Republicans question Biden admin over $3 billion loan to Sunnova, which has been accused of scamming elderly dementia patients into signing expensive solar panel leases
Republican lawmakers have begun questioning the administration of President Joe Biden for a $3 billion taxpayer-funded loan to solar energy company Sunnova, which has been accused of “scamming” and taking advantage of elderly dementia patients by tricking them into buying long-term solar panel leases. Terry Blythe, a Texas resident, informed the Washington Free Beacon that a door-to-door Sunnover […]

John Kerry admits NUCLEAR ENERGY is necessary but continues to push for wind and solar instead
U.S. Climate Envoy John Kerry believes that wind and solar energy alone will not be sufficient to meet worldwide energy requirements, leading him to admit that nuclear energy is necessary. He made this admission during a speech delivered at a Sept. 18 meeting of the Atlantic Council. “You will have to have some component of […]

Federal data shows WIND and SOLAR energy overtaking coal for the first time
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), both wind and solar power have generated more electricity than coal for the first time in the history of the United States. The federal figures showed that wind and solar sources produced a combined 252 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in the first five months of 2023, […]

Warning: Two-thirds of the North American power grid is at an ELEVATED RISK of experiencing summer outages during peak demand
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) just published their power grid reliability assessment for the summer of 2023. NERC is a not-for-profit, public-private entity that provides reliability assessments of the electrical grid to fifty state regulators and the U.S. Department of Energy. Going into the summer of 2023, NERC warns that two thirds of […]

Relying solely on wind and solar power requires the TAKEOVER of so much land compared to fossil fuels
The United States’ rapid switch to relying solely on renewable energy sources like wind and solar power requires far too much land, compared to keeping the country’s energy systems as they are. Maxine Joselow, a climate-focused staff writer for the Washington Post, warned that the decision to focus more on land-intensive renewables like solar, wind and hydro […]

See-through solar cells can generate power while helping plants grow
New research out of North Carolina State University showed that it is possible to grow lettuce in greenhouses that filter out wavelengths of light used to generate solar power. Published in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science, the study demonstrates the feasibility of installing see-through organic solar cells on the roofs of greenhouses to generate electricity without stunting plant growth. Moreover, these see-through […]

Solar-powered desalination device vaporizes seawater to produce safe drinking water
Researchers developed a solar-powered desalination device that vaporizes saltwater to produce potable water. The unit works thanks to a titanium-based material that captures solar energy and powers evaporation. Made of a special type of paper coated with a compound called titanium nitride oxide, the material heats rapidly and vaporizes water when exposed to the sun. The resulting water vapor is then condensed and […]

New research shows plants grow just fine in solar cell greenhouses
Greenhouses fitted with semitransparent organic solar cells (ST-OSCs) can generate power for heating without affecting plant growth, according to new research from North Carolina State University (NCSU). Published in Cell Reports Physical Science, it demonstrated that ST-OSCs could turn greenhouses into energy-neutral structures by capturing energy from wavelengths of light not used by plants during photosynthesis. ST-OSCs don’t affect plant growth The […]

Connecticut solar developers want to use sheep to cut grass on their solar farms
Greenskies Renewable Energy, a solar developer based out of North Haven, Connecticut, petitioned the state to allow the company to use sheep to control vegetation at its solar farm. Greenskies’ petition reflects a growing interest in the solar industry for what is known as agrivoltaics or agriphotovoltaics, which is the practice of developing a patch […]
