$1.5 Million Paid to UK Wind Power Companies for Extra Electricity They Haven't Delivered
Usually, one man's garbage is another man's gold, as they say. The rule does not always stand up when the latter pays 20 times more than he should, and there's so much of it that it can't be carried from one to another. That's the case with some Scottish wind farms that just provided too much energy and had to be disconnected recently, but the wind power companies had to be paid anyway.
Shanghai Railway Station Benefits 6.8 MW Solar Power Plant Since Sunday
Germany and Spain may be the leaders in solar photovoltaics, but China comes from behind and amazes everyone with an enormous power station just above the Beijing-Shanghai railway station. The plant is able to produce 6.3 MWh (megawatt-hours) of electricity and can provide the needs of 12,000 households in Shanghai.

MIT Study Says Nuclear Fuel Is Enough For Decades, Still Companies Head to Natural...
New types of nuclear fission reactors could consume their uranium much more efficiently, says a study from the MIT, called "The Future of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle". Charles Forsberg, one of the study's co-authors, says that their work tries to make it easier for the United States to enhance their nuclear power usage by three times, and produce more than 1 GW of electricity.
