Improvements in Solar PV Come in Many Dimensions
We all know that our world is becoming increasingly capable of migrating away from fossil fuels, and the plummeting costs of renewable energy are the chief driver. But what factors lie behind this declining cost structure? Actually, there are several.
In the world of solar PV, one of the key issues is scale, i.e., the benefits that accrue to mass production. But, arguably, advancements in materials science, at least in the long-run, will be of even greater value. (more…)
As you read this post, the crew aboard the 
I’m rooting hard for my friends at hydrokinetic start-up Littoral Power Solutions to develop their product quickly and get into the game while there is still time. There is never a good time for dawdling in the renewable energy industry, and that’s especially true given the progress that 
Environmental engineering primarily touches two sub-fields, civil engineering and biology. But each of these, in turn, is very broad. The field applies to everything from our global environment on down to the local level and interacts with other disciplines as diverse as space science, climatology, architecture, and geology. We notice it most at the local level, where we live.

It’s strange that such good news on a grand scale can receive so little coverage in the mainstream media.
