Throughout history, American innovation and entrepreneurship have prompted some of the world’s greatest advances. Transcontinental railroads and highways, the space program and the internet each created new markets and opportunities, bringing prosperity to millions. The Wright brothers, Thomas Edison and countless other heroes of American ingenuity have changed the lives of American families for the better.

A while back I wrote a post on the need to get India’s solar boom right. I wrote it because it was obvious that solar energy was primed to take off in India and it was clear there were two paths the country could take — distribute that boom to benefit the 300 million people still waiting for the grid, or forcibly centralize a resource that is most effective when distributed

Before the solar power grid was completed, the New Zealand-administered grouping of three coral atolls, with a population of just 1,500, relied on diesel generators for electricity.

If you’re interested in renewable energy, you’ve probably heard the term wind-solar hybrid before and wondered what that really meant. On the surface, its pretty straight forward; it’s a renewable energy system, generally small, designed to provide power for your home or small business.

An Enphase microinverter Traditionally, photovoltaic arrays have been arranged in series of strings, with one or two centralized inverters changing the module’s DC electricity to AC electricity.

Sunverge battery backup could help in situations like SandyWeeks after subtropical storm Sandy ravaged the northeast coast, the hundreds of thousands still without power were asking if solar could be a solution.

Austrian manufacturer MagnaSteyr has adapted technology developed for the Ariane rocket to build clean-burning cars that can use hydrogen instead of petrol for fuel.

Không bỏ vốn đầu tư thiết bị tiết kiệm năng lượng (TKNL) nhưng khách sạn Legend (TP Hồ Chí Minh) có thể tiết kiệm được khoảng 100 nghìn USD/năm từ chi phí TKNL. Bên cạnh đó, dự án còn giúp tiết giảm được 700 tấn CO2. Khoản tiết giảm CO2 này cũng có thể mang lại lợi ích kinh tế vì sẽ được Chính phủ Nhật Bản mua lại.

Located in the tropics, Vietnam still cannot take full advantage of its sun and wind resources to generate electricity. This has been attributed to the unreasonable mechanism which is unattractive to investors.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will continue to closely cooperate with and assist Vietnam in the field of its charge, especially nuclear safety and security.

"Viet Nam has huge potentials for green and renewable energy, including solar, wind, biomass and hydropower to replace traditional ones," said Nguyen Duc Cuong, head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT)'s Energy Institute's Renewable Energy and Clean Development Mechanisms Centre.

The government has given the green light on a 300 million USD solar panel manufacturing plant in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue.

Vietnam and Denmark have pledged to work hand-in-hand on the advancement of indoor energies, under an agreement signed on November 7 in Hanoi.

It may seem as though the German plains are all but tapped out when it comes to wind energy production. To refute this theory researchers are sending stunt kites into the skies to harness the wind and convert the kinetic energy generated into electricity.

The world's largest offshore wind farm has delivered its first power to the grid, marking a major milestone for the flagship project in the Thames Estuary.

It doesn’t look like much. In fact, you could say Columbia Island is a concrete slab of an eyesore in the Long Island Sound off the coast of New Rochelle, N.Y. But soon it will be a 6,000-square-foot residence that’s off the grid and self-powered by solar and a solar storage system.

London of late has been rolling in the electric car news. The goal in that major European city of lowering its carbon emissions from greener vehicles is well under way through efforts like brand new all-electric taxi fleets and increased electric vehicle usage at nearby Heathrow airport. Now comes word of free electric vehicle charging points being offered as part of a trial to better understand the impact of EV use on the electricity network.

Vestas, the world’s biggest wind turbine manufacturer, and other Danish businesses will seek opportunities to boost cooperation with Vietnam in the fields of economics, trade and wind energy.

The Finance Ministry and the European Investment Bank (EIB) on October 31 signed an agreement for a 150 million EUR loan to help Vietnam in mitigating impacts of climate change.

A wind generation facility that its producer, Pattern Energy, calls the largest wind generation facility in the Caribbean began producing energy on the island of Puerto Rico Oct. 28.
