Irish Times: Bill McKibben had the first hybrid electric car in Vermont. His home in the countryside of the American state is covered in solar panels, and has all the right lights, but, he says, I dont try to fool myself thats how well solve climate change. Described by Time magazine as the planets best green journalist, and by the Boston Globe as the United States most distinguished environmentalist, McKibben will make his first visit to Ireland next week, to speak at Meeting the Challenge of Climate...

Chemists devise technology could transform solar energy storage
2015-06-19 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The materials in most of today's residential rooftop solar panels can store energy from the sun for only a few microseconds at a time. A new technology developed by chemists at UCLA is capable of storing solar energy for up to several weeks -- an advance that could change the way scientists think about designing solar cells. The findings are published June 19 in the journal Science. The new design is inspired by the way that plants generate energy through photosynthesis. 'Biology does a...
