Protecting eagles: Researchers develop detection and deterrent system to reduce wildlife casualties from wind turbines

Wind turbines have been used to generate wind power, which is generally regarded as clean energy. However, wind turbines have killed numerous bats and birds, including golden eagles and bald eagles, which are federally protected species. Researchers have come up with a solution to minimize these deaths in a study published in Wind Energy. The researchers have set up […]

Scientists attempt to create a new generation of lithium-ion batteries that run on AIR

Ever since the discovery of the lithium-ion battery, it has greatly contributed to the development of portable electronics, and experts predict that it will soon be used in energy storage and electrically powered transportation. Despite these advancements, however, researchers are still looking to create a power source beyond lithium-ion batteries that they believe will be […]

The latest left-wing ecological insanity: Clear-cutting forests to burn the trees for “green” energy

In the interest of stopping “global warming,” government officials in the United Kingdom have partnered with companies and governments in the state of Virginia to hack down large swaths of southern hardwood forest in order to create “biomass” energy for use across the pond. Since continuing to burn native fossil fuels like coal won’t help […]

Reusing CO2: Scientists are closer to converting it to clean energy

Nature emits carbon dioxide (CO2) as part of many different natural processes. Plants are known to take them in as a necessary ingredient in photosynthesis, and it benefits the Earth in a lot of different ways, such as accelerating plant growth and food production. Although the planet’s CO2 levels are currently near record lows throughout […]

New “smart blade” technology will make wind turbines even more efficient

The Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems (Fraunhofer IWES) is testing a new rotor blade that incorporates bend-twist coupling (BTC) technology. Wind turbines equipped with the new blade can get the most out of fluctuating winds, reported an AlphaGalileo article. The German wind energy sector leads its European peers by a good margin. Germany operates more than 28,000 wind turbines, and […]

Clean energy is now the cheapest source of electricity, according to the open market

What’s stopping you from going forward on clean energy? If it’s the exorbitant prices, you may want to look at them again, as the open market has now decided that it has become a much cheaper source of electricity than other conventional methods. This is according to a report on a recent bidding process for […]

Scientists find improved approach for creating fuel from biowaste, making it a good substitute for fossil fuels

It seems like every day, researchers find yet another fossil fuel alternative. Not that anyone should be complaining. This time, a team of researchers from the University of Calgary have developed a method to produce a much higher quality and more stable fuel from biowaste, such as raw sewage, which is simpler and a lot […]

More green for green power: Investors are migrating from the fossil fuel industry toward alternative energy

Times are truly changing especially for green power. Renewable energy, once limited to off-the-grid energy sources which pale in comparison to traditional energy, is steadily gaining ground. In November last year, Norway, one of Europe’s largest oil producers, had announced that it is looking to divest its funding of international petroleum companies. The country’s own […]

Europe is ALL IN for renewable energy: They are planning to build an artificial island in the North Sea to support the world’s largest wind farm

By 2027, an artificial island in the North Sea could soon be providing renewable energy for at least 80 million individuals in Europe. Dubbed the “North Sea Wind Power Hub,” the artificial power island will house “a small team of permanent staff.” The island will send electricity via long-distance cables to Britain and the Netherlands, […]
