Virtually, every aspect of our lives in this digitized world needs energy. Alternative energy solutions are now available and more are on their way.

People Planet Profit

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar Power | Business Development, Commentary
The best solutions come from within the community, working on the ground with dedicated entrepreneurs and local groups, who best understand the needs of their community.

Sustainable Patriotism

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar Power | Commentary
Do something Sustainable (and thus Patriotic) every day. Take a simple walk instead of taking "a ride," invest in renewable by installing solar or wind, or buying green from your utility, use a compact fluorescent bulb, buy local vegetables, switch to a bio-fuel, trade in that gas hog for something clean and efficient.

The Importance of Watersheds to Your Community

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar Power | Green Building Articles
Thinking on the scale of a watershed is useful for environmental work as we can scale things down for planning purposes, and therefore have a greater impact on the environment.

The World Needs Gigawatts not Megawatts

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar Power | Analysis and Trends, Photovoltaic Systems
If the Photovoltaics industry is going to play a significant role in worldwide electricity production in the future it all comes down to one word - scalability, the ability of a technology to expand its production capacity to very large sizes, thereby enabling significant cost decreases.

Transportation for a Clean Planet

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Energy Storage, Other Renewables | Systems, Vehicles | Maxwell Technologies, Inc.
Since successful testing in 2003, ISE has incorporated ultracapacitors into its gasoline, diesel and fuel-cell hybrid electric vehicles with extraordinary results.

Ultracapacitors Double Life of Wave Measurement Buoys

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Energy Storage | Technology Discussions, ultracapacitors | Maxwell Technologies, Inc.
By working together with a primary battery, the ultracapacitors have helped to at least double the lifetime, which means that battery life no longer determines the service interval for the buoy.

What's ahead for neighborhood electric vehicles?

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar Power | Vehicles
