| Comparing state solar policies to determine equation for solar market success Posted: 16 Dec 2014 08:30 AM PST Scientists have used statistical analyses and detailed case studies to better understand why solar market policies in certain states are more successful. Their findings indicate that while no standard formula for solar implementation exists, a combination of foundational policies and localized strategies can increase solar photovoltaic installations in any state.  |
| Future batteries: Lithium-sulfur with a graphene wrapper Posted: 16 Dec 2014 08:27 AM PST What do you get when you wrap a thin sheet of the "wonder material" graphene around a novel multifunctional sulfur electrode that combines an energy storage unit and electron/ion transfer networks? An extremely promising electrode structure design for rechargeable lithium-sulfur batteries.  |
| Composite plane life cycle assessment shows lighter planes are the future Posted: 16 Dec 2014 07:05 AM PST A global fleet of composite planes could reduce carbon emissions by up to 15 percent, but the lighter planes alone will not enable the aviation industry to meet its emissions targets, according to new research.  |
| Switching to vehicles powered by electricity from renewables could save lives Posted: 15 Dec 2014 03:53 PM PST Driving vehicles that use electricity from renewable energy instead of gasoline could reduce the resulting deaths due to air pollution by 70 percent. This finding comes from a new life cycle analysis of conventional and alternative vehicles and their air pollution-related public health impacts. The study also shows that switching to vehicles powered by electricity made using natural gas yields large health benefits.  |
| Techniques for minimizing environmental impacts of fracking Posted: 15 Dec 2014 07:16 AM PST Natural gas power plants emit less carbon dioxide than coal power plants, but must be carefully managed to prevent air and water pollution.  |
| Nuclear should be in the energy mix for biodiversity Posted: 15 Dec 2014 06:41 AM PST Leading conservation scientists from around the world have called for a substantial role for nuclear power in future energy-generating scenarios in order to mitigate climate change and protect biodiversity.  |
