The largest EV fast-charging network in the US rolled out in Illinois at the end of last week. Governor Pat Quinn and representatives from the Illinois Tollway, 350Green LLC and 7-Eleven, Inc. made the announcement last Friday, noting in a news release that drivers can now “charge an electric vehicle in under … [continued]
Cape Wind, the offshore wind energy project that has run a decade-plus marathon against rich NIMBY activists trying to attack it from any angle, would reduce the price of electricity in the New England region by $7.2 billion over 25 years, according to a new study published by economic consulting firm Charles … [continued]
Now, I think everyone knows that coal is going down. It’s too expensive. Especially if you take its health costs into account. But some (i.e. the US Energy Information Agency) don’t seem to have a clue as to how fast it is going out, and and many also don’t seem … [continued]
It astounds me sometimes how bad humans are at looking at the full price of something. We somehow think that the price on a product is its true price, and buying ‘cheaper’ is the logical thing to do. In the energy sector, it’s often expressed as a given that … [continued]
This is a wonderful billboard from Vote Solar that I ran across the other day on Facebook. Of course, I reshared it, and I think it could have been my most popular share ever. For good reason, too, it’s a simple yet important point expressed in an ingenius way. … [continued]

Here’s a fun music video related to clean and dirty energy to kick off your week — I absolutely love it. Enjoy!
The sad state of US politics today — health-destroying, polluting oil companies making records profits get to keep $4 billion a year in subsidies (subsidies they’ve been getting for generations), while 47 senators who support that vote against the clean-energy, job-creating wind energy industry. Ugh… Here’s more from Richard … [continued]
The concentrated solar power (aka concentrating solar power) market will continue to grow, even in the midst of solar PV’s rapid cost reductions. According to the latest reports, China is projected to have 1,000 MW (or 1 GW) of concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) capacity by 2015 and 3 … [continued]
