Here’s a thought about generating electricity in the future from a bona fide expert: “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power!” That was Thomas Edison. The year was 1931. After years of optimistic predictions and false st
A new catalyst makes it feasible to split water with solar power. MIT chemists say the catalyst, used in conjunction with cheap photovoltaic solar panels, could lead to inexpensive, simple systems that use water to store the energy from sunlight.
Who are we kidding? Who are Obama and McCain kidding? Are we kidding ourselves? When it comes to energy, we're like a bunch of rats in a cage with few options. We must arm ourselves with reason, creative thought and common sense.

ITM believes the plastic could be mass produced relatively cheaply and would allow people to create the gas at home using their normal electric supply or greener sources such as solar power.
Oil T. Boone Pickens unveiled a plan Tuesday to wean the United States from its dependence on foreign oil. By shifting to natural gas as a transportation fuel and increasing our reliance on wind power, he said, we could cut oil imports by as much as

The One-Liter is long and low, coming in at 11.4 feet long, 4.1 feet wide and 3.3 feet tall. It features an aircraft-like canopy, flat wheel covers and a belly pan to smooth the airflow under the car. The engine cooling vents open only when needed, a
Most of oil’s price surge has been caused by the US dollar’s steady loss of value caused by Washington’s bungled foreign policy and orgy of debt. Increased demand from India, China, and other Asian nations, where gas prices are kept below ...

A new type of solar energy collector concentrates the sun into a beam that could melt steel. Researchers say the device could revolutionize global energy production. The prototype is a 12-foot-wide mirrored dish was made from a lightweight frame of t
Incandescent bulbs are to be replaced by something so toxic that you are advised to leave your home if they break! They are filled with mercury and need to be double-bagged and hand delivered to a specialized recycling center after they burn out. And
