Nanosolar just put into production the solar industries first 1GW thin-film photovoltaic production tool. The tool shown in the video above is printing thin-film solar panels at 100 feet-per-minute and is capable (in theory) of ramping up to over 2,000 feet-per-minute.

Rbgh is a genetically engineered hormone that is injected into cows in order to increase their milk supply. In my research, I found that the effects are horrible for the cows and people as well...

Most people simply do not realize how effective energy efficiency is in the fight against global warming and rising energy cost. More can be done for the environment by simply increasing the efficiency of existing homes and building than by removing all of the automobiles and planes in the entire United States. The following list is my top ten energy efficiency techniques and products which I have determined to be the most cost effective and worth while things to do in any home.

I recently came across a very unique photovoltaic product, in fact it is quite amazing. It is based on amorphous(non-crystalline) silicon photovoltaic technology, making it ideal for both power generation and controlling light and heat.

With gas prices rising to record highs, individuals are looking for ways to cut that cost and one company are ready to give it to them. A California based company, E-Fuel Corporation has just announced their newest product, a do-it-yourself home ethanol refinery.

After many years of development, the long awaited Tesla all electric vehicle is now a reality. Tesla opened their first flagship dealership in Hollywood Thursday and plans to open the next dealership in a couple of months next to their home base in San Carlos.

City officials just passed legislation which would require all new single family homes built in Montgomery county to meet the federal energy efficiency standards known as Energy Star. Do you agree or disagree with this type of legislation and why?

The garbage is a place we tend to put all kinds of things we don’t know what to do with, and things we’re unaware should be put elsewhere. Perhaps the reason we don’t know the answers to many “trashy” questions is because we’d just rather avoid the topic.

In times like these, no matter how much we think we care about the Earth, our eco-consciousness can be trumped by our wallet-consciousness. But greening your life and home doesn’t require you to shun electricity or buy expensive green products to make a difference.

Apparently we are screwing up the earth with global warming enough so that once inaccessible areas of the Arctic will now be accessible to be exploited for oil. Scientist are predicting that global warming will leave the Arctic region almost entirely ice-free for many months at a time.

Petrosun's most recent press release announced the actual commencement of operations of the first algae-to-biofuel plant. This comes as a bit of a surprise, but a very nice one considering the huge environmental benefits of microalgae biofuel over typical corn, soy and sunflower biofuels. Here are just some of the facts...

LEED certified buildings are currently receiving federal subsidies which offset the cost of the required energy system commissioning and processing fees. In my opinion this makes the entire LEED process well worth it, but many are still not convinced… until now.

It looks like the city of Seattle will be following San Fransisco’s lead by no longer purchasing any bottled water for city employees.

Coming up towards the end of this month is something called “Earth Hour.” Countries and cities from all across the globe are joining together to turn off their lights in unison for one hour.

New company eliminates the need for precious metal catalysts in hydrogen electrolysis and makes it 85% efficient while producing ten times more than any other. The company has also invented a technique, using nano technology, to increase the catalytic surface area of each electrode, giving them 2,000 times more surface area than its predecessors.
