A group of designers thinks the way to combat NIMBY attitudes about transmission towers is to make them look like giant people. And Crayola commemorates a solar plant behind its headquarters with a new shade of — what else could it be? — green to add some color to the occasion. |
|

A transparent polymer sticker applied to solar panels can increase energy output by 10%, according to the product's manufacturer. But there's a catch: How long will it last? |
|
| |
A new solar canopy charging station in Portland, Oregon, can charge your EV, your electric bike and most personal electronics. And a North Carolina company is introducing a new location for generating solar energy: carports. |
|
| |
Nevada and Sicily, Italy may not have much in common, but both will be firing up solar thermal plants incorporating molten salt to store the solar energy created. |
|
| |
Much has been made of the amounts of money invested worldwide in renewables and biofuels, but the truth of the matter is it's pocket change compared to what's being spent to support fossil fuels, according to new research from Bloomberg New Energy Finance. |
|
| |
The EPA's Green Power Partnership will host a webinar Thursday, July 29, on a new national wind program designed to allow companies that use a large amount of power to buy renewable energy in a financially neutral way. |

The market value of electricity generated from biomass is expected to reach $53 billion by 2020, well above the roughly $45 billion in 2010. That’s according to a new Pike Research report. |
|
| |
California solar industry associations have called for the implementation of feed-in tariffs to help speed growth in solar and other renewables. The consensus from the associations is that feed-in tariff policies for U.S. renewables are long overdue. |
|
| |
AT&T has agreed to offer Petra Solar's interactive solar electric systems which incorporate solar power generation and Smart Grid technology in one system. The offering will allow utilities to meet Renewable Portfolio Standards while investing in Smart Grid technologies. |
|
| |
Alternative energy company Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies has won a contract to engineer and implement production tooling for a solar photovoltaic roof module for the Fisker Karma, a high performance plug-in hybrid luxury sedan. |
|
| |
Wind energy projects have been stalled or derailed by a lack of transmission capacity, but a new report says it's not always necessary to build new transmission lines. Instead, existing technologies can increase capacity with little or no change to existing transmission systems. |
|
| |
Marine and hydrokinetic technologies (ocean waves and currents, tides and rivers) are getting more attention (and money) than ever before. But how likely is it that we'll see them pumping out power in the foreseeable future? |
|
| |
Conditional commitments for almost $2 billion in Recovery Act funded loan guarantees have been offered to two advanced solar technologies projects, one to produce thin film solar panels and the other to build and operate a concentrating solar power plant. |
|
| |
As big names like GE and John Deere announce new investments in wind farms, research from Frost & Sullivan suggests it’s the more reliable and predictable wave industry that’s going to see tremendous growth – as in market potential of $1 trillion worldwide. |
|
| |
A lawsuit has been filed in federal district court alleging that the country's first offshore wind farm would severely harm protected migratory birds and that whales also could be affected. The 130-turbine Cape Wind project proposed for Nantucket Sound won federal approval in late April after almost 10 years of wrangling. |
|

The Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory and plastic solar panel manufacturer Solarmer Energy will cooperate on research and development to extend the lifetime of plastic solar cells. The hope is that eventually plastic cells can be made cheaply enough and in high enough volumes that solar electricity costs will match the costs of conventionally-produced electricity. |
|
| |
DOE has selected 20 communities and local organizations to receive a total of $60 million in Recovery Act funds for local energy efficiency and renewable energy programs to reduce energy consumption by homes, businesses and vehicles. |
|

Concerns that a shortage of the rare earth metals essential to many Smart Grid technologies like the magnets in wind turbines and hybrid cars may become reality sooner than expected. A PBS News Hour report notes that China, provider of almost all of the world's rare earth supplies, may decide to keep its rare earth resources for its own use leaving the rest of the world without. |
|
| |
Lockheed Martin is developing a design for an Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion system that could generate electricity from the difference in temperature of warm surface ocean water and the colder water below. |
|
| |
The Interior Department and the governors of 10 Atlantic coast states have signed an agreement to coordinate and expedite efficient and responsible development of offshore wind resources on the Outer Continental Shelf. |
