Dongwang the 100 solar town - Donggwang, a little Korean town, has achieved what even the most powerful countries in the world are still struggling to accomplish: total energy independence with clean technology. The village’s forty houses and the school all have large solar panels covering their roofs. In 2004, the government helped to install solar systems in Donggwang, paying 70% of the installation fees.

The Coming Job Boom in Solar - Solar energy could be the best way to ease the looming natural gas crisis and become the economic choice for energy for millions of people in the next decade, the Association told a congressional subcommittee recently. With natural gas demand and prices skyrocketing, SEIA president Rhone Resch says that solar power could displace 6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas by 2025, saving U. He also predicts that the solar industry could employ 260,000 people by 2030 and generate more than $34 billion in new manufacturing investments over the next 10 years.

Footprints on the Moon Solar Decathlon - If you’re like me, the word decathlon makes you think of running. If you’re really like me, it also probably makes you tired just thinking about it! The one I’m talking about however, is the BP Solar Decathlon, and it’s something different entirely. In this decathlon, teams from 20 colleges and universities around the world are competing to create the most energy-efficient house, built solely using solar power.

Space-Based Solar Power - Beaming Energy to Earth - While great nations fretted over coal, oil and global warming, one of the smallest at the UN climate conference, Palau, was looking toward the heavens for its energy. The annual meeting’s corridors can be a sounding board for unlikely “solutions” to climate change - from filling the skies with soot to block the Sun, to cultivating oceans of seaweed to absorb the atmosphere’s heat-trapping carbon dioxide. Unlike other ideas, however, one this year had an influential backer, the Pentagon, which is investigating whether space-based solar power - beaming energy down from satellites - will provide “affordable, clean, safe, reliable, sustainable and expandable energy for mankind.
