Future technology may allow you to step into the sunlight and recharge a cellphone PITTSBURGH—Developing solar energy that is low-cost, lightweight, and energy efficient has proven to be one of the greatest challenges the science world faces today. Although current plastic solar cells are low in cost and easy to produce, they are not energy efficient and, therefore, not easily …

It is pretty amazing how much of a significant difference wind turbines can have, of course you have to think about certain factors. Changing wind power into electrical energy is actually the purpose of wind generators. If you envision a plane propeller sitting on top of a tall tower, this is exactly what a turbine looks like. When the wind …

By Elisa Wood Fortunately for the rest of us, some people missed the message, the one that says we’re in an economic slide so slippery there is no climbing back up. I had a chance to speak to several of these optimists recently. No, they are not members of the Pollyanna Club; they are green energy entrepreneurs, those who are …
