Earth Day Ignites a Generation for an Increase in Renewable Energy
Thursday, April 22 marks the celebration of Earth Day across the globe. Individuals around the world take time out of their day to conserve and restore the environment for future generations. The act of planting trees on Earth Day is a great way to connect with nature, as well as helping create a cleaner environment. NBA Cares is currently hosting a way to support the environment by being a digital native. Retweet the following post to help connect with their cause online. https://twitter.com/nbacares/status/1385247017320927233 Amazon and other tech companies are working to reduce their carbon footprint. Scope out some updates they
Solar Energy Continues to Grow In Kansas During 2019 with the Johnson Corner Solar Project
This Project Would Use 86,000 Solar Panels To Generate Close To 55,000 Megawatt Hours Annually The pathway to more economically viable energy is taking shape in Western Kansas. An initiative known as the Johnson Corner Solar Project will be opening the largest solar power plant in the state of Kansas in 2019. Currently, Kansas produces 11.15 percent of renewable energy in regards to total energy production for the state. The state does have a strong wind energy sector, as well as biomass. This upcoming solar power project will produce a small fraction of total energy for Kansas, but is an excellent step in
Solar Power Panels and Production Will be Impacted the Most in California, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada
The Recent 30 Percent Increase to Solar Panel Imports Puts Clean Energy Jobs In Jeopardy The Trump Administration recently announced a 30 percent increase to solar panel imports, as well as approving multiple areas on the coastal region for offshore drilling. Americans from coast-to-coast are sick of one-sided news. It appears the main goal is to create sustainable, long-term jobs that will provide them with a healthy life. Take a look at some of the data that has been reported regarding jobs in connection with the recent tariff increase, as well as plans for offshore drilling. In 2018, it is
The Solar Eclipse May Impact Solar Power Panels around the Globe
The upcoming solar eclipse is making waves before the event happens on August 21. It is clear that the moon will block the sun for a period of time that day, but it is unclear how much solar power that will decrease over the day. A recent study by Bloomberg shows that close to 7 million homes would not be able to run on the 9,000 megawatts that may be unavailable during the solar eclipse for solar power consumers. The decrease in production will impact homeowners that consume and work with solar power. Depending on what part of the
Tesla and Solar City is Reshaping the Solar Power Industry
The future of clean energy has arrived with the latest roofing tiles from Tesla and Solar City. Bloomberg has recently reported that the company is producing roofing projects at $42 square foot including materials and labor. In October, Tesla will begin with production of two roofing tiles featuring a smooth glass and a textured glass tile. During a recent TED Talks discussion, Elon Musk shared insight on upcoming projects. Overall, Musk does an excellent job of showing how he refines a product or service. In each industry Musk refines and reforms modes of production. He has reduced the amount of
Frankfurt School-UNEP Centre Reports on Renewable Energy Data from 2016
The continuous energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is a complex and long-term paradigm shift. Recently, the UN Environment’s Economy Division in cooperation with Frankfurt SchoolUNEP Collaborating Centre for Climate & Sustainable Energy Finance and produced in collaboration with Bloomberg New Energy Finance, produced a report outlining some of the economic trends in renewable energy. Link to PDF of the report. They noted the positive and negative trends taking place in different sectors of energy production. The report notes: One of the up-and-coming innovations in renewable power is the siting of two different technologies in the same location,
UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Reviews Solar Power in Africa
Areas of Africa will soon be approaching the tipping point at which solar power will be cheaper and more affordable in comparison to fossil fuels. In a recent report, UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that Africa will be tripling its electricity demand by 2030. As the cost for renewable energy continues to decrease with the increase of demand and advancements in solar cell technology, the expansion of renewable in developing areas continues to increase. “The surprising find is that the wind and solar resources in Africa are absolutely gigantic, and something you could tap into for
Scientists in Norway Developing Eco-Friendly Solar Cells with Enhanced Efficiency
Energy production is in a major state of transition. Technology companies such as Apple, Google, Tesla and Amazon are all investing in solar power. This is taking place at the same time as a preliminary budget has been sent to Congress that would defund the Environmental Protection Agency. The large tech companies are aware of the benefits to renewable energy. They have a large demand for power to cool their servers. Apple has reported to have had an excess amount of energy at times for utilizing renewable energy. The debate on cost for solar energy is over. Research how
Project Sunroof by Google Provides Insight on Solar Power Production in the United States
Google and Project Sunroof recently collected data on the areas in the United States that would be the most viable to produce solar power energy. They collected data covering over 60 million buildings. This project does an excellent job of locating and connecting with the cities that can have the biggest impact against carbon emissions caused by climate change. They released the top ten cities with the highest potential for solar power production. Those cities include: Houston Los Angeles Phoenix San Antonio New York San Diego Jacksonville Oklahoma City Dallas Albuquerque Google also reported data from their nationwide research.
