New Materials Promise to Dramatically Drop Photovoltaic Prices
2013-04-11 12:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: What is the single most significant barrier to widespread use of alternative energy? Is it the right wing climate change skeptics? No. It's economics. If there is not money to be made at the same scale as in the fossil fuel industry, and if renewable, clean energy does not become cheaper than fossil fuels, alternative energy doesn't stand a chance in the free market. As technology moves often faster than society, politics, culture, etc., the economics of alternative energy look brighter and brighter....

Global solar photovoltaic industry is likely now a net energy producer
2013-04-09 23:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The rapid growth of the solar power industry over the past decade may have exacerbated the global warming situation it was meant to soothe, simply because most of the energy used to manufacture the millions of solar panels came from burning fossil fuels. That irony, according to Stanford University researchers, is coming to an end. For the first time since the boom started, the electricity generated by all of the world's installed solar photovoltaic (PV) panels last year probably surpassed the...

Global Solar Photovoltaic Industry Becomes Net Energy Producer
2013-04-08 15:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment News Service: The rapid growth of the solar power industry over the past 10 years may have worsened the global warming situation it was meant to ease, as the energy used to manufacture the millions of solar panels now generating electricity around the world came from burning fossil fuels. Stanford University researchers have calculated that imbalance is now history and the global PV industry could pay off its debt of energy as early as 2015, and no later than 2020. REC Solar employees Brian Webster, left,...
