CNN’s Earth’ Frontiers maps out the changes in global energy consumption for different regions of the world between the years of 1980 and 2007. A colorful interactive ‘infographic’ shows how population, CO2 emissions from energy, and electricity – both total and renewable – have changed over the years.
The interactive graph is based on data from [...]
Several recent articles in the British and international media have dealt with the question of solar power and government schemes that encourage homeowners to install solar panels.
One such plan, announced yesterday by UK energy and climate change secretary, Ed Miliband is a Pay As You Save program that provides ‘green loans’ to those who install [...]
The energy crisis of the 1970s kick started an energy revolution in Denmark. Previously dependent on foreign oil, the Scandinavian country ‘learned the hard way’ about the importance of diversifying its power sources.
Government subsidies for wind power, a carbon tax and energy efficiency investments – as well as the discovery of North Sea oil, it [...]
With the help of the U.S. military, a company called Ocean Power Technologies is looking to exploit Hawaii’s massive wave energy potential as a renewable energy source.
Ocean Power Technologies’ wave powered energy producing design is a giant buoy that generates electricity by bobbing up and down in the ocean’s waves, working an internal plunger connected [...]
In case you haven’t noticed, Google is not really just a search engine anymore. It has even gone so far as to become a verb in more than one language. That, in and of itself, is no mean feat.

A National Geographic video report from last November offers an inspiring example of one family who are making a serious commitment to energy independence and sustainability. What electricity they don’t use from their turbine can be sold to neighboring families. The family also plans on buying an electric car and charging it with wind power.
Family [...]
Full of green spaces and crisscrossed with 620 km (385 miles) of bicycle paths, the German capital of Berlin is a modern European city with practical approach to energy efficiency. Despite Berlin’s continued widespread use of coal for heating, the city has come up with some inventive solutions to meet its energy needs. This short [...]
