(Natural News) Solar power is one of the most eco-friendly sources of energy. If you plan to live off the grid, you might want to consider solar power as a sustainable source of clean energy. The initial investment might cost you a hefty sum at first, but you will be able to save on your utility […]

(Natural News) The energy sector might be getting closer to developing a new fuel source by converting water into hydrogen fuel using solar energy. Researchers at Masdar Institute and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have looked into the potential of using catalysts to facilitate faster and more efficient water splitting process and making it more sustainable […]

(Natural News) A recent study that was published on the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences website revealed a new way of producing ethanol without the need for corn or other crops, providing a new avenue for sustainable ethanol production. Vehicles in the United States run on a fuel blend consisting of 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent […]

(Natural News) There’s nothing “The Man” (Corporate America) hates worse than people living “off the grid.” Whether you choose not to use city water, corporate electricity, cable television, cell phone towers, modern plumbing, or even the local grocery stores and pharmacies, being self-sufficient and thrifty is a capitalistic sin in this country. God forbid you […]

(Natural News) A joint effort between American and Saudi Arabian researchers produced a gadget that combines the functions of a battery and a solar cell. They reported that their “solar flow battery” can absorb sunlight, convert it into chemical energy, and hold the energy until there is need for it. The Science Daily article explained […]

(Natural News) Scientists from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have just discovered a way to build thinner but more efficient solar panels, able to harness more power from the sun than current and conventional solar cells. The new technology is a perovskite-CIGS tandem solar cell, which means it is composed of two layers. On top […]

(Natural News) Water is already a vital component of human life, but scientists have found yet another use for it — as a source of clean fuel. It comprises two oxygen atoms and a hydrogen atom — the latter, in particular, is an increasingly popular energy source because it is easily stored and holds a lot […]

(Natural News) Researchers found a better way to squeeze more electricity out of solar power. An article in Science Daily described how they modified photosynthesis so that it could split water into its component molecules. In the photosynthetic process, sunlight is used by plants, some bacteria, and certain protists to turn carbon dioxide and water into food. […]

(Natural News) Lignin, a product that is commonly classified as industrial waste, may one day become an alternative to crude oil thanks largely to the Sun and photocatalysts. Lignin is a black, oily substance that emits a foul odor. Previous attempts at converting the toxic waste into a potentially important renewable source have been futile in the […]

(Natural News) Twenty-nine-year-old Democratic Socialist Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York is about to get a lesson in leadership that she obviously needs to learn: Campaigning and activism are not the same things as governing, which is what voters expect them to do now that Democrats will control the House come January. It’s one thing, […]
