Think Greener in Couthuin, Belgium
Renewable Energy is here to stay! I have stated that before and will continue to do so. The cost for producing electricity via wind and solar continues to drop making it America’s fastest growing energy source.
The next hurdle, we are about to clear, is creating cheap sustainable energy storage technologies. Energy storage can come in many different shapes and forms. Scientists at NREL are working on ways to increase the ability for alkaline batteries to hold a longer charge while used in small electronics and in Lithium-ion batteries to help power laptops and electric vehicles.
As scientist create these new technologies, they are already thinking about the supply chain and the raw material required for production, such as how… Continue reading
The time has come to welcome a new revolution regarding renewable energy! I always knew we would get there, although it has been a steep slope to climb with phasing out the world’s dependency on fossil fuels. Humanities work to restore our ecosystem is not done yet. We must continue to educate and promote sustainability and equal human rights to create a just future! Now more than ever, we have a global commitment to help reverse climate change. With buy in from governments around the world the existing solutions and pathways are being adopted on a global scale. In previous blogs, Think Greener shines the spotlight on new solutions that are on the horizon. All these new pathways are allowing for the traditional means of… Continue reading
I am excited to tell you about an incredible scalable sustainable solution that can solve humanities problem for energy demand here on Earth by harnessing it from outer space!
Yes, that’s right! The Donald Bren Foundation and Caltech have embarked on an ambitious project, a transformative approach to large scale solar energy harvesting technology, capable of generating solar power in space and beaming it back to Earth in a form of a radio wave.
Wow…. This is a game changer and must-read article! The article also has an incredible video that captures the technology and provides a great visualization!
Think Greener and Live in the Future
New advancement for an old technology that will help the world achieve carbon neutrality. Thankfully, the solar industry is in high demand and the price per watt continues to drop allowing for photovoltaic (PV) solar technology to compete with the cheap cost of oil and gas.
As America continues to grow independent of other countries technology and resources, it increases job opportunities within the green sector. There is a large solar manufacture here in the US banking on moving away from the dominant crystalline silicon solar panel that is produced mainly in China and covers most rooftops, open land, and deserts around the world.
Cadmium telluride solar technology is a thin film that can be flexible if needed and has been around for some time.… Continue reading
