6 November 2016 Leave a Comment

Scientific Breakthrough: Researchers accidentally turn carbon dioxide into ethanol

22 October 2016 Leave a Comment

"They basically put a genie back in its bottle. "Science has a long and storied history of looking for one thing but finding something better instead. Penicillin, radioactivity, science boxes...I mean microwave ovens -- all of these discoveries came in the the search for something else. On Monday, researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee announced that they too had unintentionally discovered something incredible: a means of transforming carbon dioxide directly into ethanol … Continue reading

In Scotland, gusts of wind usher in a quiet energy revolution

18 October 2016 Leave a Comment

"More than half of Scotland's electricity now comes from zero-carbon sources such as wind, hydro and solar, and the latest target of 100 percent by 2020 may be within reach. "The exceptional output brought the country membership in a small but growing club of nations proving that the vision of a world powered by renewable fuels is closer than many realize. Long derided as a fantasy, a day’s worth of energy harvested purely from the sun and the wind has lately become reality in nations such as … Continue reading

Is blue the new green? Wave power could revolutionize the renewable-energy game

2 September 2016 1 Comment

"There's enough wave energy in the oceans to power the world, and scientists are finally close to harnessing it. "Unless you’re a surfer, a sailor or the owner of beachfront property during hurricane season, you probably don’t spend much time thinking about the power of waves. That may be changing soon. "Like a large, slowly building swell miles from shore, the wave-power revolution has quietly and gradually gained momentum. "A report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change … Continue reading

Scotland just produced enough wind energy to power it for an entire day

13 August 2016 Leave a Comment

"Strong winds combined with low demand on a sunny summer Sunday help Scotland reach ‘significant milestone’ on path towards ditching fossil fuels entirely... "For the first time on record, wind turbines have generated more electricity than was used in the whole of Scotland on a single day. "Karen Robinson, of the WeatherEnergy project, which provides information about renewables, said that electricity demand during weekends was “usually lower than the rest of the week”. People also tend to use … Continue reading

Findhorn: Could this be the cleanest, friendliest place to live in the world?

4 August 2016 1 Comment

"For many people living in the developed world, day to day life is hectic and increasingly stressful. While we are more connected than ever before, the amount of free time we have to take stock of our lives and spend time with friends and family is constantly under threat. "Maybe we should move to north-east Scotland. "Founded in 1962, the Findhorn Foundation has sustainability and clean living at its core, and offers an alternative way of life to the millions of us who find ourselves in the … Continue reading

Balance of power tilts from fossil fuels to renewable energy

3 August 2016 Leave a Comment

"Old certainties no longer hold sway as new plans for energy supply surprise... "These are strange days in the energy business. Startling headlines are emerging from the sector that would have seemed impossible just a few years ago. "The implication of those stories is to suggest there are momentous changes under way in the global energy system, undermining received wisdom in the sector. It is clear that the world is shifting toward renewables and — as a proportion of total consumption — away … Continue reading

Revolutionary: Germany Builds A Solar City That Produces Four Times More Energy Than It Consumes

3 May 2016 Leave a Comment

"We have known cities to be great power-guzzlers, having a huge appetite for consuming electricity to power its homes and buildings. To generate electricity for such cities through renewable sources like solar becomes a difficult task given the vast amount of area required to place the solar panels. But a city in the heart of Germany has achieved something more incredible. It not only has made itself self-sufficient in energy, but in fact has become a net producer of energy – all thanks to a … Continue reading
