SOLAR SERDAR – POWER SUPPLIER
“The sun and its enormous power will play a decisive role for future energy production.” You would not expect such words from Wulf Bernotat, the boss of major German energy supplier Eon. Until now, he has stuck up for nuclear and carbon energy above all, but not for solar energy which has not been considered profitable. In the meantime, the energy manager has changed his mind: In June, Eon commissioned its first solar park with five megawatt capacity in the South Fr… Continue

There are so many definitions of what a green job is, that it's now getting to the point where it's difficult to know what a green job is. And the difficulty is increased by the lack of clear and agreed upon definitions of a green company and the categories of green products or services (is nuclear clean? is "clean coal" really clean?).
So to add to the confusion, I'll add my 2 cents to the discussion. A green job is:
A job at an association or non-profit engaged in enviro

The EIA is the official source of U.S. government statistics on energy. As its Web site boasts, it "provides policy-neutral data, forecasts, and analyses to promote sound policy making, efficient markets, and public understanding regarding energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment."
It is not a partisan organization and its record is impeccable.
When Bloom Energy brought the "Bloom Box" out of the closet last night they opened the door to an unbeleavable possibility. Now we need to start planning the wedding. When we start using this in concert with Wind, Solar and Geothermal It has to eventually take scary nuclear, dirty coal and slimy pertolium off the table. They left a confusing question unanswered about how to use Solar in a partnership with their fuel cell, but if you think about it it makes perfect sense. Use the Solar array t
At TED2010, Bill Gates unveils his vision for the world's energy future, describing the need for "miracles" to avoid planetary catastrophe and explaining why he's backing a dramatically different type of nuclear reactor. The necessary goal? Zero carbon emissions globally by 2050.
In the last few years the globe is facing with three big problems, beginning from the global warming, energy crisis and the last one economical crisis. Whole the world without trying to hide that we all are in crisis is investing all of their
potential for finding the solutions on this three

After 7+ years sucking gas trying for funding, Focus Fusion got proof-of-concept funding late last year. The experimental cell rig is now up, and the scientists are now chasing down a glitch in the trigger mechanism that has slightly delayed first light (initial trial "shot" using deuterium). The design is a very compact plasma focus device, about the size of a hand with fingers upright, that pulses to produce microscopic "plasmoids" which collapse magnetically, producing a few nanoseconds of bi… Continue
