(Natural News) The call for renewable energy has been gaining traction in recent years due to concerns over escalating environmental pollution. A great deal of pressure is felt among policymakers and private companies as green activists and agencies lobby for a greener solution to humanity’s demand for energy. But a recent report from the Manhattan […]

(Natural News) The world is now, after a few long years, slowly starting to come around on the concept of renewable energy. While it’s true that the idea of using renewable energy sources has been around for literally decades now, it’s only now that it has become truly economically viable. In fact, it has become […]

(Natural News) Have you ever considered using an alternate power source for your homestead? If you’re already using solar panels to power your home, what about a backup source that can keep your loved ones warm during winter? There are various types of energy sources that you can use when SHTF, but not all of […]

(Natural News) Offshore wind farms might produce clean energy, but they do have negative effects on the environment. For one, their construction causes noise that might be disturbing, driving out, or even harming local wildlife. In a Science Daily article, European researchers have devised a computer model tool to determine the possible effects of such […]

(Natural News) The Aloha State could be the country’s leader in renewable energy as it moves toward getting 100 percent of its power needs from both solar and wind sources by 2045. As of this year, Hawaii gets around 33 percent of its power needs from rooftop solar, although there are days when the percentage […]

(Natural News) When a disaster, invasion, or terrorist attack takes out the power grid, it will take years or even decades to restore power. An article on Ready Nutrition recommended five alternative sources of electrical energy that can improve your chances of surviving post-collapse conditions. Each power source has its strengths and weaknesses. You should […]

(Natural News) In a Stanford News article, researchers have invented a cheap water-based battery. If successful, a much bigger version will serve solar and wind farms, storing excess electricity for later redistribution in the power grid. The three-inch tall prototype stores enough power for a small LED flashlight. The researchers believe they can scale up this […]

(Natural News) The world awaits the first comprehensive performance reviews of offshore wind farms that are currently in operation. Now, it looks like it will finally get a first glimpse at this highly awaited information, and it’s quite encouraging. Hywind, the world’s first commercial offshore wind farm that’s operating out of Scotland, is slowly but […]

(Natural News) The title of world’s largest offshore wind turbine could one day go to General Electric (GE), whose renewable energy division has recently announced it is developing the skyscraper-sized Haliade-X model, according to an article on EcoWatch. Standing at a height of 853 feet, Haliade-X is as tall as the Transamerica Pyramid building, the second tallest structure in […]

(Natural News) Wind turbines have been used to generate wind power, which is generally regarded as clean energy. However, wind turbines have killed numerous bats and birds, including golden eagles and bald eagles, which are federally protected species. Researchers have come up with a solution to minimize these deaths in a study published in Wind Energy. The researchers have […]
