I was talking recently to a scientist working at a preeminent research facility. He has a master’s in environmental science, but the only job he could get was analyzing coal samples. A little bit of cognitive dissonance going on here. It made me wonder how many people in industries allied to the fossil fuel industries […]

I’m a big evangelist for hang-drying laundry. It’s the original form of solar energy, in which you use the sun to dry your clothes instead of an energy hungry dryer. Dryers account for something like 3% of all electricity usage (equivalent to all the solar panels currently installed) in the US, and hang-drying is a […]

Researchers have developed floating “artificial leaves” that generate clean fuels from sunlight and water, and could eventually operate on a large scale at sea. Floating 'artificial leaves' that generate clean fuels from sunlight and water have been developed by a team from @ReisnerLab. They could be used to generate a sustainable alternative to petrol without […]
