There is plenty of green energy projects going on at the moment. Large scale wind energy production has proven itself in North Europe, on the other side of the Atlantic there is predictions that by 2030 it could power up to 20% of the US grid.
Solar and wind technologies are at the moment the only [...]

According to a post in Treehugger and the Earth Policy Institute, global energy generation from wind is growing in leaps and will very soon -estimated within a month- reach 100 GW! This considerable amount covers the needs of 150 million people!
Although certainly not solving global energy problems, it is a great start and holds even [...]

The world is not short of plans for large zero emission energy production projects. ElectronRun has so far covered several solar projects or proposals worldwide -see links below. The Southwest states of the US are blessed with lots of sunshine, a fact that has recently led to several large solar project plans in this corner [...]

Big problems require large scale innovative solutions. ElectronRun has so far covered solar proposals for the energy needs of the EU and the US. Now OTEC artificial energy islands come as another large scale idea whose main energy source is water temperature differences. The idea is that when we have a difference of about [...]

Wind turbine producers crank up your production! If Britain’s plans go ahead to power all homes with wind turbines by 2020, there will be unprecedented demand for turbines. Current wind power covers about 2% of total demand. To achieve the optimistic target, large coastal areas will be set aside for power generation, so the view [...]

Hey, do you feel guilty when you leave your PC on all night for those downloads and virus scans? There might hopefully be a solution to produce enough energy to alleviate this bad feeling if the Maglev project delivers as much as it promises. Just imagine a very large building spinning on a cushion of [...]
