Renewable energy

Climate Week might soon be over but there are several ways you can cut your carbon footprint, from changing up the way you travel to getting thrifty with leftovers and buying secondhand.

City leaders in Hot Springs, Arkansas, have decided to solely use renewable energy, but on the whole, the U.S. is still behind the EU in adopting alternative power sources.

The private and public sectors must work together to develop the breakthrough technologies needed for a clean energy transition. Putting a price on carbon is needed because demand drives innovation.

Each of the artificial islands would generate enough energy to power around 12 million homes, according to an international consortium.

Revelation Energy informed workers that the shutdown would last at least two weeks, and possibly longer.

The idea of discarding available wind or solar output is anathema, imposed on power producers when production from these sources exceeds what the grid can accept.

If rolled out globally, the islands could offset the total global emissions from fossil fuels.

Troy Billett is working to provide power and purify water around the world, one box and one village at a time.

"I think they'll give me a detention but it'll be worth it."

The president has repeatedly joked that TVs would cut out if the U.S. used wind as a source of renewable energy.

Scientists were able to electrolyze seawater for up to 1,000 hours and at the same current density used in industrial electrolyzers.

"These ill-informed statements show Trump's allegiance to the fossil fuel industry," one scientist told Newsweek.

Speaking to workers at a tank factory in Lima, Ohio, on Wednesday afternoon, Trump appeared to confuse wind turbines with windmills, and told the audience: "Hillary [Clinton] wanted to put windmills all over the place."

Scientists in China say harnessing solar power in space will provide an "inexhaustible source of clean energy."

The move is viewed as a political one, aimed at forcing rank-and-file Senate Democrats to take a stance on the proposed legislation.

The technique could potentially address two major issues that hit many less-affluent countries—poor sanitation and growing energy needs.

West Coast states lead the pack for most environmentally friendly cities in America.

While artificial photosynthesis techniques have been around for decades, they have not been adopted to produce renewable energy due to several drawbacks.

The network of homes will generate, store and feed energy back into the grid, helping solve the state's energy crisis.

The study solves a heated debate among physicists.

This is just the beginning of what we can do with waste.

If successful, the project would prove fusion power is feasible on a commercial scale—with the first fusion power plants expected by 2040.

Wind farms in Oklahoma, Iowa and South Dakota will help power Google's global operations.

Smart windows become tinted in the sunlight—which could have twofold benefits.

A new project to fill the 1,000-mile exclusion zone with solar panels is expected to be commissioned next month.

On the eve of the unveiling of the Tesla Truck, Elon Musk reveals his fears about the biggest threat to humanity.

The solar panels use tiny organisms to photosynthesize sunlight, converting it into energy.

A new generation of see-through solar cell technology could harvest energy from building and car windows as well as cell phones.

This wall isn't going to maintain itself. As a former renewables project cost analyst, I cannot support this proposal.

The Solutions Project is a super appealing proposal, albeit a bit fanciful.
