(Natural News) While most know it as one of the scariest and most influential organizations on Earth, the World Bank is a tremendous force for good. At least, it’s actively trying to be, as evidenced by its latest move to announce that it will be cutting the money supply to oil and gas exploration projects […]

(Natural News) While solar energy is a clean source of energy, not everyone can afford the often expensive installation costs. Now, a recent article has revealed that we might soon be able to harness solar energy from hot pavements. Samer Dessouky, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at The University of Texas at San […]

(Natural News) Applying pressure to a protein found in tears, milk, and egg whites has been shown to generate electricity, according to a study published in Applied Physics Letters.  A team of researchers from the Bernal Institute at the University of Limerick in Ireland has recently discovered that electricity can be produced by pressing crystals of lysozyme, a protein that can be found in […]

(Natural News) Renewable energy is a type of energy that can be collected from natural sources, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. It is also believed to have a much lower environmental impact compared to conventional energy technology, and because of this governments continue to lean towards renewable energy sources. Apparently, […]

(Natural News) Blockchain technology, the same database system that drives Bitcoin, is now being used to transform the energy sector. A consortium of concerned citizens have proposed a community microgrid iteration that allows people to bid for and sell solar energy to their neighbors. Brooklyn-based LO3 Energy seeks to create a series of local energy […]

(Natural News) Evaporation shows potential as another source of renewable energy and may one day be harnessed to power nearly three-quarters of the United States, a study in the Nature Communications journal has revealed. A team of researchers at the Columbia University has found that lakes and water reservoirs in the U.S. could generate as much as 325 gigawatts of power, […]

(Natural News) Staying cool during hot or humid weather without racking up a hefty electricity bill could be a reality in the near future. A team of researchers from Stanford University have developed a passive cooling system that sends excess heat towards outer space. Since almost no energy is required to keep them functional, these […]

(Natural News) Nuclear fusion has long been eyed as a potential source for limitless clean energy, yet the complexity behind its process made it unfeasible for some time. However, this may all change soon. A team of researchers hailing from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has found a way to bring us one step […]

(Natural News) The average onshore wind turbine is a good source of energy, but the same can’t be said of their smaller cousins. To some, the smaller, cylindrical wind turbines are too inefficient to be of any real use. To others, that need not be the case. Lam Nguyen and Meredith Metzger, both mechanical engineers […]

(Natural News) The United Kingdom has too much renewable energy and may have to limit the amount of green energy it produces during the summer months, according to a report by the National Grid released earlier this month. Over the past few years, the U.K. has spent a lot of effort in reducing its carbon […]
