Airborne Wind Turbines
In my first phone call with 2GreenEnergy associate Dr. Peter Lilienthal, he made a remark I’ll never forget: “If you don’t care what you pay for it, Craig, I’ll find you all the renewable energy you could possibly want.” He …
Solar Power Is One Step Closer To Grid Parity
We hear a lot about grid parity, don’t we? That’s the point at which the cost of energy generated by solar, wind, and other renewables is the same as that generated from conventional sources. The author of this article on …
