Environmentalists question solar plantsLas Vegas (UPI) Mar 23, 2009 "Environmentally friendly" solar power plants planned for Nevada and around the U.S. Southwest may in fact devastate the local ecology, opponents say. The problem, environmentalists say, is that tens of thousands of acres of untouched desert will have to be bulldozed for utility-scale solar plants, threatening rare and endangered plants and animals, the Las Vegas Sun reported Tuesday. They are not against wind and solar power, many say, but favor "distributed generation" by rooftop solar ... read more |

Trapping Sunlight With Silicon NanowiresBerkeley CA (SPX) Mar 08, 2010 Solar cells made from silicon are projected to be a prominent factor in future renewable green energy equations, but so far the promise has far exceeded the reality. While there are now silicon photovoltaics that can convert sunlight into electricity at impressive 20 percent efficiencies, the cost of this solar power is prohibitive for large-scale use. Researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), however, are developing a new approach that could substantially reduce t ... read more |
