Hurricanes pose a growing threat to coastal wind farms, yet earthquake sensors buried along the Louisiana shoreline secretly captured turbulence

17+ hour, 51+ min ago   (606+ words) In 2021, a hurricane-hunting research aircraft plummeted more than 1,600 feet without warning. Caught in a violent atmospheric downdraft, heavy gear slammed against the cabin ceiling while crew members clung to their seats. It was a terrifying reminder of why the ocean-adjacent…...

Spain's first floating offshore solar platform has docked in Valencia, and its modular catamaran design is already being replicated to power coastlines far beyond Mediterranean waters using industrialized shipbuilding methods that could make offshore solar as scalable as wind

21+ hour, 51+ min ago   (592+ words) A catamaran-shaped solar platform measuring 64 meters by 41 meters — carrying 600 solar modules and 500 kilowatts of generating capacity — has arrived at the Port of Valencia, marking Spain’s first floating offshore solar PV installation. Built at a Galician shipyard and developed by BlueNewables,…...

All 64 machines at a 960 megawatt offshore wind farm in the German North Sea were set without any state subsidy behind them, but a rotor blade let go three weeks before the last one went up

1+ day, 17+ hour ago   (769+ words) Open water about 53 miles northwest of the nearest German island, and nothing in any direction but towers. Sixty four of them now, the last one bolted up in the middle of August. Each carries a rotor 774 feet across, which sweeps…...

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…...

Wisconsin’s drought has pushed Dairyland’s 20 MW hydropower plant offline as shrinking river flows leave too little water to keep it running

5+ day, 22+ hour ago   (447+ words) The Dairyland Power Cooperative has been highly essential to the projects that have materialized over the years and is expected to continue playing a huge role, especially during the clean energy transition. It covers a four-state region that includes Wisconsin,…...

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…...

Poland took its first offshore wind power ashore in July from a Baltic farm 14 miles out with about 50 of 76 turbines standing, and the rotor on each sweeps more than 8 football fields

1+ week, 19+ hour ago   (767+ words) Fourteen miles out in the Baltic the water is cold and flat, and until this past July nothing under it carried electricity toward the Polish shore. On a morning in early July a signal arrived at an onshore substation in…...
