Clean Energy Paradoxically Through Old Sources

The emphasis from the Obama’s administration has been to create employment through energy sources. In one of the President speech he said that “I am convinced that whoever builds a clean energy economy, whoever is at the forefront of that, is going to own the 21st-century global economy,” and to a certain the degree this [...]

Make Maximum Use of Solar Energy; Use Molten Salt for Night Generation

There are many conductors of heat; molten salt is one, which can store the heat that the sun provides during the day. This energy can thereafter be used in the night to provide electricity. In the vicinity of Granada, in Spain around 28,000 metric tons of salt, is present in the pipelines along a power [...]

Batteries can make Renewable Energy Revolutionary

Solar systems previously considered a luxury is now at the verge of falling prices and increasing demands. Solar photovoltaic (PV) has been indubitable expensive for years; it was as high as $8 per watt. The price has now fallen significantly to around $2 per watt. This progress has been met through improved production methods. It [...]
