The point here is pro-nuclear, not anti-renewables. In 1975, China’s Banqiao Dam collapsed, “forming a wall of water six meters high and twelve kilometers wide moving up to fifty kilometers per hour. The towering deluge eventually collapsed 62 more dams, […]
The miner is in a part of Texas that’s flush with wind power. The nature of renewable energy creates periods where supply vastly outstrips demand. This unique dynamic is an opportunity for large energy users who have the flexibility to […]
Yet another way to harvest clean renewable energy from our environment. “Here we show that thin-film devices made from nanometre-scale protein wires harvested from the microbe Geobacter sulfurreducens can generate continuous electric power in the ambient environment.” | learn more
Sure, it’s a tiny country with limited industry, but this is still awesome! They use a mixture of hydro, geothermal, wind, biomass and solar energy. | learn more
In Brooklyn, startup LO3 Energy is rolling out an interesting model that connects neighbors in a microgrid that’s segregated from (but connected to) the main power grid, where multiple members can buy/sell renewable energy, all supported by blockchain technlogy for capturing the […]
Nuclear power is a great source of renewable energy, and while many place it in the category of clean energy, it carries a serious downside – radioactive nuclear waste. This stuff is not only dangerous, but also has a crazy long half-life […]
