Ford has just tapped four dealerships to receive micro wind turbines in a first-of-its-kind partnership with the aptly named company Wind Energy Corporation, and we are already convinced this is just the first tiny ripple in a massive wave of wind energy installations at Ford locations. The new vertical-design turbines spell out Ford in big,

We've been hearing a lot about robot swarms, biomimicry, and drones the size of insects, so it was only a matter of time before swarms of tiny flying robot drones hit the skies. Called micro air vehicles or micro aerial vehicles (MAVs), the latest development is an upcoming test of bee-inspired mechanical critters by the

Holy gilding the lily, Batman! Researchers at Australia's Queensland University of Technology are hot on the trail of a new energy storage concept that melds our two favorite next-millennium nanomaterials, graphene and carbon nanotubes, and combines them with the current gold standard in electric vehicle technology, which would be a lithium-ion battery. The end result would

Now that the Army's ambitious Net Zero initiative has passed the pilot stage with flying colors, planners have been gearing up for the next steps.  One of them involves expanding from a nine-part demonstration field to encompass scores of other Army facilities, but that's just for starters.

Caltech and AMOLF partner up in new way to generate electrical charge from metal exposed to light...
We've been keeping tabs on the plasmonics scene for a while and we just got wind of an interesting new development from the Netherlands in partnership with Caltech. If the Netherlands connection doesn't exactly ring your bells, recall that Caltech is the institutional home of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is heavily invested in the

This organization called Advanced Energy Economy (AEE) just crossed our radar, and since its membership includes SolarCity, GE, Microsoft, Philips, Verizon, and a few score other corporate sluggers we're going to pick apart some energy storage news it passed along last week. Specifically, AEE is all excited over a

Our friends over at Renewable Energy World have tipped us to an epic battle that's brewing over DRECP, the proposed Desert Renewable Energy and Conservation Plan for California. This document, five years in the making, could severely curtail the development of utility scale solar power plants and wind farms on federal lands in California. At first
