  • Google has made several investments in the clean energy sector, but this is, by far, the search giant's largest investment. (energyandcapital.com)
  • Rick Needham, Director of Green Business Operations at Google stated: "We're excited to be making our largest clean energy investment to date. (energyandcapital.com)
  • Google is looking to eventually run its data centers off of clean power. (energyandcapital.com)
  • The generator connected to this produces power. (rwe.com)
  • Lacey produces and hosts The Energy Gang and Interchange podcasts, two of the most popular podcasts on energy and cleantech. (greentechmedia.com)
  • Google's data centers already largely have their own power sources, but those data center power contracts expire. (energyandcapital.com)
  • And so it could be years before the first kilowatt-hour of solar power finds its way to Europe - with plenty more debates to come about power security, benefits for the MENA states and economics. (dlr.de)
  • Appalachian Renewable Resources provides energy audits, turnkey solar photovoltaic and solar thermal design and installation for residential and commercial properties. (solarpowerworldonline.com)
  • After several studies, the conclusion for why birds are drawn to the searing beams of the solar field goes like this: Insects are attracted to the bright light of the reflecting mirrors, much as moths are lured to a porch light. (masterresource.org)
  • But once the birds enter the focal field of the mirrors, called the "solar flux," injury or death can occur in a few seconds. (masterresource.org)
  • Yucca Moths Led to Flame of Solar Mirrors? (masterresource.org)
  • And moths and other insects are attracted to the brighter lights of the Ivanpah solar towers and mirrors (shown here ). (masterresource.org)
  • A map of the Ivanpah site in the Biological Assessment clearly shows a preserved grove of Mojave Yucca inside the one-mile buffer from the arrays of solar mirrors (see Figure 3-2 on page 3-13). (masterresource.org)
  • Concentrating systems use mirrors to collect and focus heat from the sun (see more concentrating solar coverage here ). (cleantechnica.com)
  • And other companies are using various incarnations of mirrors or lenses on pedestals, dishes, troughs or carousels to magnify solar energy on tiny, highly efficient photovoltaic cells. (scientificamerican.com)
  • Both involve mirrors or lenses to magnify the sun's energy, both have the capability to produce utility-scale solar power, and both operate best in sunny areas like the southwestern United States. (scientificamerican.com)
  • The global wind power market will grow from about EUR30 billion annually today to more than EUR200 billion by 2030. (windsystemsmag.com)
  • The Sri Lankan government aims to be an energy self-sufficient nation by 2030. (renewableenergyindiaexpo.com)
  • Josh Craven, 23, has engineered his ideal career building sustainable energy solutions. (edu.au)
  • By utilizing solar thermal energy for water heating, households can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and save on energy costs. (managenergy.tv)
  • According to Makani, high altitude wind delivers more energy per square foot than any other renewable source. (insideclimatenews.org)
  • It has just 5 megawatts of utility-scale batteries in operation and nothing much under construction. (greentechmedia.com)
  • Solar electricity is also generated in utility-scale solar PV farms (those that generate at least one megawatt) like community solar facilities. (ecavo.com)
