The 10 pre-competitive CRSP projects include eight new research proposals and two renewals of projects funded last year. Since its inception in April 2008, CRSP has funded two rounds of [...]
Robert Kennedy Jr. won’t rest until his vision for a green economy is heard. He’s been visiting college campuses across the country speaking about the environment, energy, and the economy. “Sound economic and environmental policies are intrinsically tied, and energy providers should reward customers for conserving power rather than consuming it,” Kennedy recently told a [...]

The year 2009 started off with a bang for the clean energy industries — encompassing energy efficiency, renewable energy, clean distributed generation — for manufacturers, project developers, installers — the whole family of industries. President Obama assumed office in January ‘09 and by February the Stimulus Bill (ARRA) was signed into law, extending the portfolio of clean energy tax credits, but also setting in motion billions of dollars of loan guarantees and grants.
Washington, D.C. (Date TK) – This week world leaders gathering in Copenhagen for the United Nations Climate Change Conference have a winning view of Denmark’s famous wind turbines and recognize them as a light of hope in this time of crisis. But they should also feel the geothermal heat that is part of the solution for Copenhagen and for cities and countries around the world. In fact, Copenhagen could meet 50% of its district heating needs by using its geothermal resources. With Copenhagen in the spotlight as a shining example of geothermal’s potential, GEA has identified a list of leading geothermal cities around the globe.
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Steven Chu announced today the selection of five projects to receive more than $20.5 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to support deployment of community-based renewable energy projects, such as biomass, wind, and solar installations. These projects will promote investment in clean energy infrastructure that will create [...]
Utility Leaders David Crane, Anthony Earley and David Ratcliffe to Discuss Industry Response to Sweeping Law Changes. Congress is set to possibly adopt the most sweeping environmental and energy law in generations to address issues such as energy efficiency, renewables development and carbon emissions. Caught in this tidal wave of change are utilities and energy [...]

Greentech Media, which tracks and reports on private capital investments in green technologies such as solar, wind, geothermal, and software-driven “smart” technologies intended to more precisely and efficiently coordinate energy management efforts, said back in October that venture capital investments in these new technologies designed to diminish the use of oil, coal, and aging electrical [...]
Geothermal energy is getting to be so popular that the EPA has now issued new criteria that will enable new geothermal energy units to legally “wear” the Energy Star certification. Geothermal energy is quickly rising in popularity because it simply draws upon the constant heat radiated out of the Earth’s core. Energy doesn’t get much [...]
