These figures should make critics of China’s energy policies think twice.

A team at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have revealed a potential revolution in hydrogen cars, after driving 650 miles on one tank of liquid hydrogen - a new world record.

Thomas Friedman, New York Times Columnist and Pulitzer Prize-winning Author, reads from, and discusses, his forthcoming book, Hot, Flat And Crowded, which describes potentially catatrophic effects of global trends of climate change, worldwide economic growth and population increases, and energy consumption. Friedman says U.S. leadership is needed to deal with them.

With the introduction of a customizable offset program, TerraPass has taken carbon offsetting to a new level. Now customers can not only purchase offsets to reduce their carbon footprint but they can also direct the company's effort to offset projects of their choice...

The world needs to invest a whopping $45 trillion in new energy and environmental technologies to meet the twin challenges of climate change and energy depletion.

Photographs and brief descriptions of the world's largest solar power plants and systems.

I know, I know, its an old watered down topic but I gotta talk about it because there is some interesting and unusual ideas presented in this article. Smartly titled as Inconvenient Truths, the article presents Wired’s take on the climate crisis.

Across the U.S., researchers, startup companies and investors are exploring the potential of creating large amounts of green, renewable fuel from the humblest of sources: algae. If you think the energy/food potential for hemp is underutilized, wait’ll you get a gander at algae. This little microorganism really packs a punch.

Wind energy in Florida might have some promise after all. This year’s renewable energy technologies grants from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection include two note-worthy investments in wind: $2.5 million for Florida Power and Light (FPL) to build the state’s first wind-energy facility in St. Lucie County, and $123,868 to Progress Energy Florida to install small-scale, inland wind-evaluation turbines at five different locations in the state.

How quickly everyone forgets the Oil Crisis of 1973! Here we are again as oil consumers, bowing to OAPEC and the Arab nations. Will the environment pay the price?

BioPower Systems from Australia thought that making an under-ocean energy collecting system whose movement resembles with the one plants have, would be much more efficient and non-disturbing to the environment.

Everybody wants to have a cleaner Earth, but few of them take any actions. One of those people is Doug Selsam, who designed high-power wind turbines that can generate enough energy to power a home. The wind turbines measure about 14-18 inches in diameter and they can generate an impressive amount of 200 watts for a 20 mph wind, but the wind turbines could do better if the winds are stronger.

“Two administrative law judges recommended today that power lines should not be built across west-central Minnesota from the proposed coal-fired plant on the South Dakota side of Big Stone Lake. The decision is a major victory in the fight to combat climate change.”

5 cents per kWh is claimed by a new company that combines extreme solar concentrators with hardy solar panels. To market next year!

If the U.S. moved aggressively to start harnessing the solar power it receives daily, it could generate enough clean energy to meet the country’s needs many times over, according to a new report from Environment Florida.
