects that more than a quarter of the world’s electricity will come from sources that are carbon-free and naturally replenishable.

That’s good news for the planet. As world leaders prepare for climate talks in Paris next year, scientists continue to issue dire warnings about the way humans have long harnessed energy for development. Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that trap heat in Earth’s atmosphere and warm the planet. If the world continues to release these gases at current rates, most scientists agree the results for civilization would be devastating.

Renewable energy is far from perfect, but it offers a cleaner, more sustainable alternative for keeping the lights on. Countries around the globe are increasingly embracing the technology not only for environmental ends, but also as a means to foster innovation, grow new industries, and bolster energy security. “The realization is gradually growing that climate protection is not costly but profitable, because it’s cheaper to save energy than to buy it, let alone burn it,” says Amory Lovins, chief scientist at Rocky Mountain Institute, a Colorado-based nonprofit that promotes efficiency and renewables. “And you don’t need a treaty to get countries to do what’s in their economic self-interest.”

The price differential, already shrinking, will continue to narrow in coming decades. Extracting coal and other carbon-heavy fuels will get more expensive as resources dwindle, analysts say, just as new inventions, policies, and business models continue to make renewable power cheaper, more reliable, and more efficient. That promises to accelerate the expansion of a smarter, cleaner, 21st-century power grid.

“If you think about the first portable phones, they were the size of a loaf of bread,” says Steven Cohen, executive director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University. “Now we have a phone that is smaller than your wallet.” A similar progression will happen for rooftop solar panels and batteries, Mr. Cohen says, making them cheaper and more convenient than buying power from conventional utilities.

More promising yet, the rise of wind and solar is happening most dramatically where the need is greatest. China is the world’s largest carbon emitter, and has fueled its dramatic growth with coal, the world’s dirtiest fuel. That’s changing.

Protesting Finance Ministry cleaners take fight to Strasbourg

A delegation representing 393 Finance Ministry cleaners who were placed in a civil service mobility scheme last year, were in the second day of a three-day visit to Strasbourg on Tuesday, where they are holding meetings with unionists and members of the European Parliament. The aim of the visit is to drum up support for their campaign to be rehired after being placed in a labor pool last year, which will likely lead to them being dismissed. The decision to take their campaign to the European stage comes as a Supreme Court judge prepares to challenge a previous ruling by a First Instance Court instructing the government to rehire the cleaners. Supreme Court judge Christoforos Kosmidis is reportedly drafting a decision which says that the cleaning ladies cannot be deemed as having been fired, but, rather, that they belong to a category of state employee whose positions were abolished as part of government measures to reduce public expenditures. He is also expected to support a Finance Ministry decision stating that cleaning services in public buildings should be assigned to private companies. The Supreme Court judge's ruling comes in response to a ruling earlier this year by a First Instance court deeming the dismissals unconstitutional. The cleaners' campaign has already made international headlines as they have staged numerous protest rallies and a lengthy sit-in at Finance Ministry headquarters in central Athens.

There's a Better Way to Dry Clean Your Clothes

Everyone has a few garments that they need to dry clean on occasion, even it's just for that one wedding every few years. But the solvent most commonly used in the process, known as "perc," is a known carcinogen. Fortunately, there's a better option available.

A brief (but explosive) history of dry cleaning solvents

Romans were the first recorded civilization to employ dry cleaning. Their fullonicae, the dry cleaners of the time, employed a mix of urine-derived ammonia and fuller's earth (a type of clay soil containing the mineral palygorskite) to gently scrub wine stains from wool clothing.

It wasn't until the mid-19th century that people stopped peeing on their clothes and switched to modern petroleum-based solvents—on accident. As Rachel Swaby previously explained on Gizmodo:

In the 1800s, a French gentleman named Jolly Belin spilled some kerosene on either a gross tablecloth or some dirty laundry, depending on who you talk to. His clumsy mistake turned up an unexpected result: the oily mixture of hydrocarbons banished the stains already built up on the fabric. Thinking he might have landed upon a better cleaner than soap and water, he started testing kerosene's dirt-removal powers. Pleased with his results, he opened a kerosene-powered cleaning service in Paris-or what's now known as the first ever dry-cleaning establishment.

