Trade-offs reveal no clear favorites in alternative energy market
The nuclear power industry is riding the green wave back into public favor with its promise of a low-carbon solution to our growing energy needs. But even as the industry struggles to dictate what role nuclear can realistically play, it is bound by a global energy landscape-from solar to carbon sequestration-that is still predominantly shaped by... view more...

Nuclear Power Worldwide: Status and Outlook
Nuclear power's prominence as a major energy source will continue over the next several decades, according to new projections made by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has just published a new report, Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power for the period up to 2030. view more (2007-10-24)
Is the sky the limit for wind power?
In the future, will wind power tapped by high-flying kites light up New York? A new study by scientists at the Carnegie Institution and California State University identifies New York as a prime location for exploiting high-altitude winds, which globally contain enough energy to meet world demand 100 times over. view more (2009-06-16)
Plymouth launches new power source on the crest of a wave!
A team of European small companies and universities has been working together for the past 2 years to find a new way to harness the power of the waves. The team, which has been co-ordinated by PEP* at the University of Plymouth, has now launched an experimental Wave Energy Device in Plymouth. The device, which is approximately 15ft in diameter and... view more... (2001-03-29)
