A call for a revolution in how we use energy is overdue.  But the "real" revolution will come when we learn as a society how to harvest it, not mine it.  That means going with renewables and efficiency, not traditional nuclear and fossil fuel systems that are just more of the same, and more...

The reasons why Big Oil does not invest significantly (say, 10% or more of their revenues) in solar and wind power is not conspiratorial.  It is more in the cultural makeup of an organization that is used to doing business largely one way (selling a consumable item) versus one that lasts a long...

The annual US Department of Energy report on wind power spells out details on the American achievement of 5,329 megawatts (MW) of capacity in 2007, the largest increase of any one country, and placing the US ahead of Spain and behind Germany in the Number 2 slot.  The report, issued by Lawrence...

Ersol, a small, medium priced photovoltaic manufacturer, has been acquired by the German auto giant Bosch Group.  This acquisition will be good for both parties, giving ersol deep pockets and enabling Bosch to combine photovoltaic system with its solar thermal business.  One interesting question...

The announcement of another high tech business in California getting a photovoltaic system is becoming old news.  What is more significant of this event are different financing instruments for photovoltaic systems making their way into the American market, and mindset.  A medium sized installation...

Renewable energy has been a step child in the US Department of Energy's household.  Research and development has never been generous or consistent, and the expected contributions of renewable energy to American needs have been treated like a petting zoo on the way to the lions and tigers of fossil...

The announcement by Suntech of a huge building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) project in France may be a sign that the PV maker's acquisition of MSK has gone smoothly.  It also shows the potential of the French PV market and the BIPV market as a whole.  It will be an interesting competition...

More people are familiar with the thousands of utility scale wind wind turbines that dot the American landscape as well as over 1-1/2 million solar electric and heating installations on buildings.  But another green power sight, small-scale wind, is starting to show up in the suburban and urban...

Maybe it's the 2008 Presidential campaign and its "silly season" that makes one looks askance at a report that somehow makes cleaner air a "bad thing" due to "unintended consequences".   Assuming that this is not a call to return to unbreathable air, the issue might be to look at environmental...

As wind power and other renewable energy sources become more prominent, their visibility can make them vulnerable to criticism when something in the grid goes wrong and they are anywhere near it.  Wind power developers and manufacturers have to be as cognizant of communication to the public as...
