The lithium-ion battery, like other rechargeable battery types, only has a few hundred cycles in it before its performance begins to degrade, although exactly “why” has been elusive.
Actually, rechargeable battery degradation is the anti-EV cult’s main point, that the...
The Liam F1 Urban Wind Turbine might change the way portable wind turbines find their way into residential settings.
Currently, the most-efficient wind turbine designs aren’t particularly suited for residential installation. They’re require enough height to catch the wind to be...
China is home to one of the world’s fastest-growing economies and, much like other countries who developed before her, air quality is a serious problem.
China’s economic growth hasn’t been without its growing pains. The need for power and transportation...
As many have noted, there is energy all around us, and it’s not all locked up in fossil fuels. Renewable energy sources are varied, but it takes some doing to extract it with any efficiency.
Lots of research has gone...
Fast food companies are caught on a slippery slope. They know they need to get their act together to make a concerted commitment to limiting their impact on the environment – if for no other reason than as a...
True, Tesla Motors is most well-known for its award-winning electric vehicle, the Tesla Model S, but CEO Elon Musk’s vision goes so much further.
The basis for this vision is the lithium-ion battery, which Elon Musk is using to corner...
Weather patterns all over the world are unstable, generating excessive rains in some areas, while depriving other areas of it. Climate change may be a new phrase in our lexicon, but only describes the reason for changes we’ve been...
Comparing Tesla Motors and Toyota Motor Corporation may not be fair, but it’s interesting to note Tesla’s growth in California.
Toyota has been around for over eighty years, and is worth over $170 billion today. In California, the undisputed home...
Wind turbines, or at least their predecessors, the wind mills, have been around for millennia, always improving their power and efficiency.
Generally-speaking, however, the wind turbine efficiency improvements require replacement of some very expensive components. For example, old generators or...
According to scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, soil that was formed on the surface of the Earth and is now buried deep underground has been found to be rich in carbon. This adds an interesting and complex dimension...
