Read MoreAccording to a press release, Apple is collaborating with 10 other suppliers to jointly invest $300 million over the next four years in China in order to ramp up clean energy within the country. “The China Clean Energy Fund” is expected to be responsible for generating more than 1 gigawatt of renewable energy in the […]
Read MoreResearchers from Tokomak Energy in the U.K. are claiming a new milestone in thermonuclear fusion. They were able to achieve plasma temperatures in a fusion reactor, known as the ST40 device, hotter than the sun’s core for the first time — reaching 15 million degrees Celsius (59 million degrees Fahrenheit). It’s a big achievement and […]
Read MoreRussia recently launched the world’s first floating nuclear power plant out of the St. Petersburg shipyard. Known as Akademik Lomonosov, this floating nuclear reactor is moving toward Western Europe for a controversial maiden voyage. The plant will be towed through the Baltic Sea to a base in Murmansk, a port town in northwest Russia. After arriving […]
Read MoreCalifornia is doing what appears to be an inevitability for many places in the future, however is making a bit of history in the process. The state is all set to become the first ever to require solar panels on all newly built single-family houses, which once passed by California’s Energy Commission will go into […]
Read MoreWater is one of the most basic needs of life, yet billions of people around the world don’t have access to clean drinking water. Although major shortages occur in developing nations, developed countries also face unanticipated water shortages, especially after natural disasters that can disrupt supplies without warning. But in a recent tech breakthrough, a […]
Read MoreNumerous advances in solar cells have made them very efficient. But they’re still pretty much useless in rainy weather. In a big breakthrough, a team of Chinese engineers has created a new hybrid solar panel that can generate energy even from raindrops. Now solar panels can harvest energy from the movement of raindrops on its […]
Read MoreTesla’s Supercharger network is expanding across the country but not without a cost. The company has quietly raised prices per kilowatt hour for using the fast-charging stations at an average increase for pay-per-use customers ranging from approximately 20 to 40 percent, according to Electrek. The price has actually doubled from 12 cents to 24 cents in Oregon […]
Read MoreA team of researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia has developed a device to generate electricity from the Earth by turning excess infrared radiation and waste heat through quantum tunneling. Quantum tunneling is a phenomenon that occurs when particles move through a barrier that should be impossible to move through, […]
Read MoreConsidering the many problems associated with air pollution and the fact of worldwide climate change, electric cars give us the hope of building a cleaner and greener future. However, present battery technology, which requires frequent time-consuming recharging, and the lack of well-distributed charging stations combine to make electric cars less preferable. But things are going […]
Read MoreGreenhouses have a variety of applications, but they consume a lot of energy to grow our food. Temperature, lighting, and other systems are powered by electricity. To remedy this, researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz, have developed new electricity-generating solar greenhouses that make use of the same energy that grows the plants. This […]
Read MoreElon Musk made good on his promise of delivering the world’s largest lithium-ion battery to South Australia. Now, regardless of what the wind is doing on a day-to-day basis, clean wind energy can be provided to the grid 24/7, thanks to the 100MW battery farm. The South Australian Government says the farm, which has enough […]
Read MoreGiven the pace at which the renewable energy sector is rising, it is believed that the fossil fuel industry’s days are numbered. Companies are spending billions of dollars in the solar industry and thousands of people are getting work in this area. There are three major hurdles for the solar industry: the costs involved, efficiency, […]
Read MoreScientists have discovered a powerful weapon in the fight against global warming. The world’s first negative emissions power plant has opened in Iceland. With the vital issue of global warming in mind, Iceland has gone beyond zero by developing a power plant that actually removes CO2 from the atmosphere. World’s first power plant that eliminates more CO2 than it produces Researchers at the Swiss […]
Read MorePuerto Rico is still suffering from the devastation that occurred as a result of Hurricane Maria. Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk is doing his part in working to rebuild the country’s power grid, starting with Puerto Rico’s Hospital del Niño. Yesterday, Tesla tweeted out some of the progress the company has made utilizing its Powerwall batteries, […]
Read MoreThe International Trade Commission has determined that American companies are being negatively affected by importing cheap solar panels from overseas. It remains to be seen what the ruling means for the future of America’s $29 billion solar industry, which has taken off in recent years, but many in the space fear solar energy becoming more […]
Read MoreOur inefficient buildings consume more than 40 percent of the electricity generated across the globe. To generate electricity through a building’s architecture, Tesla created solar tiles last year. Now, a team of researchers from the University of Exeter in the U.K. have created an innovative type of glass block designed to collect solar power and […]
Read MoreOn Monday, millions of Americans put on their glasses (hopefully) and took in a rare total eclipse. While 14 states were in the dark for a couple of minutes as the moon covered the sun, the power grid in the United States was put to the test. This was especially true in California where roughly […]
