The latest left-wing ecological insanity: Clear-cutting forests to burn the trees for “green” energy
In the interest of stopping “global warming,” government officials in the United Kingdom have partnered with companies and governments in the state of Virginia to hack down large swaths of southern hardwood forest in order to create “biomass” energy for use across the pond. Since continuing to burn native fossil fuels like coal won’t help […]

Energy from lasers? Chemists create a new form of CO2 that can be used as an alternative energy source
What if you could turn carbon dioxide (CO2) – a common air pollutant produced by burning fossil fuel – into an alternative source of energy? Austrian researchers have reported creating a new form of CO2 with the use of lasers, according to an article on ScienceDaily. Chemists have long dreamed of converting CO2 in the atmosphere […]

Reusing CO2: Scientists are closer to converting it to clean energy
Nature emits carbon dioxide (CO2) as part of many different natural processes. Plants are known to take them in as a necessary ingredient in photosynthesis, and it benefits the Earth in a lot of different ways, such as accelerating plant growth and food production. Although the planet’s CO2 levels are currently near record lows throughout […]

Over 100 cities worldwide are now using at least 70% renewable energy
According to a report from EcoWatch.com, more than 100 cities around the world now rely on renewable energy for 70 percent of their electricity needs. Data from research by the non-profit group CDP has confirmed that over 100 cities worldwide receive about 70 percent of their electricity from renewable sources like geothermal, hydropower, solar, and wind. This is a huge improvement […]

Israel announces plan to stop using coal, gasoline, and diesel by 2030
The United States is far from the only country that is going all-in on renewable energy sources in the next few years. Middle Eastern country Israel has decided to set its sights on achieving certain renewable energy goals as well, and it aims to rely on only natural gas and electric sources by the year […]

Powering clean air: The world’s first power plant with negative emissions now in operation
It’s practically a given at this point that whenever a power plant is in operation, it is inevitably going to have at least some emissions. After all, the waste material from what’s being produced inside has to be expelled somewhere. But did you know that it’s possible for a power plant to have less than […]

Help your health AND the environment when you ditch your microwave: Use of the ovens across Europe emits as much CO2 as 7 million cars
New research recently found that microwaves in Europe are as dangerous to the environment as 6.8 million cars, as they emit 7.7 million tons of carbon dioxide each year – the same amount that three large gas power plants emit – and consume almost 9.4 terawatts per hour (TWh) of annual electricity. Researchers say governments […]

Physics breakthrough can use sunlight to directly transform CO2 into clean fuels like methane, without using fossil fuels
Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in collaboration with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, have found a way to keep on using carbon-based fuel technologies without producing too much of the atmospheric greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) by doing away with fossil fuels. In the study that was published in the Journal of […]

Boom in solar panel construction causing explosion in release of this potent greenhouse gas that’s 17,000 times worse than CO2
For people who are constantly pointing towards “science” to make the case that carbon dioxide is destroying the planet, liberal environmentalists sure don’t know much about science. While the only emissions we ever really hear about is CO2, new federal data shows that another much more potent greenhouse gas is on the rise – and […]
