Category Archives: Solar EnergyFirst, man-kind was bedazzled to walk on the moon. Now, we could be flying on the sun; on the sun’s energy, that is. Think I’m crazy? Well, let me explain:
It simply does not make reasonable business sense, physics sense, or otherwise, to try and fly an airplane on solar power.
Not yet, anyhow.
With the [...]
Did you know that sometime in this remaining lifetime of yours you might find yourself driving a nuclear-powered car? ‘Tis true, ’tis true. You also might be driving a solar-powered, wind-powered, landfill-gas powered, hydroelectric powered, ocean-energy powered, coal, oil or natural gas-powered car. ‘Tis true, ’tis true.
As it stands the US gets about [...]
The dream of integrating solar power with building materials has been a source of wonder for decades, but aesthetics has been one of the biggest challenges, according to Anna Dyson, director of the Center for Architecture Science and Ecology, or CASE.
Most applications presented so far, according to Ms. Dyson,
“are pretty ugly and impede your [...]
In an age where employment is touch-and-go for most economies, the green jobs sector is growing faster than any other. A Pew Charitable Trusts report on the Clean Energy Economy counted 770,000 jobs in all 50 states that met the “double bottom line” of economic growth and environmental sustainability. Clean energy economy jobs grew by [...]
While the recession has slowed down the rapid rise of alternative energy technologies like solar,wind, wave and bio-fuels, the future still holds promise. The good news for homeowners and businesses is that the benefits of home solar power are not restricted to warm climate states. Gains are actually being seen in some of the least [...]
Solar powered manufacturing will, without a doubt, be a hot topic in the near future. Generating solar power to run modules, which provide cleaner electricity and cut electricity costs, is not the only resource that may be provided to us by the sun. Large photovoltaic arrays have been used in large business buildings, warehouses and [...]
No, we’re not going to suck ourselves into it. Don’t worry. The black hole only sucks light into it. Everything else is safe. The inventors, by the way, are Chinese.
While of course it’s very cool that humanity has succeeded in creating a black hole on Earth, the implications could be profound. If you [...]
I’m in a solar mood today. I often am. I really think it’s the future of the energy market, because, when it comes down to it, everything is solar powered. The sun is the Earth’s only source of energy, ultimately speaking.
With that in mind, let’s turn to Waterbury, Vermont, where Green Mountain Coffee Roasters just [...]
There’s more to the sun these days than just enjoying a beach outing or seeing a fantastic view from the Hubble telescope. The power of the sun, located 93 million miles from planet earth, is looking more and more like one of the main energy –and health sources that we on earth will be harnessing [...]
A company located in Denver Colorado has developed one of the most practical solar powered air conditioning systems made to date. Named the Coolerado, the device is manufactured in the mountain state where it was also developed by its originator Coolerado Corporation. Company CEO, Mike Luby, says that Coolerado is a
“portable completely environmental friendly [...]
