Pursuing a career in renewable energy
With the state of the climate crisis, renewable energy will be very important going forward.
Exploring alternative energy sources: The future of renewable power
El Nino, La Nina, wildfire, floods, heatwaves – all these terms have been plastered on every news source, both digital and print for the past few years.

The government must phase out inefficient power plants, rethink energy policy
Besides forex reserves, nature needs replenishing too
Nature wants to be treated right and climate change impacts will become even harsher if positive changes are not incorporated in the current practices.
The economic case for renewable energy
It is time to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels altogether.
Why carbon emissions could cost Bangladeshi RMG makers
