Energi terbarukan justru bisa bikin perang energi berkurang di masa depan. Perang di Timur Tengah hampir selalu membawa kabar buruk bagi energi dunia. Ketika Iran, Amerika Serikat, dan Israel kembali terlibat dalam eskalasi militer pada akhir Februari lalu, pasar energi global langsung bereaksi.

Can Renewable Energy End Energy Wars?

can renewable energy end energy wars?

Renewable energy may reduce energy wars in the future. Wars in the Middle East almost always bring bad news for global energy markets.

How Far Has Indonesia’s Energy Transition Really Gone?

The honest answer, straight to the point:We’ve started. But we’re slow. And we move back and forth. If the energy transition is a marathon, Indonesia is already wearing running shoes and a cool outfit, but we still keep stopping to debate whether we’re running toward the stadium or just hanging out at the park. The […]

Transisi Energi Indonesia: Progresnya Jalan atau Stuck?

Jawaban jujur, to the point: kita sudah jalan.Tapi pelan. Dan sering maju-mundur. Kalau transisi energi itu maraton, Indonesia sudah pakai sepatu lari dan outfit paling kalcer, tapi masih sering berhenti buat debat mau lari ke GBK atau nongkrong dulu di Tebet Eco Park. Padahal targetnya ada. Pemerintah menargetkan energi terbarukan mencapai 23% dalam bauran energi […]

Young People at the Crossroads of Opportunity and Challenges in Green Careers

The usual buzz of university life filled the canteen of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) at Universitas Indonesia—known among students as “Dallas.” In one corner, Syarifa Amira sat alone with a five-thousand-rupiah iced tea, her eyes shifting between the crowd and her laptop screen. As a final-year geology student, she was racing […]

Gentengisasi: Beneran Solusi Limbah atau Hanya Obsesi terhadap Batu Bara?

Presiden Prabowo Subianto tiba-tiba bicara tentang atap rumah dalam forum resmi negara. Di tengah Rapat Koordinasi Nasional Pemerintah Pusat dan Daerah 2026 di Sentul, Bogor, ia menyinggung soal seng yang panas, berkarat, dan menurutnya tidak mencerminkan Indonesia yang ingin “aman, sehat, resik, dan indah.” Indonesia harus ASRI, katanya. Dan salah satu caranya mengganti atap seng […]

Gentengisasi: A Real Waste Solution or Just an Obsession with Coal?

President Prabowo Subianto suddenly spoke about house roofs at an official state forum. In the middle of the 2026 National Coordination Meeting of Central and Regional Governments in Sentul, Bogor, he brought up zinc roofing—hot, rusty, and, in his view, not reflective of an Indonesia that is “safe, healthy, clean, and beautiful.” Indonesia must be […]

Why Do We Need Clean Energy to Push Back the Climate Crisis?

Imagine the Earth as a human body.For decades, we’ve been “drinking” energy from coal, oil, and gas. It gives a quick boost, cheap, powerful, and reliable. But slowly, it damages our internal organs. Now, the side effects are impossible to ignore.That’s what we call the climate crisis. So, what exactly is the climate crisis? In […]

Kenapa Kita Butuh Energi Bersih untuk Menghalau Krisis Iklim?

Coba bayangin bumi kayak tubuh manusia. Selama puluhan tahun, kita “minum” energi dari batu bara, minyak, dan gas, cepat bikin kuat, tapi pelan-pelan merusak organ dalam. Sekarang, efek sampingnya mulai kerasa. Dan itu yang kita sebut krisis iklim. Jadi, krisis iklim itu apa sih? Singkatnya: bumi kepanasan. Secara ilmiah, krisis iklim terjadi karena penumpukan gas […]

Indonesia’s Energy: What We Use, What We Have

When we talk about energy in Indonesia, the truth is, we’re incredibly rich. The real issue isn’t whether we have energy resources or not, but which ones we choose to use, and who they’re used for. Our daily lives, from rushing to catch the KRL in the morning to scrolling TikTok before bed, are powered […]
