Would you like to know how US power plants stack up to the rest of the world’s in terms of carbon emissions? I doubt that many Americans will enjoy the answer. A report released this morning by Environment America, the national federation of statewide advocacy groups working on clean air, clean … [continued]
We recently received a story pitch from Pelican Water Systems that reminded me yet again that clean water tech is a form of cleantech that we probably don’t discuss enough.

The purifier can hold ten liters of water and takes about three hours of direct sunlight to create potable water. For the hundreds of millions of people without reliable access to clean water … [continued]
While most of the technologies we write on here on CleanTechnica – solar power, wind power, energy efficiency, and clean transportation technologies – are focused on addressing our climate and energy crises, another critical crisis facing the world today is the water crisis.
Today is world water day. We’ve written quite a number of posts on different ways water is connected to cleantech and clean energy. Rather than write a whole new post on one or two aspects of this, I’ve decided to do a compilation piece. The following are articles on CleanTechnica (and a few from our sister site Planetsave) on some of the connections between cleantech and water.
This is something I’ve been wanting to write on for awhile, but knowing that it would be cool news no matter when I shared it, I let it sit in line for longer than I normally would. MIT engineers from the Field and Space Robotics Laboratory have come up with … [continued]
