Americans Getting More Of Their Energy From Renewable Sources
2013-07-19 16:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
redOrbit: An increasing amount of the energy used each year in the US is coming from renewable sources such as solar panels and wind turbines, according to new research released Thursday by scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). According to the laboratory`s energy charts, wind power led the way, increasing from 1.17 quadrillion British Thermal Units (BTU) produced in 2011, called quads for short, to 1.36 quads in 2012. A BTU is a unit of measurement for energy, and LLNL officials...

Renewable Energy Races Ahead as Nuclear and Fossil Fuels Falter
2013-07-17 22:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: The case for renewable energy received a boost this week as the wind industry revealed that over 1 gigawatt (GW) of offshore wind capacity--enough to power up to 1 million homes--was connected to the European grid over the first half of 2013. This is almost double the amount added during the same period last year, a rise which has been driven in large part by growth in the UK. The UK led the way with 146 turbines boasting 514 megwatts (MW) of capacity connected from a series of new wind farms,...

Campaign to roll back state renewable programs is a flop so far
2013-07-15 21:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: State laws requiring utilities to sell a certain percentage of clean energy have been attacked across the nation over the past year. But these renewable portfolio standards have been holding their own just fine. Not only were all of the legislative efforts to roll back such standards defeated, but some states actually strengthened their laws, requiring still more clean energy to flow through the grid. From Bloomberg: None of the 26 bills to roll back requirements passed before most state legislature...
