Cutting spread of disease from mosquitos off at their source

By V Marquez|2025-01-01T09:59:36-06:00March 12th, 2018|

Stagnant water is a magnet for mosquitos. It provides the perfect place for them to lay their eggs and spawn a new generation to terrorize us with their biting, itching, disease-carrying, menace. Fortunately, according to Wired magazine, Pranav Agarwal has developed the Solar Scare Mosquito, a solar powered device that aerates the surface of stagnant water. This helps prevent the proliferation of the mosquito population. Female mosquitos need the surface

A great year for renewable energy in Australia

By V Marquez|2019-08-05T15:21:46-05:00January 22nd, 2018|

2017 is being hailed as a significant milestone for the climate challenge. However, it hasn’t been all good news. Carbon emissions have increased globally and in Australia, but the mission to avoid dangerous climate change through renewable energy no longer appears completely hopeless. Global Push-back Against Coal Many Australians continue to lose hope as coal remains a hot topic mainstream media. After all, many still remember Scott Morrison, the federal treasurer, holding up

UK Renters Face £1bn in Extra Energy Costs Because of a Landlord Exemption Loophole

By V Marquez|2025-09-08T14:22:29-05:00December 6th, 2017|

Tenants across the United Kingdom are on track to pay as much as £1 billion more for energy than they should, according to campaigners. The culprit, they say, isn’t a lack of policy but a gap within it: a landlord exemption that risks blunting new rules meant to tackle poorly insulated homes. A Step Forward—with a Catch Starting next April, regulations are intended to stop landlords from ignoring inadequate

Project Sunroof Maps Roofs With Solar Potential

By V Marquez|2019-08-05T15:21:47-05:00March 22nd, 2017|

Ever wonder if the benefits of installing solar panels will outweigh the costs? Curious as to how much solar exposure those panels would even get on your roof? Google’s latest sun map, Project Sunroof, looks to answer those exact questions for solar proponents. The endeavor comes as a part of Google’s commitment to renewable energy. It’s been very public with its plans to be entirely carbon neutral from here on

Portugal Ran on Renewable Resources for a Week

By V Marquez|2025-01-01T10:00:13-06:00January 3rd, 2017|

Little appears to have changed in the valleys of north-eastern Portugal for decades, perhaps even centuries. That is, if you can keep your gaze off the hilltops. Also, imagine away the pylons and forget the occasional tractor of an uncertain vintage coughing along the narrow roads. But look up, past the villages, the clumps of stout ponies and the wolf-haunted forests of pine, oak and eucalyptus, and the harbingers of a

US solar sector small but growing

By V Marquez|2025-09-08T14:33:42-05:00December 20th, 2013|

Although solar currently supplies only a sliver of U.S. energy, momentum is building. Falling panel prices, wider adoption by major corporations, and options that let homeowners lease or “rent” systems are all helping push the market forward. Analysts project exceptional growth over the next twenty years, building on recent surges—installations rose about 60% in 2012 and climbed another ~30% the following year.

Solar-Powered Battery Woven Into Fabric Overcomes Hurdle for ‘Wearable Electronics’

By V Marquez|2025-09-08T14:31:43-05:00December 5th, 2013|

Smartphones may feel glued to our hands, but the next leap in convenience could be power that moves with us—built right into what we wear. Think jacket fibers that harvest sunlight or a watchband that tops up on a stroll. Researchers outline a new approach to flexible, fabric-integrated rechargeable batteries in a paper in the ACS journal Nano Letters, pointing to a future where wearables spend less time tied

Renewables Provide 99% of All New US Electrical Generating Capacity in October

By V Marquez|2025-09-08T14:36:15-05:00November 25th, 2013|

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Office of Energy Projects reports that in October 2013, almost all newly added U.S. power capacity came from renewables. Solar, biomass, and wind projects together brought 694 MW online—99.3% of the 699 MW installed that month—while oil-fired generation contributed the remaining 5 MW. Breaking it down: twelve solar facilities accounted for 504 MW (72.1% of new capacity), four biomass projects added 124 MW (17.7%),
