Nissan has recently exhibited a new concept car (a two-seater electric vehicle) that is very similar to a go-cart and is known as New Mobility. Nissan, who stated its ambitions to be among the top sellers of zero-emission cars, now plans to produce an annual 250,000 electric vehicles, starting December.
The British company Eco Sustainable Solutions has recently put forward its plans to develop a large-scale solar power plant in Dorset, UK. Eco Sustainable Solutions, in partnership with Dorset County Council and Natural England are to install about 30,000 photovoltaic solar panels on a field that is currently used for turf cultivation.
Germany's solar power subsidies still fascinate and amaze me. The same goes with the well-known German exactness, which has calculated that the price solar power in their country is estimated to outweigh the price of coal and fossil-derived energy.
Collecting solar power in cloudy days is really a problem for the solar industry, since it can make this source of energy unreliable and pretty intermittent. An MIT researcher, Carmen Rotschild, presented a solution that would be perfectly suited for this.
And I thought they couldn't make them any better than Tesla Motors did... INIZIO is the name of the electric super car designed by Li-ion Motors from North Carolina that will kick Tesla probably one step forward (out of the scene? I guess not).
A group of researchers at the University of Bolton have created a new piezoelectric-photovoltaic fiber that has the possibility to be implemented into different gadgets to power them using light and motion.
A solar powered keyboard has been launched by Logitech yesterday. Not only it will announce you through a special software that it needs recharging, the innovative keyboard also saves precious power... in vain.
A study performed by Edward Arnett, from Bat Conservation International in Austing, TX, and his colleagues, have determined that wind turbine operators could lower bat deaths by as much as 93 percent and at least 44 percent by raising the wind speed threshold at which the turbines begin to spin.
A novel method for developing conductive and transparent thin films, that could be used in applications ranging from solar cells to ultracapacitors, has been discovered by a team of UCLA researchers, by mistake.
According to a new report made by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, solar energy can provide 4.2% of U.S. power needs by 2020. This will become reality only if the U.S continues to make investments in the energy sector and decrease solar costs.
