Wind and solar generate over a tenth of the world’s electricity. Taken together, they are the fourth-largest source of electricity, behind coal, gas, and hydro. This infographic based on data from Ember shows the rise of electricity from these two clean sources over the last decade. Wind and solar generated 10.3% of global electricity for […]

Researchers Suggest Battery-Powered Trains Could Very Soon Be Economically Viable by Bob Yirka
A small team of researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California has found that battery-powered trains could become economical as soon as 2023. In their paper published in the journal Nature Energy, the group argues that improved battery technology and cheap, renewable energy could soon allow battery power to compete with […]
Here Come The Climate Change Lockdowns by Simon Black
Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice. Cities in India Will Lockdown Over Air Pollution. UK Company Will Harvest DNA from COVID Tests. School Board President Compiles Dossier on Parents. Dad Threatens Parents […]
The California Version Of The Green New Deal And An October 16, 2020, EPA Settlement With Transportation Is What’s Creating The Container Shipping Backlog – Working CA Ports 24/7 Will Not Help, Here’s Why by Sundance
Hundreds of requests for details on the specifics of the container shipping backlog. So, I spent 3 days calling sources, digging for details and gathering information on the substantive issue at hand. The epicenter of the problem is not what is being outlined by financial media, corporate media and politicians who have a specific interest […]
The Hardwick Alliance For Real Ecology (HARE)
‘Holistic in outlook, pragmatic in action’HARE was formed in February 2020 at Hardwick House, Whitchurch-on-Thames in Oxfordshire, with the task of creating a united and purposeful front to expose, challenge and reverse our present deeply oppressive, corrupted and degraded political and economic systems. Our country’s ancient freedoms are now under threat like never before as […]
Missing Piece In Solar Panel Puzzle Found, May Lead To More Efficient Technology by Loughborough University
Silicon-based solar modules dominate the current market. However, they are expensive and have a high carbon footprint. A new generation of modules is emerging made using a chemical compound known as cadmium telluride (CdTe) andover 25 GW has already been installed. Solar panel efficiency refers to a panel’s ability to convert energy from the sun […]
Researchers Develop Tool To Aid In Development, Efficiency Of Hydrogen-Powered Cars by University of Colorado at Boulder
Widespread adoption of hydrogen-powered vehicles over traditional electric vehicles requires fuel cells that can convert hydrogen and oxygen safely into water—a serious implementation problem. Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder are addressing one aspect of that roadblock by developing new computational tools and models needed to better understand and manage the conversion process. Hendrik […]
