Wave energy integration costs should compare favorably to other energy sources
A new analysis suggests that large-scale wave energy systems developed in the Pacific Northwest should be comparatively steady, dependable and able to be integrated into the overall energy grid at lower costs than some other forms of alternative energy, including wind power.
Chaos continues within SunEdison’s C-suite
The chaos continues at SunEdison, with Francisco “Pancho” Perez, the company’s chief operating officer and executive vice president, and Steve Tesoriere, an activist investor on SunEdison’s board of directors since 2012, both unexpectedly leaving the company with no explanation given.

Solar generators convert solar energy into electricity using a collection of solar cells. These cells also known as photovoltaic cells and are placed in solar panels. These panels are usually…
Wind turbines: Generating eco-friendly power with metal rotor blades
Wind turbines deliver environmentally friendly electricity. Yet the fiber-reinforced plastics often used in very large rotor blades are almost impossible to recycle. Not so with steel blades: since these are composed of steel, their recyclability exceeds 90 percent. Plus they cost significantly less than comparable plastic blades.
First superconducting graphene created by researchers
Graphene, the ultra-thin, ultra-strong material made from a single layer of carbon atoms, just got a little more extreme. Physicists have been able to create the first ever superconducting graphene sample by coating it with lithium atoms.