Kerosene (believe it or not) lifted dirt without messing up the clothing's fibers.
But as effective as these solvents were, they had a nasty habit of expelling highly toxic and explosive fumes. The resulting firestorm of dry cleaning accidents prompted the government to begin regulating the industry as well as the development of less flammable solvents. By the 1930s, the industry hit upon its current gold standard of solvents: perchlorethylene, or perc.

The promise and problem with perc

Perc, as described by the FDA:

It is is a clear, colorless liquid that has a sharp, sweet odor and evaporates quickly. It is an effective cleaning solvent and is used by most professional dry cleaners because it removes stains and dirt from all common types of fabrics. Perc usually does not cause clothes to shrink, nor dyes to bleed. Perc is not flammable, unlike solvents commonly used to clean clothes in the 1930's and '40's. Since perc can be reused, it is a cost-effective and efficient solvent for cleaning clothes. Perc is also a toxic chemical with both human health and environmental concerns.
That's putting it lightly. Long-term, perc has been show to be carcinogenic in both humans and animals; but even very short-term exposure to high concentrations of perc can result in "dizziness, fatigue, headaches, confusion, nausea, and skin, lung, eye and mucous membrane irritation," according to the FDA website. "Repeated exposure to high levels can also irritate the skin, eyes, nose and mouth, and can cause liver damage and respiratory failure. Perc might cause effects at lower levels as well."

And its not just those that come in direct contact with the solvent that are harmed. Lab studies suggest that high-level exposure can cause birth defects, miscarriages, abnormal growth and development rates in fetuses and newborns, reduced fertility, and even death in lab mice.

There have been some case studies of industry workers who seemed to develop cancer at an elevated rate. Human-based studies specific to this chemical have been few and far between, so the link between perc and these symptoms in our species remains inconclusive. Not exactly comforting, nor has it stopped California from banning the solution outright.

What's more, when perc is vented into the atmosphere it breaks down into toxic and ozone-destroying chemicals. If it makes it into the soil, perc is quite toxic to plants. And if it makes its way into streams and waterways, it will kill and sicken marine life because, you guessed it, it's toxic.

Making a clean, green start

Luckily, there are a number of safer alternatives. While systems leveraging liquefied carbon dioxide, glycol ethers, and ultrasonic "wet cleaning" are currently under development, they're all still a ways from hitting market. Today's most widely employed perc alternative is liquid silicone, known as decamethylcyclopentasiloxane or for short, "D5."

This clear, odorless—and non-toxic!— solvent is the lynchpin of the patented GreenEarth Cleaning solution. Not only is it less damaging to fabrics than perc, it does not appear to elevate cancer risks in humans and most animals nor does it produce the same fetal defects. What's more, a 2002 study conducted by the International Fabricare Institute found that D5 and perc to be "virtually identical in terms of the ability to remove stains completely."

D5 does not fall under California's prop 65, one of the most stringent anti-carcinogen laws in the country, nor is it regulated by the EPA. In fact, the EPA has gone and specifically exempted the chemical from VOC regulations as well as designated it a SNAP (Significant New Alternatives Policy) material—one that the agency promotes instead of the older, ozone-depleting solvents.

There are currently 980 dry cleaners throughout the US (more than 1,600 worldwide) that use D5. Unfortunately, as D5 is a newer and less available product, it can cost up to twice the price of traditional chemicals, which has limited its adoption, especially among smaller independent dry cleaners. That expense is also passed along to the consumer. Still, if you don't mind paying a bit extra for the peace of mind that your laundry won't give you cancer or destroy the environment, you can find a shop near you using this locator.
