Piezoelectric materials are those that, when physically deformed by an external force, produce small amounts of energy. Here’s an article that suggests that pavements constructed of these materials could be used to offset the burning of fossil fuels in the …

There are currently 455 registered guest bloggers at 2GreenEnergy, perhaps 40 or so of whom are currently active. Though I’m sure I’m wrong, I imagine them to be hip, relaxed young people, sitting on beaches, perhaps sipping cool beverages, making …
Pollution is eating away at Nature and destroying the Mother Earth! Would you not agree? So, how about you get to help out in reducing it? Oh, also make some cash in the process. Sounds like a good deal, right?
We don’t have infinite resources on the Earth. Thus, the necessity to effectively make use of the resources our environment affords us is essential for future years of not only our very own way of life, however the broader ecosystem …

I’ll keep this short, as I don’t want to gild the lily; the amazing Gus Speth nailed it. We either reverse this trend toward tribalism and selfishness, and learn to work together as a species, or we’re cooked. (Larger version below.)
Here’s something a reader sent me, a variation on the theme of capturing and reusing the energy dissipated from the activities of the human body. In this case, it’s a door whose hinge contains a generator. Hey, no one says …
We use energy every day – for powering our electronic devices, cooking or cooling our food, lighting up our streets and houses, etc. Most of that energy comes from fossil fuels like coal, gas, and oil. Unfortunately, those sources are …

Maybe it’s the drugs. Maybe it’s the anti-intellectual culture. Maybe it’s the budget cuts to public education. Who knows? One thing’s for certain: we live in a time in which many people have lost the willingness and ability to think …

The passing of Stephen Hawking reminds me of a question I’ve asked myself many times: Why is it that brilliant physicists happen to be progressives? As discussed here: Hawking supported a boycott of Israel by academia, citing the nation’s treatment of Palestinians, …

As GreenTechMedia reports, carbon capture and sequestration is a subject of growing interest. There are two main classes of ideas surrounding CCS: those that address point sources of CO2, e.g., concrete manufacturing facilities and fossil fuel power plants, and those that …
