Clean Tech News & Views: Solar Energy News. Wind Energy News. EV News. & More.
Let’s face it .. electric vehicles have one big serious drawback: cables. You can’t go far in them and when you do you need to grapple with some serpentine cable to get energy back into the car. Green it might be, convenient it certainly ain’t. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just drive to [...]
This is something I’ve been wanting to write on for awhile, but knowing that it would be cool news no matter when I shared it, I let it sit in line for longer than I normally would. MIT engineers from the Field and Space Robotics Laboratory have come up with the concept for a solar-powered, [...]
I love finding great clean energy news from my home state of Florida, and even more so from my home city of Sarasota. For some reason, it makes it all seem a little more real, a little more significant, and a little more widespread to me. News from Florida now is that Pelican Bay, Florida [...]
The geothermal industry has begun an unprecedented expansion starting this year, as a record 7, 875 MW of geothermal projects broke ground, the Geothermal Market Update reports this week. While the pre-deadline dash to break ground on new US solar projects has been getting all the coverage these last few months, the similarly deadline-driven geothermal [...]
As part of efforts to clean up the Danube River, the famous waterway is getting a new sewage treatment plant — and in one of those sustainability twofers we love so much, the gigantic structure will be capped with a 10,000-square meter green roof. The idea is that sewage treatment plants have enormous footprints, and [...]
This special guest post comes to us from Rebecca D. Costa, author of The Watchman’s Rattle: Thinking Our Way Out of Extinction (more on Rebecca in the bio at the bottom). If we took a moment to rank every government agency in the United States on the basis of tackling complex problems, NASA would have [...]
If you keep up with solar energy news and energy news, in general, 4.2% of U.S. electricity coming from solar energy by 2020 probably sounds like a good estimate. According to a new report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, that is exactly what the U.S. could reach due to continuously decreasing solar costs and continuous [...]
