Big Cost of Green Energy Projects Jeopardise their Implementation Scores

Big Cost of Green Energy Projects Jeopardise their Implementation Scores

The government of The United States of America wants to create jobs by increasing energy efficiency in the average American home but is unwilling to increase consumers’ electricity bills by even the smallest percent through use of clean energy. A lot of projects in Florida, Idaho, Kentucky and Virginia that were in the process of developing [...]

Offshore Floating Poseidon to Generate Power from Waves and Wind

With pressing needs to develop clean and renewable energy resources with greater efficiency innovative hybrid power plants designs are being developed all over the world. The Danish Company Floating Power Plant is all set to exhibit the design of its prototype Poseidon 37 at Nordic Green II conference being held in Merino Park, California. Poseidon [...]
Spinning a new national record: Spain’s Windfarms produce 53% of total nation’s power over the weekend!

Spinning a new national record: Spain’s Windfarms produce 53% of total nation’s power over the weekend!

With those clamoring for greener energy options and cleaner energy sources constantly keeping their focus fixed on solar power, there is no doubt that wind energy has taken a back seat for sometime now. But with the help of creative new engineers who are altering the traditional perception of windmills and some help from Mother Nature herself, the Windfarm [...]
Alternative Energy: not necessarily the magic solution

Alternative Energy: not necessarily the magic solution

The current mantra is to ‘reduce greenhouse gas emissions more than 25 percent by 2020 — and more than 80 percent by 2050.’ While these attempts will curb our dependence on fossil fuels, doing ‘everything possible to promote alternative energy’ may also entail ‘financial, political, and technical pressures as well as time constraints [...]
Solar Impulse takes shape: First solar-powered plane to embark on a round the world voyage

Solar Impulse takes shape: First solar-powered plane to embark on a round the world voyage

It takes a brave man to conjure up and create a plane that flies across the globe only on solar power and it takes a set of bolder pilots to actually be willing to take this adventures wing span into upper altitude. Unveiled in Switzerland, Solar Impulse has set its aim on becoming the very first completely solar-powered flight to make a trip around [...]
Obama’s Upcoming Stringent Rules on Emissions and Mileage

US President Barack Obama will soon clamp down on those people who have been loosely generous with their automobile emissions and mileage standards. The rules will apply nationwide and will follow the standards being enacted in the state of California. Both the Bush government and the auto industry had rejected these stringent levels. Emulating the [...]
Carbon Cap-and-Trade: Prone to Circumvention

Carbon Cap-and-Trade: Prone to Circumvention

The basic premise in the move to tax or cap carbon emissions is the proposition of making dirty energy expensive. This is reactionary, of course. It is also not sustainable in the long run because it is punitive in nature. Anything punitive will only fall under the human ability to circumvent the rule – especially by incorrigible polluters and their [...]
