David Love, Managing Director, C.P. Eaton Partners, talks about the investment environment for clean energy technologies and companies -- from both the venture capital and long-term, strategic perspectives. He particularly discusses grid and infrastructure improvements as a key investment area.

Student Max Robson, an amateur inventor, built his prototype using rubbish collected from bins including an old bike frame and wheel bearings, the magneto from a Vespa, a battery from a Ford Fiesta and bits of wood to create a wind turbine.

Installing a Wind Turbine for your home energy needs is a big project but there's some dedicated homeowners out there getting it done.

Some effects are verified, like sleep loss from noise. Others, like "infrasound exposure" are still under investigation. Nevertheless, most will agree that buffer zones prevent conflict between residents and renewable energy.

Wind turbines may be built over the water in the Saginaw Bay area of Eastern Michigan if Steve Smiley gets his way.

The state of Ohio has been named No. 1 in the nation for alternative energy projects, including wind, solar and hydrogen. Burghard talks about what that means for the Buckeye State.

The turbines will be built on approximately 12,000 acres of land located near Big Quill, a community near the town of Wynyard, Saskatchewan. The planned wind park will produce 100 megawatts of energy, enough to power 30,000 homes per year.

The inventor certainly seems to think so. He wants to release a herd in a few years' time.

A new study put out by the UK’s Carbon Trust reports that domestic windmills in urban locations are actually net carbon emitters.

A recent experiment performed by a team at the university used kites to create 10 kW of energy—enough to power 10 homes. This is a not a major breakthrough in and of itself, but the researchers plan to build a larger version of the project called “Laddermill” that would create 50 kW of energy. They eventually want to build a 100 MW version of their project. If successful, the expanded project would create enough power for 100,000 homes.

Solar, wind, ocean, geothermal energy: All good stuff, but it’s likely that there are still more clean energy possibilities out there yet to be discovered and even further from being commercialized.

China is the world's leading producer of energy from renewable sources and is on the way to overtaking developed countries in creating clean technologies, according to a report by the Climate Group.

For the fourth time this summer alone, Senate Republicans have blocked any formal consideration of extending renewable energy tax credits. The 51-43 vote on Wednesday to invoke cloture on S.3335 fell nine short of the 60 needed to begin floor debate.

Heard enough about the death of the American Family Summer Vacation?  The Wilson family turns their summer "green" with a Hybrid SUV, lightweight, low-profile camper, solar and wind power, and carbon offsets.  They get 19mpg while giving their young girls contact with nature most kids today never get.  See their story at www.greenfamilysummer.com.
