A 19th-century idea might lead to cleaner cars, larger-scale renewable energy. Some engineers are dusting off an old idea for storing energy—using electricity to liquefy air by cooling it down to nearly 200 °C below zero. When power is needed, the liquefied air is allowed to warm up and expand to drive a steam turbine and generator

HOUSEHOLDS have been left frustrated after paying thousands of pounds for solar panels on the promise of huge savings that have failed to materialise.

Even if summer is sizzling hot in the Philippines, it still means vacation time for most youth — that is, traveling to a distant place to go to the beach and bask under the sun. And for Energy Development Corp. (EDC), the pioneer in geothermal energy in the country, it is energy camp time once again

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management is favoring a scaled-back version of a wind farm in Mohave County. BP Wind Energy North America had proposed building 283 wind turbines on BLM and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation land that could produce up to 500 ...

Thanks to federal funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Haines City High School cut the ribbon on a SunSmart E-Shelter solar panel on Wednesday morning.

BURLINGTON (AP) — A familiar landmark on Burlington's riverfront soon will draw its power from the sun. The Hawk Eye reports the city's renewable energy and conservation advisory committee has a plan to install solar panels on the Port of Burlington, a $9,487 project that could move forward as soon as next month

In order to provide a solution to the intensifying energy crisis in Delhi and generate people's support for solar energy, Greenpeace on Sunday organised "Switch on the Sun" — a renewable energy community fair in association with Sukhdev Vihar (Pocket B) Residents Welfare Association. The fair, through exciting and interactive activities, informed participants about renewable energy and how

ST. PAUL — Major power companies in Minnesota are being prodded by the state Legislature to generate more electricity from the sun. The question is how much. The Senate passed a bill Friday mandating that investor-owned utilities use solar power for 1 percent of their customers’ needs by the end of 2025

When light from the sun is absorbed by the panel, the photovoltaic cell reacts in such a way that it creates an electric current that then is harnessed and distributed to homes. “It's simply the right thing to do,” said Bruce Giffin, general manager of Illinois Rural ...

By Pablo J. Sáinz A low-income family in San Diego will get a helping hand from the sun. The Martin family in Broadway Heights was one of 50 needy households that will receive solar installations at no cost as a result of a newly established partnership between GRID Alternatives and local business Sullivan Solar Power

Wind power is not free. All natural energy resources such as coal, wind and sun appear "free" - no one has to incur costs to create them. But turning a "free" resource into usable electricity costs money for collecting, generating and distributing that energy. To consumers and tax payers, the real cost of wind power is very high,

All were supporting bills that promote energy efficiency in the Commonwealth. Chris Derby Kilfoyle is president of solar company Berkshire Photovoltaic Services. He wants thermal energy producers that use the sun to heat water to be eligible for tax credits.

The sun provides the most abundant source of energy on the planet. However, only a tiny fraction of the solar radiation on Earth is converted into useful energy.
