Panels stretch across 110 feet of open canal in California's Central Valley and the water beneath runs cooler, but the evaporation number that would justify a solar canal statewide has not been published
3+ day, 17+ hour ago (780+ words) A canal runs through farmland east of the valley floor, carrying water to almond groves and tomato fields. For most of its length it lies open to the sky. Over two short stretches it does not. Steel trusses cross the…...
A solar cell bent 5,000 times around a curve tighter than a thumb kept 91 percent of what it started with, while the flexible tandem inside it reached 33.6 percent certified efficiency on a silicon layer thin enough to roll
4+ day, 19+ hour ago (829+ words) The jig takes both ends of the strip, folds it toward itself, holds it, and lets go. Then it does it again. It ran that way for days, and the film in the clamps looks like nothing at all. Not…...
China sent a flying power plant 13,000 feet into the sky, and a new bird study found tiny songbirds can climb into the very same layer
4+ day, 19+ hour ago (537+ words) Wind power plants are rising thousands of feet into the sky, but so are concerns about potential wildlife impact. Renewable energy capacity must rapidly expand globally to relieve the pressure of increasing electricity demand. The nation is overcoming this by…...
Yakama elders are fighting to save their "mother of all roots" from a pumped-hydro project that may exist to power a massive data center draining up to 80% of its output while a sacred plateau of irreplaceable plants and ancient heritage faces permanent erasure
5+ day, 17+ hour ago (495+ words) High on the Washington side of the Columbia River, near the John Day hydroelectric dam, members of the Yakama Nation gathered on windswept ground their ancestors tended for centuries. They came to protest a multi-billion-dollar energy development actively promoted as…...
American engineers develop solar panels that turn seawater into drinking water by "sweating" salts away with laser-etched grooves, zero chemical waste, and a coffee-ring trick that keeps the surface permanently clean
5+ day, 23+ hour ago (605+ words) Across the globe, 2.2 billion people lack reliable access to safe drinking water. Desalination plants offer a crucial lifeline, yet these massive facilities harbor a destructive secret: every day, they pump billions of gallons of toxic liquid brine back into the…...
A North Dakota farmer cashes his first wind check while his neighbors wish the turbines had never come as coal politics and a federal tax credit rollback threaten to end the state's wind boom for good
6+ day, 15+ hour ago (790+ words) George Wolff was still wiping the day off his hands when he leaned out to greet a visitor from the window of a parked truck — mud on his forehead, muck on his boots, a ballcap tipped back against the May…...
In 1800, an Italian physicist named Alessandro Volta built the world's first battery to prove his friend wrong about a dead frog, unleashing a continuous electric current that cracked open the secrets of electrochemistry and powered the modern world
6+ day, 17+ hour ago (579+ words) Instead, the foundation of modern power systems began improbably in 18th-century Italy with an intense personal dispute between two brilliant researchers, a battery, and a dissected frog. Luigi Galvani was a respected physician and anatomist at the University of Bologna…...
InPipe and BluePath line up as much as $200 million for distributed hydropower projects that could turn overlooked U.S. water infrastructure into power plants
1+ week, 22+ hour ago (231+ words) InPipe Energy is a U.S.-based renewable energy and smart water infrastructure company. Its patented modular HydroXS energy recovery system converts water flowing in pipelines into hydropower, the lowest-cost source of renewable energy. InPipe’s patented HydroXS energy recovery system converts water…...
Record-low reservoirs and a drought-stricken Canada are quietly pulling the plug on America's hydropower foundation, and the clean energy future that depends on it
1+ week, 1+ day ago (480+ words) During the winter of 2026, hydrologic conditions across North America and Canada shifted dramatically. A thin Rocky Mountain snowpack combined with an unusually warm spring melted frozen reserves long before seasonal runoff could replenish major river systems. Across the West, the…...
Illinois cracked a stubborn solar gridlock problem by teaching utilities and developers to share the road, and now other states are paying close attention to paving the same path
1+ week, 4+ day ago (501+ words) For years, solar developers rushing into Illinois’ community solar programs kept running into a brick wall: a rural power grid in ComEd’s western territory that simply had no room left. Standard utility policy required developers to pay for massive electrical…...
