April 3, 2013, By J. Matthew Roney Even amid policy uncertainty in major wind power markets, wind developers still managed to set a new record for installations in 2012, with 44,000 megawatts of new wind capacity worldwide. With total capacity exceeding 280,000 megawatts, wind farms generate carbon-free electricity in more than 80 countries, 24 of which have at least 1,000 megawatts. At the European level of consumption, the world’s operating. . . CONTINUE

February 12, 2013, Cynthia Shahan, cleantechnica.com This bright news below brings the message that people are changing, things are changing. From a statement released in Brussels yesterday we find that the world’s cumulative solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity capacity surpassed 100 gigawatts (GW) in 2012, achieving just over 101 GW. This is according to new market figures from the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA). “A landmark year,” EPIA called it. Indeed!. . . CONTINUE
2013/01/10 By Dana Hull, Silicon Valley Mercury News California has hit a major milestone in renewable energy: State regulators reported Thursday that more than 1 gigawatt — or 1,000 megawatts — of solar power has been installed through the California Solar Initiative, which encourages homeowners, businesses, local governments and nonprofit organizations to install solar panels on their roofs. San Jose alone has installed 54.6 megawatts on homes and commercial buildings,. . . CONTINUE
May 22, 2012 at 12:08 pm Republicans blowing up military’s plans for alternative energy. Admiral Greenert wrote this week, saying attempts to obstruct the military’s transition to alternative fuels “will impede America’s energy security.” He referenced a May 16 statement from his superiors that lamented the [Republican] House provisions would affect the Department of Defense’s “ability to procure alternative fuels and would further increase American reliance on fossil fuels, thereby. . .

updated 07-30-2014 In the late 1920s, Lester J. Hendershot built his Hendershot Generator, largely through simple trial and error. He wove together a number of flat coils of wire, and placed stainless steel rings and sticks of carbon, and experimented with permanent magnets in various positions. To his surprise, the device actually produced current. The generator raised considerable attention at the time. “Fuelless Motor Impresses Experts” New York Times (Sunday,. . . CONTINUE
August 31st, 2011 After the damage caused by the Fukushima disaster, it only makes sense that Japan turn its resources to trying to find another efficient form of clean energy besides nuclear. Research into wind turbine development may have lead to a solution with stunning potential. Wind lenses, rings that go around the outside of a turbine’s blades, can double or even triple the turbine’s power output, bringing wind farms. . . CONTINUE
March 11, 2011, by Nathanael Baker A new industry report conducted by the Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research highlights record-breaking growth for the United States’ solar power industry in 2010. According to the U.S. Solar Market InsightTM: Year-In-Review 2010 [pdf], the industry’s total value grew 67% from US$3.6 billion to US$6.0 billion last year. This growth made solar the fastest growing sector of the energy industry, and a pace-setter. . . CONTINUE
