Excerpts:
Jo Borras of sister site Gas2 has put together a nice little list post on the top 13 (i.e. best) fuel-efficient motorcycles on the market in 2013. Actually, 10 of the 13 are from the Chicago Tribune, which didn’t do the most stellar job of researching the vehicles, according to Jo, so he added a few of his own. Rather than steal Jo’s thunder, though, why don’t I just send you straight over to Gas2. … Read More

This article originally appeared on the Mosaic website. By Rosana Francescato Last year climate change became reality for the United States. New York City flooded, a historic drought blanketed the Midwest, and we saw one of the worst fire seasons ever recorded. By July, the US had shattered over 40,000 daily heat records. The question now is whether last year's events will lead to new momentum for climate solutions. Will we get a shift in public opinion to match the shifting … Read More

Following up on an innovative floating wind energy storage technology we covered some time back, here’s a post from MIT itself on details and news about this technology. By David L. Chandler Offshore wind could provide abundant electricity — but as with solar energy, this power supply can be intermittent and unpredictable. But a new approach from researchers at MIT could mitigate that problem, allowing the electricity generated by floating wind farms to be stored … Read More

Energy storage may be the next big thing in cleantech, and in the energy sector as a whole. We have never had much energy storage in place across the world. Instead, we have built a tremendous amount of backup capacity. With the variability of wind and solar, their increasingly low costs, and the desire to have a renewably powered world, the drive for cost-effective storage has picked up in pace. And many new solutions seem … Read More

All plug-in cars purchased in California may get a bit cheaper if Assembly Bill AB1077 passes. Thanks to Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi’s the proposed bill would reduce the basis for taxes and fees applied to plug-in cars by using the post-incentive transaction valuation for the car, not the pre-incentive sticker price. The announcement was made in front of Hermosa Beach city hall electric car charging stations with an official press event. It was attended by representatives from Plug-in … Read More

One of the most popular micro wind turbine companies around, Southwest Windpower, began to scale back operations last year and has apparently closed its doors, which means that our list of Top 5 Micro Wind Turbines is overdue for a re-do. As a preliminary step, let’s take a look at JLM Energy, Inc., an all-around renewable energy company that has figured out a way to piggyback its Zefr micro wind turbine arrays onto Southwest’s poles, … Read More

Floating offshore wind energy is looking like an increasingly likely possibility in the near future, thanks to the Scottish government’s recent unveiling of a £15 million fund for the development of new deep-water foundation technologies. Floating foundation technologies are currently in the early stages of their development, but once proved on the industrial scale, they will allow for the installation of floating wind turbines in far deeper waters than is currently possible. The wind resources … Read More

Clean energy investments soared higher in Latin America in 2012 amid an overall, global contraction. Four Latin American countries registered triple-digit percentage increases, with Brazil leading the way in terms of dollars invested. The data was released by Bloomberg New Energy Finance in advance of ACORE's third Latin America & Caribbean Renewable Energy Finance Forum, which is being held in Miami this week.

The tipping point between electric vehicles and gasoline power is still far away in the distance, but the changeover has been accelerating with lightening speed over the past couple of years. The raw sales figures only tell a small part of the tale. What really matters is the way that auto manufacturers have begun rolling out integrated EV systems that go beyond promoting vehicle ownership as a form of self expression, to recast the car … Read More

Right around the same time as Ford and KB Home teamed up to launch a smart home pilot project, Honda launched one of its own — Honda Smart Home US. Solar panels on the home in Davis, CA, will be used to charge a Honda Fit EV. From the construction on, the project is being documented and shared via the Honda Smart Home US website. Aside from the solar panels and EV, the home will … Read More

Editor’s note: This article will be added to our “70%, 80%, 99.9%, 100% Renewables — Study Central” page. This article originally appeared on RenewEconomy. An exploratory study into 100% renewable energy scenarios for Australia has concluded that its impact on consumer electricity prices over the next few decades may be no more than the increases in the last few years to support much criticised network upgrades and the introduction of the carbon price. The report … Read More
