Diesel-powered vehicles are inherently more efficient and generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions, which is good news for those concerned about climate change. On the other hand, other diesel emissions, such as large particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide ,...
I'm not sure how to take this, really, but Bob Lutz isn't too impressed with the vehicles he pushed into production a couple years ago, namely the Chevy Volt with extended-range electric vehicle technology.
“If I had my time...
The 50 percent conversion efficiency barrier in multi-junction photovoltaic development has the potential to be broken with the novel triple-junction solar cell proposed by researchers at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory-the Electronics Technology and Science Division, in collaboration with...
Professor José Luis González Díez from the Higher Technical School of Naval Engineering of the UPM has recently patented a prototype of a new clean fusion reactor. The invention has a laser ignition of 1000 MWe and uses hydrogen...
Recent studies have demonstrated that limits on greenhouse gas emissions have a tremendous impact on climate change and has the ability to reduce the severity of the resulting natural disasters.
The journal Nature Climate Change published the study, which is...
In an unprecedented move, the Chinese media, not an outlet known to criticize the controlling Communist Party, called on the government to take drastic measures to combat the massive amount of air pollution that is plaguing the country.

The rebate program targeted at businesses and homeowners in for installing solar panels in California now has enough subscribers to produce 1 gigawatt worth of electricity, which is the first among the US states, and a level reached by...
The US Military has recently announced a $500-Electric-vehicle-to-grid program with a $20 million fund, as part of the several sustainable energy initiatives out there today. The other initiatives include zero emission electric vehicles, zero emission recharging using solar or...
Investigators at the International Energy Agency estimate that by 2035 there would be about 1.7 billion vehicles plying the roads. It is hoped that most of these vehicles would be powered by advanced technology such as hydrogen fuel cells...
Natural gas, for some, may be the solution to curbing US petroleum imports and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Natural gas is being used in power plants, which are much cleaner than coal-fired plants, as well as in vehicles.
Increasing...
