Is EcoVadis greenwashing?

Thousands of companies have paid for their evaluation. It costs 18 000€ for 3 years for a company of 1000+ employees. There's nearly zero information about EcoVadis company in the media.

Is this somewhat similar to ethispehere.com ?

Continuing Education/Programs in Renewable Energy?

I am currently working with solar assets in California. I understand the compliance side and all of California's regulations pretty well (Cap-and-Trade, RPS, etc). However the technical side I am completely blind to (I had to google what an inverter was). I lean heavily on coworkers and consultants to help me understand but I would like to advance what I know and feel more confident in my career. I am looking to bridge this knowledge gap and also learn abouth other systems (wind, geothermal, etc), but Masters programs are very expensive, and honestly I don't want to stop working.

Does anyone know of any continuing education or certificate programs that can help me learn more? I'm looking for something that isnt just prerecorded slide decks. I would like the ability to ask questions and have conversations, but I may be looking for a unicorn of a program!

Do you have solar on your house or your business? What are some maintenance issues you have faced?

I'm an engineering student looking for problems to solve. One thing I've been suggested is to make something for cleaning solar panels. Where do you typically place your panels? And is cleaning the panels actually a big problem compared to something else?

Could Trump repeal the Inflation Reduction Act?

Trump has returned to the Oval Office with Republican control of Congress, and there are discussions about dismantling Biden’s climate policy, particularly the Inflation Reduction Act. However, with key Republican states benefiting economically from clean energy investments, could Trump risk alienating his base?

Additionally, with Elon Musk in his corner, will this complicate matters?

I can't decide on an MSc dissertation topic and it is stressing me out.

Hi everyone, I am doing my MSc in Sustainable Energy. The degree has a coursework component which I have just completed, so I'll be starting my dissertation soon. I need to choose my own topic but I have no idea where to start. I want to do a topic that I can do remotely since my university is in a different city and I work full-time as an Engineer.

My interests include green hydrogen and bioenergy. Any advice?
