I’m not so sure how practical this is compared to solar carports or “solar trees” (or simple solar roofs), but these little solar panel car covers certainly are pretty! Here’s a brief summary of this solar-powered EV charging technology from Jo Borras of Gas2: Industrial designer Hakan Gürsu calls this … [continued]
I gave a long introduction of my 3-tier system for sharing top cleantech stories in my previous post, so I won’t repeat that here. I’ll just dive right into 10 EV stories that almost got covered on CleanTechnica, but barely missed the cut: 1. Wireless Power Transmission For Transit, Trains, Harbor … [continued]

Continuing on with our daily series on Leonardo ENERGY videos, here’s one on measuring the “smartness” of the electricity grid:
Continuing on with our daily series on Leonardo ENERGY videos, here’s another plan to power the world 100% with renewable energy — wind, water, sunlight, and biomass:
How much can/should the world be powered by renewable energy? Or how about your country or region? A number of studies have tackled this question, and I recently realized that we hadn’t stuck them all together in one easy-to-find place. So, I created this page specifically for that purpose: 70%, 80%, … [continued]

However, beyond our own articles, several bloggers and reporters who were in the same VIP Media program as Marika and me have also … [continued]
