Ireland's wind farms are facing varied and time-consuming problems in reaching EU proposals on renewable energy. By 2020 Ireland has to cut carbon emissions by 20% and increase renewable energy to 16%. To meet the targets, between 300 and 400 MW need to be connected to the grid annually, however last year only 58 MW of wind energy was added reports the Sunday business Post.
It is great to see that we Americans finally have some national unity on energy policy. Unfortunately, the unifying idea is so ridiculous, so unworthy of the people aspiring to lead the United States, it takes your breath away.
The International Energy Agency, an organization that monitors the energy market of industrialized countries, has reprimanded Finland for subsidizing the electricity generated from peat-fired power
The world's largest tidal turbine, weighing 1,000 tonnes, has been installed in Northern Ireland's Strangford Lough. It is the first commercial tidal turbine, which will generate enough energy
Is my sustainability work consonant with the gravity of the climate crisis and the urgency of the ecological challenges we face? At Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), as a complement to our work on renewable energy hedges, we are working to transform energy use on campus. One project underway is a system of grid-tied electric vehicles (Vehicle to Grid or V2G) combined with a solar photovoltaic charging system and smart computer control.
By improving energy efficiency - using less energy to perform the same tasks - global ener- gy demand could be reduced by 12 per cent by 2030, saving $766 billion in building new energy infrastructure. For every $1 invested in improving energy efficiency, we would save more than $2 in infrastructure investment BY NOELEEN HEYZER
