The Dark Side of Renewable Energy: Negative Impacts of Renewables on the Environment
What scientists, engineers, companies, and nations expanding their power capacities need to focus on, is implementing solutions that keep negative impacts of renewables in check.
The Solar Industry Is a Friend, Not a Frenemy
Fossil-fuel industries are boom and bust. Renewables don't have to be.
Everything is Bigger in Texas - or not:
The State of the Texas Solar and Electricity Markets
Today, Texas only has 200 MW of solar capacity, less than New Jersey, Massachusetts, and a handful of other states.
10 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Solar Installer
Going solar should be a great experience - not a headache, and doing your homework upfront will give you something money can't buy - peace of mind.
Energy Sources in a Disaster
Businesses need to invest in back-up renewable power systems to insure that they can continue working during and after a disaster. With such installations, businesses can prevent interruption losses caused by grid failure.
White Lists: A Proactive Approach to Risk Reduction for the Bioenergy Industry
As more species and cultivars are proposed to help meet the substantial renewable energy needs of our nation, more risk assessments will be necessary to identify the truly green renewable alternatives to petroleum-based energy sources.
6 Reasons Why Energy Efficiency Programs Fail
Amongst the numerous measures the world has taken to wean itself off the fossil fuels, only a few have been successful in making the businesses, homes and vehicles more energy efficient. Various psychological and financial barriers have kept governments and organizations from realizing the actual potential of energy efficiency programs.
China Might Be Winning The Race To Reduce Solar Costs
Command economies may be terrible at some things but when the rapid marshalling of resources is needed to solve a problem they can be very good at doing whatever it takes.
How battery technology can contribute to realize sustainability of electricity storage?
We can avoid hazardous materials by using the sodium-ion battery and I believe that the higher performance stationary sodium-ion batteries will provide abundant energy without relying on expensive and hazardous chemicals
Why Oil Industry Estimates for Energy Reserves Can Be an X-File
Hopefully, we won't have to deal constantly with misinformation like Mulder and Scully had to when jousting with their malevolent arch-nemesis, the Cigarette Smoking Man. However, be prepared to do some digging to get at the facts.
Harmonising our Energy and Societal Needs
While promoting the implementation of green areas, we nevertheless have to pay focused attention to not only going green for its own sake, but also to promote a future trend where ecology meets sustainability.
Carbon Capture and Sequestration: Is It A Viable Technology?
In a world committed to reducing carbon emissions CCS offers a helping hand but not a definitive one. It may offer a partial answer for the rest of this century, but governments are unlikely to provide the needed funds for large-scale deployment.
Renewable Energy Vital for First Nation and Remote Communities
Some First Nation communities have initiated solar and wind power and mini hydroelectric initiatives but more needs to be done to ensure that all remote communities have access to clean and affordable energy.
Extreme Energy, Extreme Implications
If oil and gas is a profoundly dynamic phenomenon, then so too must be environmental risk and conflicts over natural resources—and we are not getting the full picture from the mainstream media, according to Michael T. Klare, professor of peace and world security studies at Hampshire College
Solar Industry Needs to Accelerate Growth to Impact Climate Change
We need to do what has been done many times before in human history at key tipping points - embrace change and do what must be done - move strongly toward a renewable and sustainable energy future. It is, in my opinion, the fastest, best and the cheapest way to get there.
