Right about now, I’m wishing for a sunny spring day in New Jersey, where there are 20 inches of snow between me and my perennial flower beds. So, naturally, I’ve been thinking a lot of one of the renewable energy technologies that I expect to be covering more closely in 2011, solar.
I’ve been stashing information [...]

I tend to be a Pollyanna-esque sort of journalist, looking for optimism and positive news wherever I can find it. So, my list of green technology “predictions” (if you can really call them that) is strictly focused on the things that I hope will happen in the year-to-come. Yes, of course, these are things that [...]

Since it is just about a week before the electronics world’s annual pilgrimage for the Consumer Electronics show, I felt this item was particularly appropriate. I was poking around various Web sites for green technology news this morning, when I came across this press release from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI): Turns out that [...]

This one is bound to create some controversy, given all the negative things I have read about living with or near wind turbines: Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory have published some preliminary research suggesting that wind turbines might have agricultural benefits for corn and soybean crops, keeping them cooler and dryer [...]

More evidence that carbon footprint and energy management features are going to morph into traditional enterprise software applications: Epicor Software has added an extension to its enterprise resource planning (ERP) application called Epicor Carbon Connect.

The product is available on demand, as a service, and it is priced as part of the Extend application portfolio that [...]

Ford gets the nod as the top brand among potential electric vehicle buyers, according to a new survey out about electric vehicle and electric vehicle infrastructure brand awareness from research firm Zpryme and sponsored by Airbiquity (which makes telematics technology). But not by much.
The survey, which covered 1,046 U.S. drivers age 18 â 65, focused [...]

With a new executive director at the helm, the next challenge for the Climate Savers Computing initiative will be a push into better power management practices for consumer electronics technology. You’ll also see progress on the organization’s recently announced focus on managing networking equipment.
George Goodman, the new executive director, says consumer electronics giant Sony has [...]
