From animal waste to solar paint, and from hosepipe water turbines to energy generating 'bouncing' dance floors, designers everywhere are generating new and unusual green energy systems in use today. http://www.power-technology.com/features/featureamps-with-attitude-bizarre-and-brilliant-alternative...

I have an interesting topic today. :D I came across this article which discusses the feasibility of launching satellites that capable of securing sunlight into orbit. http://www.power-technology.com/features/featuregiant-leap-for-space-based-solar/ The concept of collecting sunlight in space and tra...

I think these turbines only generates electricity for the tidal current moving one way, but there are proposals for a two-way rotors with a 1 MW rated capacity off the coast of Northern Ireland.

Many times, in discussions with friends and on other forums, people say that it's impossible to generate a large part of a country's electricity needs with renewable energy. And every time they say this, I point to Scotland.

I came across this article which lists some of the biggest marine power projects in the world, in terms of current installed electrical capacity. Due to the high investment in setting up the project, a typical tidal power project is expected to break even between 8 and 12 years after commissioning. ...

According to reports, exports are now responsible for one-third of China's emissions. Now who is responsible for that?

In 2012, the European Commission published the final draft of Europe's new Energy Efficiency Directive. But how effective is Europe's new Energy Efficiency Directive in the context of the European sovereign-debt crisis? http://www.power-technology.com/features/featureenergy-efficiency-directive-euro...

They have more experience than any other country. They are going to have more than 100 nuclear reactors in operation by 2020 in China.

Here is a nice article about ‘Concentrated Solar Power Plants’ and ‘Nano-Antennas’ to produce power at night or during cloudy patches : http://www.power-technology.com/features/featurewhen-the-lights-go-down-a-new-vision-for-solar/ It's a new type of light-sensitive nanoantennas that harvest power f...

There are better alternatives to traditional nuclear plants: We should be planning to replace all existing (and rapidly-ageing) plants with systems powered by thorium, not plutonium. A power technology article recently ( http://www.power-technology.com/features/featureu-turn-thorium-safe-nuclear-pow...

The meltdown at Japan's Fukushima plant knocked public confidence in nuclear power. But is there some thong called safe nuclear power generation? Is thorium a clean, green and safe as its supporters claim it to be? Read more : http://www.power-technology.com/features/featureu-turn-thorium-safe-nucle...
