ELECTRIC VEHICLE SALES TO FALL 18% IN 2020 BUT LONG-TERM PROSPECTS REMAIN UNDIMMED
Sales of electric passenger vehicles are forecast to fall 18% in 2020, to 1.7 million worldwide - with the coronavirus crisis interrupting ten successive years of strong growth.
Disadvantages to Using Renewables Over Traditional Fuel Sources
There are advantages and disadvantages to any type of energy source. In this article, I will discuss the disadvantages of renewable energy. Wind energy is one universally used type of renewable energy. It is also one of the fastest spreading resources for electricity. But . . .
COVID-19 Erases Five Years of Solar Job Growth
All 50 states show solar jobs losses, with 36 states suffering job losses above 30%. Seven states and Washington, DC- including large solar states like New York and New Jersey- have seen solar job losses exceed 60%.
Improving Deep-Cycle Batteries Through Additives
Battery manufacturers have improved deep cycle battery performance through the use of additives, but not all of them result in the same benefit to customers.
America Has Lost 594,300 Clean Energy Jobs; 850,000 Expected by June 30
• 447,208 new unemployment filings in April, triple March claims
• CA, FL, GA, TX, MI, NC, WA, NY, OH among hardest hit states

Biogas as a Blending Gas to Decarbonize Natural Gas Networks
Several contributions from the farmers, research institutes and the
industry has led to the production of biogas as a mature technology, the purification process of biogas has been made simpler and a wide variety of substrates or raw materials are being used in the process.
Floating Wind Farms on an Upward Wave
Now, however, many green energy companies are looking toward a new kind of offshore wind turbine that won't need a concrete foundation. This new technology allows a turbine to float instead of sitting on the ocean floor.
A Bright Idea - Helping the Next Generation Create a Sustainable Future
This shift in focus is redefining engineering by providing us with a new set of challenges. In the past engineers focused on making sure their machines were safe for workers, we're now having to think of ways to make sure industry processes are safe for the entire planet.
Startup Lowering Construction Costs for Hydropower Plant
Hydropower may become less costly as startups are beginning to use pre-existing facilities and discontinue dam building. Thus, construction costs would be minimal and engineers could implement hydropower on a much larger scale.
