Cipher reader and president of Holzer Strategies Ben Holzer took these photos of the SunStyle “dragonscale” solar panels on the roof of Google’s Mountain View campus while on a recent hike in the Bay Area. When built, it was estimated the panels would provide about 40% of the campus’s annual energy needs. Each week, we feature a photo that is somehow related to energy, the thing we all need but don’t notice until it’s expensive or gone. Email your ideas and photos to news@ciphernews.com.

The new era of great power rivalry between the U.S. and China has profound implications for the urgently needed transition to clean energy by complicating cooperation between the world’s two largest emitters and prompting Western nations to erect significant barriers to cheap Chinese clean energy products, writes Jason Bordoff, founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy in a new #Voices article. Countering China’s dominant position in clean energy while minimizing deceleration of the energy transition requires policymakers to embrace open markets with the rest of the world, he says.
