An eye-opening report reveals how low-grade plastics are burned as fuel, poisoning the surrounding soil and air.
This clever replacement window expands out to create a private semi-outdoor space for people who don't have a balcony.
State regulators have found boron, arsenic, selenium and other toxic metals near 14 power plants, all in excess of state health standards.
Do you know how much of the so-called green or cool architecture is often for expensive hotels, government or office buildings? Well, in this case, it's the complete opposite.
A relatively new test detected horse meat in European hamburger. We wonder: how do they test this? Could it happen in America? What happens to all the recalled food?
Would you go stinky for steak? By skipping 26 showers for every 4 oz hamburger you eat, you can offset the water used to produce it.
They were taught that their children needed fresh cool air in order to thrive. It would be pretty healthy for their carbon footprint too.
Scientists find that wind power farms don't harm this at-risk species, a bit of surprise because other studies have shown that oil and gas development does affect prairie chickens.
These architects propose building a living space into the nacelle of giant offshore wind turbines. What could go wrong?
Crowdfunding the latest gizmo is one way to be an early adopter, but all you get out of it is a gadget. Crowdfunding a renewable energy project, on the other hand, could deliver clean energy to your home.
While large wind turbines remain the dominant force in wind power, wider adoption may lie with small-scale turbines fit for urban and low wind conditions.
One of the big NIMBY complaints about wind turbines is the constant blinking lights that make them visible to aircraft. A new sensor system would eliminate the nuisance, lighting the turbines only when planes are approaching.
Fairbanks, Alaska, will be home to the demonstration project of the next generation Buoyant Airborne Turbine, which will fly 1000 feet off the ground.
Inspired by bird wings, this unique wind generator is claimed to efficiently harvest energy, even from low wind conditions.
Who says you can't take it with you? This micro wind turbine folds into a foot-long cylinder for a portable solution to charging gadgets with clean renewable energy.
If you're interested in learning how to build your own renewable energy devices, this DIY vertical axis wind turbine is a great place to start.
The WindPax wind generator fits neatly into a backpack for hiking or can be used in the backyard too.
The Nautilus shell-shaped turbines could fit on rooftops of houses or buildings in urban environments.
A recycling center’s turbine could pave the way for industrial-scale wind power in New York City.
At the risk of getting slammed with comments claiming that small wind turbines aren't viable, here's a look at another bladeless wind generator hoping to disrupt the wind energy industry.
The SolarMill, a 1.2 kW combination wind and solar energy system, will be sold in the U.S. for about $3000.
Scientists are working to harness the secret of owls' silent flights to build quieter wind power technology.
A new study says that placing turbines under these high, already-built structures could be an easy way to incorporate wind energy in areas around the world.
When wind speeds are higher than a turbine can effectively use, the extra energy is stored for when the wind slows.
Four sizes of micro-turbines, designed to be portable personal wind energy stations, are in the works from Janulus.
That's two and a half times longer than any existing wind turbine blade and that's not all that makes it unique.
Lightweight, collapsible, and quick to deploy, this little wind generator might be a viable off-grid portable power source in places where solar isn't appropriate.
At 100 meters in diameter, wind turbines really are getting monstrously large. So what do they look like close up?
The world's most powerful wind turbine to date backs up its massive size with serious power output.
One of America's fastest growing professions, wind turbine technician, attracts people with a unique set of skills, as demonstrated by climber and composer Jessica Kilroy.
The resin reduces the energy needed to manufacture turbine blades and allows them to be recycled.
There is either a giant contradiction here in Ontario's Prince Edward County or I am missing something.
In the face of a devastating epidemic, bats need our tender loving care more than ever. If one sneaks inside, here's how to remove it without toxicants or harm.
A study of the impact of small residential wind turbine installations on local wildlife populations shows a potential loss of habitat for bats and a steep reduction in activity around the units.
Brazil's economy is growing fast, and it is expected to need an increase of 50% in power generation capacity over the next decade.
As alternatives to Big Oil and Big Coal emerge, it would be a mistake for executives to rely on loyalty or love from the public.
