I sometimes forget that not everyone has the time to read all 9,190 solar energy articles we’ve published here on CleanTechnica — or even 10% of them, or 1% of them. Okay, who am I kidding — most people haven’t read a single solar energy article published on CleanTechnica. Our goal … [continued]
Since “22 Ways To Delay The Electric Car Revolution” and then the expanded “50 Tips For Slowing The Electric Car Revolution” were such big hits, I thought I’d run with “44 Ways You Can Slow The Transition To The Solar Century” to keep the “fun” going. (Of course, as someone wrote under … [continued]
Time to rise above the muddling, chaotic news in politics — or worse, confusing or horrifying stories dominating the mainstream news — and take another look into positive, productive activity at the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the US Department of Energy. A bright change is coming via Solar Ready Vets, and … [continued]
The wide-scale deployment of solar energy technologies in Ireland would see the generation of over 7,300 “high-value” jobs and would also slash fines from the European Union by more than €300 million a year onward from 2020, according to a new report from the Irish Solar Energy Association (ISEA). The … [continued]
Jobs, jobs, jobs — this is what people want. Or a “better economy” — so they can make more money and buy more things, maybe even a Tesla or a Twizy. So this is what political campaign after political campaign focuses on. The stupid thing about it, though, is that some of … [continued]

What did they really accomplish? President Obama told reporters,”We have an integrated economy already, the question is under what terms are … [continued]
Originally published on Planetsave. As many celebrate the shuttering of coal-fired electricity generation facilities, a call for retraining this former energy workforce from coal to solar is opening the eyes of some. In a study published in Energy Economics, researchers from Michigan Technological University and Oregon State University see a … [continued]
Following recent changes to the UK government’s energy policies, the local solar energy industry has been forced to slash more than half of its workforce — a loss of over half of the total workforce of 35,000 — according to recent reports. While some cuts were likely on the cards no … [continued]
Originally published on EV Obsession. Tesla appears to be recruiting new sales staff in Texas — and also in Florida, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, and Georgia — going by a recent post in the Tesla Motors Club forum. Does this mean that changes are on the way in Texas … [continued]
Editor’s Note: In episode #27 of Cleantech Talk, Matthew and I enjoyed highlighting that the fastest growing job in the USA is now a cleantech job — wind turbine technician. We probably didn’t have quite as much fun talking about global warming–induced or global warming–exacerbated forest fires, drought, and pine-beetle infestation, and the ways in … [continued]
