University of Georgia Orders 20 Electric Buses from Proterra
While an order of 20 electric buses still not be at “China level,” that’s a pretty huge order in the US, especially for a university bus fleet.
Clean Power Plan = Lower Electricity Bills
Originally published on Solar Love. A report from the University of Georgia says that states can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by using a combination of renewable energy sources and energy-saving strategies. It says those changes are affordable if done properly. Marilyn Brown, the project’s lead researcher and the Brook … [continued]
Harvesting Electricity From Plants — Plant-Based Energy Generation
Harvesting electricity directly from the best solar power plants in the world (photosynthetic plants)? Sound too good to be true? Well it may be a possibility in the near future, thanks to new research from the University of Georgia. Researchers there have developed a way to “interrupt” photosynthesis and redirect … [continued]
New Discovery Could Mean Making Fuel From CO2 In The Atmosphere
If we’ve learned anything from the totality of human history, it is that if we ever find anything in great enough abundance, we’ll try to use it for something that benefits us. One need only look at the coal deposits, forests, and oceans for proof of this. This instinctual human … [continued]
Next Generation of High Efficiency LED Lights Can Mimic Sunlight
The killer combination of ultra high efficiency with warm and fuzzy aesthetics is a bit closer to reality, as researchers at the University of Georgia are on the trail of a new LED (light emitting diode) light bulb that casts a soft white light instead of the characteristic cool blue. … [continued]
Sunflowers: A Fuel of the Future?
Sunflowers are already used for oil production and to make biodiesel— now scientists want to look into their viability as ethanol producers in the state of Georgia and beyond. Over the next few years, University of Georgia scholar Steve Knapp will study silverleaf and Algodones dune sunflowers, both of which … [continued]
