By Paul Driessen Your life, living standards, country and planet will take a big hit under the Green New Deal Paul Driessen Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, AOC, the Democrat Party and US environmentalists are committed to making climate change, the Green New Deal, and replacement of fossil fuels with wind, solar, battery and biofuel power…
By [email protected] Hydrogen will be the key energy source for global road freight, according to a new report commissioned by European oil major Shell. Electrification is the most economic and environmental solution for smaller delivery vehicles. The study, carried out by global accountancy firm Deloitte on Shell’s behalf, questioned 158 executives in the road freight…

By Kelly Pickerel The SUN DAY Campaign has reviewed FERC data to find that renewable energy sources (which include biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar and wind) accounted for over 70% (14,734 MW) of the 20,803 MW of new utility-scale electrical generating capacity added in the first 11 months of 2020. Wind (8,042 MW) and solar (6,485…
By National Wind Watch Dec. 18, “Newport opts for electric heat over gas” reports endorsement by the City Council a National Grid solution for end-of-the-line gas that shut down homes winter 2019. Endorsed: remove Natural Gas, replace with electric heat pumps. Our cold-homes-exploding fear will succumb to exploding costs if City proceeds with costly retrofit…
By Rafael Herzberg Energy (Brazil): 5 Trends for 2021 Distributed generation Solar energy, cogeneration from biomass and gas and even traditional generator sets are alternatives to reduce costs and mitigate supply risks via the public grid. Energy Efficiency Load management, demand control, load programming (to avoid waste) are simple, low-cost actions that generally offer surprising…..
By borrowing nature’s blueprints for photosynthesis, bioengineers have found a way to efficiently absorb and store large-scale, low-cost renewable energy from the sun – while sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide to use later as a biofuel.

By FORESIGHT Contributor Solar players in South Korea have filed an unprecedented legal challenge against the government for its support of biomass generation. As the European Commission prepares to reopen its own Renewable Energy Directive, Joojin Kim, from Seoul-based NGO Solutions for Our Climate explains the background to the South Korean case Burning wood as…
By Kelsey Misbrener The Center for Biological Diversity sued the U.S. Department of Energy for failing to release records about the agency’s collaboration with utility companies and the fossil fuel industry on an important, publicly funded study about the reliability and resiliency of North America’s power grid. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in…
Ethylene is one of the most important and widely used organic chemicals. A research group has designed a thin-layer artificial biofilm with embedded cyanobacterial cell factories which were specifically engineered for photosynthetic production of ‘green’ ethylene. The fabricated biofilms have sustained ethylene production for up to 40 days. Read Full Article Here For more great…
By Rafael Herzberg These days a long list of energy related options is potentially available for industrial, commercial and institutional energy users. They range from purchasing energy as commodities (power, gas, biomass, etc.), developing energy efficiency projects (inside the fence) and power projects such as generation, cogeneration and high voltage access (to the fence and/or…
