Renewable Energy
The influences that distinguish New York’s approach to Shale Gas from Pennsylvania’s were again on full display this week in Albany.
The idea is as follows. Cyanobacteria takes water as input and then gives oxygen and protons and electrons as output. So the idea is to genetically manipulate the Cyanobacteria so that the protons and electrons somehow collide to form hydrogen. Then... Read More

H. Peter Vollhardt and collaborators at the University of California, Berkeley, have discovered molecules composed of organic material and metal that store sunlight in the form of usable thermal energy.
The direct conversion of solar photons (tiny... Read More

One of our Planet Forward members contacted me with an interesting question:
Hydraulic fracturing is problem free. The science says so. Those who ignore this science are hysterical fear mongers.
The Prosperity Energy Storage Project in New Mexico allows for efficient generation, distribution, and storage of solar energy. The solar facility stores excess energy and then distributes it through a smart grid when demand is higher, like when it... Read More
