SunEdison has signed a 10-year agreement with Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator to supply 5 megawatts/20 megawatt-hours of battery storage to the province. In addition to leveraging the battery’s storage capability, the IESO intends to use data from this energy storage project to analyze how storage can be used to … [continued]
Originally published on EV Obsession. If you’ve obsessively been following Tesla for long, there’s a decent chance you’ve already run across this 9-year-old article. But a few things this week reminded me that the majority of the population, and probably even the majority of EV drivers and enthusiasts, have never … [continued]

I recently had first-hand experience of the vomit-inducing horrors of the fossil-fueled lifestyle of “boaties.”
Back in August, I shared a chart CleanTechnica posted from ThinkProgress regarding the climate-related plans Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and Martin O’Malley. The issues mentioned concern the country’s (and the planet’s, as well) ecological well-being. In the same commentary, Scott Cooney predicted that, “Making this public now, early in the primaries, is a necessary step, and I think it … [continued]
In yet another demonstration that wind and solar can be just as reliable as fossil fuels, E.ON has invested in the energy storage innovator Greensmith.
After posting a story about clean energy in Uruguay, we received some interesting info from German-based Spirea GmbH, a boutique cleantech advisory firm from Berlin. This company is facilitating the development of green technologies in the emerging markets of Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Its technical operations specialist, Laurie … [continued]
2015 saw the UK destroy its position as a climate and energy leader, and now faces some tough questions in the wake of a successful Paris climate agreement. Despite a big year in 2014 which saw a number of renewable energy records broken and strong momentum created for the country’s … [continued]
Originally published on the ECOreport. The US omnibus budget bill was passed by overwhelming majorities in both the Senate (65 to 33) and House of Representatives (316 to 113). America’s solar and wind sectors are now assured they will receive incentives for another 5 years, but there is a lot to be concerned … [continued]
