The U.S. Department of Energy has announced that it has broken ground on the Generation 3 Particle Pilot Plant (G3P3), a concentrating solar-thermal pilot project, at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The project will showcase concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) technology, which could be useful for various clean energy purposes, from producing power to […]
As the world transitions to electric vehicles (EVs), what should happen to all the gas guzzlers that will remain on the roads?
The European Parliament on Tuesday approved a ban on the sale of new fossil fuel powered cars and light vehicles by 2035.

New York state could be getting a new wind turbine component factory that would create around 420 jobs and pour around $500 million into the region.
Back in 2010, the Federal Aviation Administration released a study that suggested that airports are an ideal location for solar panels, stating that: Solar technology has matured and is now a reliable way to reduce airport operating costs. Environmentally, solar energy shows a commitment to environmental stewardship, especially when the panels are visible to the […]
In order to limit global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis, we need to lower greenhouse gas emissions by 43 percent by 2030. Yet the climate plans of 24 major companies that paint themselves as environmental leaders would only see their supply chain emissions […]
A new 293 megawatt solar farm in Pueblo, Colorado offers more than meets the eye. In addition to generating clean energy, the site also serves as a carbon sink and a habitat preservation and restoration project for local prairielands. The Sun Mountain Solar project, led by Lightsource bp (owned by BP) and Xcel Energy, has […]
Offshore wind opponents along the Eastern Seaboard are weaponizing disinformation about whale strandings in service of their long-held political positions against offshore wind energy. Raising issues around the environmental impacts of clean energy is a common tactic of clean energy opponents, and the anti-wind claims come as social media companies (beyond just Twitter) are cutting […]
