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 [...]

A yacht being powered by the wind energy is nothing new and would rarely make anyone arouse their interest in such a vessel. However, International Battery and Electric Marine Propulsion have now joined hands to introduce an all new wind powered yacht, that is sure to make a lot of heads turn. One of the primary factors that make this yacht so unique [...]

In the past couple of years, the trend to ‘Go Green’ has intensified and captured the imagination of innovators and companies alike, to design and develop more environment friendly products and vehicles to help conserve the deteriorating environment conditions. Now, Louis Palmer, the man who completed the trip across the globe in a solar powered [...]

Wind energy is one of the most popular of alternative energies because it is seen as renewable and, thus, sustainable. On the surface, energy generated from the wind seems to help delay the impending climate crisis. After all, records show that wind energy ‘saves the emission of nearly 68,000 tons of carbon dioxide, 600 tons of sulphur dioxide, and [...]

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 [...]

Cleantech depends on energy policy. US President Obama deals with two core climate issues: meeting the larger goal of reducing carbon emissions, and finding a way of rescuing the renewables industry from Wall Street’s collapse. The benchmark of 450 ppm is a crucial figure issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. ‘Limiting concentration [...]

It is widely believed by every eco-expert across the globe that fuel cell technology and one that can convert water into hydrogen and use it as a stable fuel, is where the future of green and clean technology lies. With the world running out of fossil fuel at an alarming rate and the efficiency of both wind and solar energy increasing in a trickle, [...]

Green construction and eco-architecture is where the future lies for any budding architect, who is busy drawing up those rough sketches. Modern building techniques along with the use of revolutionary new materials has meant that today we can give shape to structures that are both planet-friendly and maximize on available space and resources. Created [...]
