Europeans are different from Americans in their tendency to avoid bluster and defiant guzzling in the face of an energy crisis.  Rather, they negotiate while developing more serious alternatives, especially in renewable energy.  One of those alternatives, solar thermal, has been flying under...

Texas is the number one wind power state in the US.  Its present inventory of over 3,000 MW can grow exponentially if there were major transmission access to the wind-rich West Panhandle.  The announcement by an FPL Energy unit could make this a near term reality.

The latest Roper poll shows that American want solar systems on new homes by an overwhelming margin.  But what is the realistic market to be expected when it comes time to actually sell a solar home?  And what are the steps necessary to achieve this market?

Solar photovoltaic needs to decline in price, while not doing such so drastically as to affect profitability.  One gauge of price watching, the Solarbuzz index, shows that US prices may have joined the Europeans in panels getting cheaper, although at a slow rate.

Sooner or later, market forces will have its effect, if allowed to work.  This is so even for the American love (or is becoming love-hate?) affair with driving more and more miles.  Is the leveling milage of American vehicle driving a blip or the start of a long term trend?

The growth rate of the global wind power market has slowly declined as the industry gets larger.  Europe, the first market, is already running low on land-based sites in the northern part of the continent.  New territories like deep water offshore sites are needed to continue industrial...

North and South Dakota have enormous wind power potential, which has not realized due to passive state policy and transmission issues.  But that may be changing with Xcel's announcement of developing a 200 Megawatt wind farm in North Dakota.

The battle over the Cape Wind offshore project is in the hands of a federal agency more used to dealing with mines than turbines.  How the environmental impact statement is handled, as well as the timeliness of federal policy renewal and extension, will impact not only Cape Wind, but the US offshore...

The boom in photovoltaic's will come from superior marketing and supply chain management, as much as technically great products.  Open Energy may have both as they enter into an agreement with a second major roofing company that will give them access to a potentially large market of residential...

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Annual Green Power Program Report shows increasing maturity in the size and cost-effectiveness of nonpolluting, renewable electricity offerings to end users who can't or don't want to place solar panels or wind turbines on their properties.  Greater market...
