I just recently ran across this video below. I actually shared it not long after it was published, but that was a year and a half ago. The video includes excellent talks by Mark Z Jacobson, Mark Ruffalo, and Marco Krapels. The portion of Mark Jacobcson’s presentation on why we … [continued]
Credit Suisse on December 20 released a report with some quite bullish projections regarding renewable energy growth and generation in the United States, which someone in the solar industry kindly passed on to me. Here’s the short summary: Our take: We see an opportunity for renewable energy to take an … [continued]
There are actually thousands of cleantech champions out there, and many of them are CleanTechnica readers. I was actually a bit hesitant to make this list because of that — there are going to be a lot of people not on this list that really could be. However, in honor … [continued]
Showing yet again how obsessive I am, via Planetsave,here are what I consider to be the top solar stories of the year. Again, I haven’t listed 10 or 20 or 30 stories, but 150. However, they are split into numerous categories, so feel free to peruse just the categories that … [continued]
Originally published on Cost of Solar. I can’t believe another year is already starting. What a fast year 2013 was! I have to say that I don’t really care for the New Year’s Eve parties or the fireworks. However, I do love reflecting on the past year, reflecting on life, … [continued]
Perhaps I’m just in a good mood, but this video below is great. Aside from being fun and catchy — and very well produced — the video focuses on the fact that technologies evolve, and uses that as a good way of showing that fossil fuels are way out of … [continued]
With our two recent surveys, I was a bit surprised at how many responses we got from people who have both an electric car and solar panels. I know that about 40% of California EV owners have solar panels, but I didn’t expect nearly 100 readers with both would chime … [continued]
Overall, 2013 was a good year for cleantech, and I expect every year following this one will also be good for it. The fact of the matter is: cleantech is increasingly just… tech (aka normal tech). There’s a lot of growing to be done, but it’s inevitable. The real question … [continued]
Originally published on Solar Love. The documented savings for people who go solar are enormous. Solar power is surely now saving millions of people billions of dollars. However, generic studies regarding solar savings and even building-specific projections of how much you can save aren’t enough for some people. Generaytor may … [continued]
The US Department of Energy last week awarded $13 million for five solar projects aimed at strengthening domestic solar manufacturing and speeding the commercialization of even more efficient, and even more affordable photovoltaic and concentrating solar power technologies. The $13 million in awards comes from the DOE’s SunShot Initiative, and they … [continued]
