@Sonikku it's part of an American Plan to Bring Democracy to the Middle East (endorsed by the G8, I hear) #PlanC #ClimateFight
How much renewable energy do we use?

Probably less than you think.

When you want to compare internal combustion cars to electrics, the engineer's "efficiency" view offers remarkable insights.

Efficiency - A Little Bit Goes a Long Way

Like comedian Rodney Dangerfield, energy efficiency "don't get no respect," but it deserves more policy attention and more widespread application.

Stator The Art: The Electric Motors In Your EV

Electric motors are fundamental to modern civilization and will become even more important as we increasingly electrify to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

No One Said It Would Be Easy

An Australian mining company's first attempt to build an entirely gravity-powered ore train doesn't quite work (yet), but we shouldn't be discouraged.

Keep Up the Measurement Pressure

Although SweetLightning talks about many promising ways to reduce greenhouse gases, emissions are still rising. One thing we can do about it: Keep measuring, and be specific.

EVs Deliver Lowest Lifecycle Carbon Footprint Everywhere

Cradle-to-grave GHG emissions of light duty electric vehicles are lower than all forms of their internal combustion-engined equivalents, no matter the region

Cement can retain and re-emit heat. That might be good in a greenhouse in winter, but isn't good when in structures that are already too hot. So "Cooler #Cement": an important innovation.

Cooler Cement

Changing the surface microstructure of cement reduces concrete's contribution to global warming by keeping structures cooler
