An analysis of the engineering and economics for a solar water-heating system shows it to have a payback period of just two years, according to researchers in India. They report, in the International Journal of Global Energy Issues, on the success of the 1000-liter system operating at a university hostel.
When we recently ran an article about ideas on ways to cool the planet, we were swamped with emails from people who were impassioned in their belief that global warming is a myth. It was striking that so many people held views at odds with what is apparently the consensus among climate scientists, as well as policy makers.
India plans to announce increased subsidies for solar-power generation, a senior government official said, as the country looks to scale up production of renewable energy and show it is committed to mitigating climate change.
An acknowledgment by the world’s biggest governments that they won’t reach a climate-change agreement by next month underscores the political challenges of negotiating such a deal — and raises questions about when they might do so.
Officials on Friday unveiled in Jonesville the county’s second Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-approved fire rescue station, replacing the area’s previous station, which was operating out of a double-wide mobile home.
Many of us ignore the importance of alternative energy integration, especially Photovoltaic (PV) energy. As a solar energy this important energy technology has numerous significant environmental benefits…
For the sake from the opposing people, the vote from Gov, Charlie Crist and other key poeple is not the only barrier Progress’ plant has to pass but it still needs the federal approval.

With the intensity and frequency of its sunshine, Florida should be a world leader in harnessing this potent form of renewable energy. Yet, the state has only a handful of commercial solar arrays, offers a paltry $5 million rebate program, and serves merely as a conduit for federal stimulus funds targeted to renewable energy projects.
Cleantech, or clean technology, investing seeks sustainable investments in environmentally friendly companies that work to improve their operations, performance, productivity and efficiency while lowering their costs, energy consumption, inputs, waste or pollution. Clean technologies can lower a company’s environmental impact and may provide improvements in resource efficiency and productivity. When a company operates with less energy and materials, or produces less waste, the result can create more economic value for the company and its shareholders.
