Clean Energy
Ways to generate electricity with less carbon dioxide and fewer pollutants.
Sunny Side of the Street
Passive solar devices use the Sun's thermal power. Photovoltaics convert sunlight to current. We wondered how much energy can the sun provide?
Promising Technologies?
What ways are out there to make affordable and reliable electricity while reducing waste and conserving resources?
Cleaner Coal
What about technologies, such as gasification and carbon capture and storage, that can reduce the environmental impact of coal?
It's not easy defining green
Green has come to mean different things to different people. What does green energy mean to you?
What do you think about nuclear power?
New plants may be less than a decade away.
Can we get electricity from the wind?
Energy is a hot topic these days. We wondered if the answer, my friend, is really blowin' in the wind. So we hit the streets to find out.
What is sustainability?
One definition of sustainability is development that meets the needs of the current generation without undermining the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
What is biomass?
Biomass is a relatively new term for the use of renewable plant matter and waste to generate energy. Biomass can be wood chips, sawdust or grass as well as landfill methane gas.
