One Step Closer to Invisible Solar Cells in Our Windows
The company is known for its development of see-through solar cells (which we’ve talked about before), and this week it’s just a little closer to making its almost invisible solar cells […]
Commercial Solar Now Cost-Competitive in US
Editor’s note: the costs discussed below, of course, do not take into account the important health benefits and environmental benefits of using solar power instead of dirtier alternatives. Add those in, and we’ve got an even better solar cost situation. Of course, the Stanford researchers were looking at the … [continued]
Congress Still Hates Biofuel (For the Military)
The U.S. military is – perhaps unsurprisingly – one of the driving forces behind alternative fuel sources; after all, not being dependent on potentially hostile foreign countries for vital fuel is a matter of national security. However, in the short term, said alternative fuels are more expensive than standard fossil fuels, and that creates a few problems. […]
1.21 Gigawatts!
New Local Solar Policy, Not DeLorean, Moving U.S. to Cleaner Future In the past five years, a new U.S. renewable energy policy has quietly grown more popular, enabling enough solar power (1.21 gigawatts!) to send Michael J. Fox “Back to the Future.” CLEAN programs – Clean Local Energy Accessible Now … [continued]
Top Solar Power Countries (Per Capita, Per GDP, Per TWh of Electricity Produced, & in…
What are the top countries in the world for new and total installed solar power? Or for solar power per capita? Or per GDP? Or per electricity production? Check out this post for the answers. […]
Top Wind Power Countries Relative to Electricity Production (CleanTechnica Exclusive)
Closing out this series (I think), below are the top countries in the world* for wind power capacity relative to electricity production**. In other words, these are the countries that have the most wind power compared to their electricity production. This post follows posts on top wind power countries … [continued]
Top Wind Power Countries Per GDP (CleanTechnica Exclusive)
Following up on my post yesterday presenting the top countries in the world for total installed wind power (end of 2011) and newly installed wind power (2011) per capita, below are charts and lists on the top countries* in the world for total installed wind power per GDP and … [continued]
Top Wind Power Countries Per Capita (CleanTechnica Exclusive)
What are the top countries in the world for wind power, per capita? Take a look below! I’ve been meaning to get to this for awhile, but hopefully that means the data have just gotten better since I first intended to put this together. The Global Wind Energy Council … [continued]
Why Tariffs on Chinese Photovoltaics Could Be Bad for the Planet
David Biello over at Scientific American has taken the time to explain why he thinks the recent decision to place tariffs on Chinese photovoltaics is a bad idea, and not just for America. We’ve already covered the decision here at Cleantechnia over the past week, Andrew detailing the Commerce … [continued]
