After the promise of the Fall elections of 2006, the hope of extending and/or increasing solar energy incentives in 2007 appear to be dim.  The threat of Presidential veto as well as Congressional infighting may mean eleventh hour legislation some  time n 2008, or possibly not at all. ...

Wind power continues to become a more significant generating factor in Europe.  While global attention is focused on European southern and offshore markets, and growing concern about the continuance of U.S. incentives, the Eastern European market may become an important growth factor...

Solar energy system markets, especially small-scale ones, are perceived not to grow faster because of poor "payback" or higher generating cost against centralized, polluting plants.  The real issue may be affordability in financing, like for homes, cars and furniture sets.  Financing...

While the new construction residential market sinks, some pockets are proving remarkably resilient.  One of these pockets are "green" homes, especially those built with solar energy systems.  This featured California development may be tool to prevent developers and builders from becoming...

Federal legislation that would continue to benefit solar, wind and other forms of renewable energy started out with high hopes in 2007.  But as the year draws to an end, a final bill is not ready for passage or Presidential signature.  Partisanship may drag passage well into 2008, possibly...

There will soon be thousands of megawatts (MW) of wind and solar generated power generated in Southern California, with the potential of tens of thousands of MW.  That potential will not be achieved until transmission infrastructure is built, and a way to finance that construction is established. ...

Solar thermal energy systems for domestic hot water, space and some process heating is a cost-effective, if relatively unglamorous technology.  In spite of being ubiquitous in countries like China, Israel, Turkey and Cyprus, it remains in the shadows of photovoltaic and concentrated solar power. ...

The success of the wind power industry has lead to tightness in supply, especially in turbines.  The accompanying article by an industry leader shows the problem becoming more pronounced and longer term.  This may be bad news for addressing energy security and pollution, but good news for...

The intermittent limitations of wind power will be addressed by a variety of storage technologies that will make the power source dispatchable and increase its value.  One of these advanced storage technologies is being implemented, surprisingly enough, by a seemingly stodgy, coal-based Midwest...

The offshore wind market has great market potential of huge turbines generating higher yields of electricity against a more hostile environment.  Europe has taken the lead with numerous shallow-water projects and plans for deeper-water installations.  In the United States, the first project,...
