By Tyler Durden Almost nine years after the century’s worst nuclear crisis – which by some counts has eclipsed Chernobyl in total radioactive emissions – nearly a thousand storage tanks are scattered across the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, holding a staggering 1.1 million…
Over the last couple of decades, solar power has received a lot of attention from environmentalists. Not until fairly recently, however, have the mainstream media and average homeowners taken notice. Have you thought about whether it might be time for you to switch to solar…
Stanford researchers develop technology to harness energy from mixing of freshwater and seawater Salt is power. It might sound like alchemy, but the energy in places where salty ocean water and freshwater mingle could provide a massive source of renewable power. Stanford researchers have developed…
By Melinda Cafferty, Natural Blaze We’ve written before about the rise of unique solar power. Some of the new solar cells are even wearable. One of the reasons solar is such a boon is the freedom it allows people if they want to go “off-grid.” Whether it be…
By Jay Syrmopoulos Ogle’s creation would let any car get 100 miles per gallon – and he unveiled before the world While some people believe the story of American inventor Thomas Ogle is a myth or urban legend, the reality is that Ogle designed…
By Anna Hunt Imagine being able to turn your food waste into clean cooking gas and nutrient-rich fertilizer, while at the same time reducing potent greenhouse gases. This was the exact vision of Israeli-based HomeBiogas, which resulted in the creation of an affordable consumer appliance…
By Matt Agorist As governments scramble to tax their citizens into a greener world, research in the free market is proving to be the ultimate catalyst in a sustainable future. As governments pass legislation to prop up the fossil fuel industry, renewables are battling back…
By Tony Cartalucci, LocalOrg Fronts representing big-oil and big-auto are spearheading a widening PR campaign targeting electric car manufacturer and alternative energy company Tesla. Alternative energy company Tesla which includes US-based electric car development and production, battery production, and now also includes residential solar panel and battery…
By Heather Callaghan, Natural Blaze As greater interest in alternative and renewable energy grows, so do the numbers of people stepping up to innovate. We need better ways to provide energy that do not rely on vampiric energy companies that monopolize towns, jack up prices and…
By Lucy Clark, Natural Blaze Windmills are just one form of alternative energy production – but, they aren’t without their problems. One being how superincumbent they are on the rural landscape. Here is one that’s inspired by Mother Nature, and fits in nature. It’s a product of the…
By Josh Mur Scientists in Germany have opened doors in the realm of renewable energy and solar experimentation. Using a 50-foot structure and 149 industrial-grade spotlights, Kai Wieghardt and his team have created “Synlight,” the “world’s largest artificial sun.” The $3.8 million structure stands in…
By Amando Flavio Many countries in the world are struggling to deal with the garbage they generate. Especially in the developing world, it is common to find landfills full of garbage. These countries are unable to recycle their waste or use it for any useful thing….
By Vic Bishop Wind and solar power are gaining ground around the globe as viable and economically sound alternatives to fossil fuels and nuclear energy. In the U.S., solar power now employs more people than any other energy industry, including oil, natural gas, and coal combined,…
By Vic Bishop At a time when the fossil fuel industry dominates the world, and as we wait to see what the fallout will be from Fukushima and other nuclear plants that continue to age and contaminate surrounding areas, we need now, more than ever,…
By Organic and Healthy Recently a 13-year-old boy may have just cracked the next step in the evolution of solar energy. His idea is based on the Fibonacci sequence. It all started with trees… After realizing that branches were frequently displayed in a spiral, and…
By Whitney Webb Researchers at the University of Bristol have managed to transform radioactive graphite waste into efficient diamond batteries with a lifespan of over 5,000 years. Thanks to the work of UK scientists, diamonds may soon become much more than a luxury good. A…
By Marco Torres A new study has confirmed what many activists and environmental researchers have been stating for years. Hydroelectric power is not clean at all. In fact, Harvard University has found that over 90 percent of potential new hydroelectric projects will increase concentrations of…
By Pamela Bofferding Sure, there are plenty of alternatives to fossil fuels: most people have heard of solar cells, wind and battery power, but there are other energy options as well. Some of them are a few years away from being viable in the US, but…
