Originally published on the Mosaic blog by Tim Bolger In 2012, the Department of Defense announced its goal to deploy three gigawatts of renewable power and meet 25% of its energy needs with renewable energy by 2025 – enough to power 750,000 homes. Each armed forces department has separate timelines … [continued]
The Energy Capital Group based in Provo is trying to negotiate power purchasing agreements for a 300 MW solar power project planned for construction in Millard County, near Delta. If completed, it would be Utah’s largest solar power facility by far. Over 1,700 acres of land have already been identified … [continued]
Solar and wind power could be cost-competitive — without federal subsidies — with conventional power sources if new renewable energy development is focused around highly productive locations, according to a new study from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). As is often the case, this assumes fossil fuels (e.g., natural … [continued]

America’s wind energy industry may be coming off a record-setting 2012 but could potentially soar even higher – if federal policy uncertainty is resolved in time to help overcome the natural gas boom and fast-closing state renewable energy targets.
This outlook from the US Department of Energy’s “2012 Wind Technologies Market Report,” underlines how important stable government policy is to growing a clean energy economy and reveals the economic potential of a future powered by wind energy.
A solar energy revolution is dawning in America, led by the “Dazzling Dozen” – twelve states whose progressive policies dominate the solar industry with 85% of all US solar capacity but just 28% of the total population.
Environment America’s “Lighting the Way” report outlines their successful policies and illuminate the path forward to a nationwide clean energy economy.
If Governor Martin O’Malley gets his way, Maryland may soon lead America in the fight against climate change and transition toward a clean energy future.
Today, O’Malley announced an aggressive plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions 25% and boost renewable energy 25% by 2020 – both up from current 20% targets.
Here’s another fun guest post from Lisa Ann Pinkerton, Founder of Women In Cleantech & Sustainability and Founder and President of Technica Communications. This one comes to us from Women in Cleantech & Sustainability: In 2011, the National Venture Capital Association and Dow Jones VentureSource released their study of the diversity makeup of the venture capital industry. Not surprisingly, the majority … [continued]
The latest NPD Solarbuzz North America PV Markets Quarterly has forecast growing US demand for solar photovoltaic (PV) panels throughout the rest of 2013 towards another record high of 4.3 GW, a near-20% increase over 2012 levels. Such demand has brought US contribution to the global market to over 12%, … [continued]
