Solar power is neither as clean nor as sustainable as environmentalists make it out to be
With Big Solar on the rise, experts fear that the world could be facing a solar panel waste problem. In 2019 alone, solar panel producers worldwide installed a whopping 114.9 gigawatts (GW) of new solar power, according to a recent report from the Paris-based organization International Energy Agency (IEA). This figure corresponds to a 12 percent increase from 2018, […]

Plant-based power: Researchers monitor remote rainforests by plugging in camera traps to PLANTS
Conservationists working at the London Zoo are busy cultivating Pete, a maidenhair fern that will hopefully be able to take photos that can help scientists monitor remote areas of rainforests all over the world. The current trial is hoping to develop a way to use plants that can generate enough electricity to power equipment used by conservationists […]

Carbon dioxide may be the key to unlocking vast natural gas resources, research says
Carbon dioxide may be used to help produce natural gas from deposits buried deep beneath the Earth. A recent study is proposing that air and carbon dioxide injected into methane ice deposits that are buried beneath the Gulf of Mexico could unlock vast natural energy resources. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) […]

Electricity in unlikely places: Rock surfaces throughout the planet may act as natural solar panels
Rocks might not strike you as a potential source of clean and renewable energy, much less a substitute for solar panels. But Chinese researchers found that some stones sport metallic coats that naturally convert sunlight into electricity via the same process as photosynthetic organisms. The coating contains iron and manganese, two minerals used in photovoltaic […]

Harvard study finds that wind turbines create MORE global warming than the fossil fuels they eliminate – and the same is true for scooters and electric cars
Researchers from Harvard University have made an interesting and hilarious discovery with regards to wind power, which actually causes more global warming than the burning of fossil fuels does. While massive wind farms are said by some to be the “renewable” energy source of the future, two Harvard scientists have found that the spinning blades […]

Scientists synthesize eco-friendly lubricant oils from sustainable, organic waste
Lubricants are a key ingredient in making sure modern technology runs smoothly. It’s used in cars, home appliances, and industrial machinery – pretty much everything that has an engine. But while they’re helpful, mineral oil can heavily pollute the environment. The most common alternative, synthetic base oil, is unlikely to completely replace mineral oil due […]

A future dominated by electric vehicles is a slow, inefficient future that tortures the planet and the people
According to the New Green Deal, electric cars are the future and they will soon replace gas-powered, combustion engines. This “green” technology supposedly produces “zero greenhouse gas emissions” and will help save the world from the throes of climate change. This sales pitch, adopted by Democrats in the 2020 election cycle, couldn’t be further from […]
