2010/11/23, SISEKO NJOBENI THE capital costs of photovoltaic plants have fallen more than 40% in the past two years because of the growth of the industry, says the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association. The lower capital costs put photovoltaic on an equal footing with other solar technologies, the association said yesterday. Photovoltaic technology is traditionally more expensive compared to other solar technologies, and involves the conversion of solar radiation into. . . CONTINUE

october 26, 2010 According to a Stanford University research team, thin-film solar cells whose efficiency exceeds by ten times current highest estimates can be developed by using nanostructured polymeric materials. Within a limited time lapse, it will be possible to manufacture thin-film solar photovoltaic cells capable of absorbing an amount of energy that will be ten or even twelve times higher than current estimates. The latter is stated by a. . . CONTINUE

Gradually, the word of John Bedini’s success in ‘industrializing’ Tesla’s radiant energy technology is leaking out One thing came out very clearly: every time when we locked into the [Radiant] “free energy” all commonly known physical laws are no longer valid. The things happening react directly opposite to what one would expect. Specifically the more we loaded. . . CONTINUE
guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 3 August 2010 New analysis shows that government support for fossil fuel industry is about 10 times that offered to renewable energy firms Despite repeated pledges to phase out fossil fuel subsidies and criticism from some quarters that government support for renewable energy technologies is too generous, global subsidies provided to renewable energy and biofuels are dwarfed by those enjoyed by the fossil fuel industry.

by Nino Marchetti, June 1st, 2010 While the development of large scale renewable energy projects is well and good for large population centers, some might argue that future types of energy sources like solar and wind will not truly see their potential until they come to small town America. If this is indeed the case, Painesville, Ohio and its new corporate renewable energy partner NexGen Energy, very well could be. . . CONTINUE
By T. Boone Pickens – 05-20-2010 Without minimizing the environmental issues involved in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, let’s focus on the economics of the situation. This accident has not disrupted the 19 million barrels of oil we used every day in April – 12.3 million of which was imported oil. In the weeks since the accident, crude oil prices have actually dropped about $15 per barrel – which. . . CONTINUE

Apr. 25, 2010, By STEVE EVERLY, The Kansas City Star The prospects for solar energy in the Midwest are brightening. Surprised? You shouldn’t be. The Midwest gets plenty of sunshine – more than Germany, which uses more solar power than any other country. Kansas City has the same percentage of annual sunshine as San Antonio, for example, and Dodge City, Kan., has as much as Miami. And the big cost. . . CONTINUE
