There’s a new way to see how much methane is being released from Arctic lakes. Using synthetic aperture radar (SAR), a research team at the University of Alaska Fairbanks was able to study satellite images differently.
No, lithium isn’t going to become “the new oil,” regardless of what the pandering pundits of the popular press say (it’s a raw material, not a fuel, and it’s one of the most abundant elements on Earth).
A new 93 MWh Tesla Powerpack system installed in Alaska by the Homer Electric Association, Inc., will be used to directly offset electricity that would have otherwise required a peaker plant to fire up. The new battery pack will be installed at the Soldotna Power Plant (map), adjacent to the existing natural gas-fired GE LM 6000 turbine currently used to provide electricity to cover peak usage in the area.
Oil spills don’t make the news very often unless they are big, like the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill, which killed 11 people and spewed an estimated 205 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. But spills happen frequently. According to data from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), there were 137 oil spills in 2018, about 11 per month.
New Green Deal in all but in name: diesel-killing solar power company has big plans for its socially responsible, “Alaska tough” business model.
The impacts of the spill left an entire generation reeling from the impacts of oil pollution.
Cold weather or not, diesel-killing solar panels are creating new jobs and pumping out clean power for remote villages in Alaska.
CNET Road Show takes us inside the Tesla cold weather testing facility in Alaska for some insights into what makes its stability and traction control systems so good.
It’s widely known that California is the center of US electric vehicle adoption. California leads the country in terms of overall electric vehicle (EV) sales as well as EV market share of new vehicle sales. It’s also where Tesla was born and where nearly every US EV startup pops up.
