Cool new service. Read the post, use the service, share: Fuel economy of flights on travel websites? While the idea may seem far-fetched at first, its equivalent on the ground has been around for many years: Governments require it, car manufacturers and dealerships advertise it, and you probably know yours: … [continued]
During the electric vehicle (EV) hangout I was on last week, one of the participants asked about information on currently available EVs. Of course, I was happy to be able to send him over to our “EV Facts” page. However, that page isn’t jam-packed with info, and it was in … [continued]
Here’s a guest post on an upcoming conference in the UK that looks quite interesting. Have a look and see if you’d like to attend: The UK doesn’t currently have sufficient capacity to process all waste that could be utilised for energy — an estimated 30 million tonnes go unexploited … [continued]

However, what are often more important than absolute figures are relative figures. By looking at … [continued]
California Governor Jerry Brown, in his State of the State, showed some strong support for solar power and an ambitious Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). Naturally, this earned the praise of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today. Meanwhile, however, solar-blessed Arizona took a big step backwards when it comes to solar … [continued]
Yep, you should make sure you scroll down our home page for the hottest cleantech news and commentary, but for some “almost the hottest” cleantech news and commentary from the past day or so, here’s a curated list of goodies: Solar Power Australia Solar PV Market – Contraction Seen in … [continued]
