Is Biomass Heating Really Carbon Friendly?

09/29/14, 09:22 AM | EVs and Fuel Cells | Commentary

For people who use coal or oil for heating, switching to biomass will certainly reduce carbon emissions as long as there is a program in place for sustainable management of the resource.

Look, Ma… No Wires!

09/29/14, 09:22 AM | Solar Power | Photovoltaic Systems

There are an estimated 43 million street lights in the USA and at least 55 million parking lot and parkway lights. Since they combine to use about 10% of all the electricity consumed in the USA, taking them to LED is a step in the right direction but going all the way to zero energy use is even better.
