A day of strong winds and low demand combined to make this the first time Scotland has achieved this renewable milestone. For a compression, in 2012 Germany got 50% of it’s electricity from renewable sources, and today Germany gets […] The post Scotland Generated Enough Renewable Energy to Power Itself appeared first on Things Are Good. . . . → Read More: Things Are Good: Scotland Generated Enough Renewable Energy to Power Itself By John Klein, on March 3rd, 2016 Read this, and think of Energy East pipeline Brad Wall is pushing hard for.

In many places around the world coal is more expensive than renewable energy and as a result it has driven costs down elsewhere. The future is clearly one that won’t use coal as an energy resource.

The testing seems to be going well and other companies have taken note. The amount of potential energy high in the atmosphere is massive and these floating turbines are well suited . . . → Read More: Things Are Good: Using Giant Floating Turbines in the Future By Soledad Vega, on June 24th, 2015 The new Rogers/Mobilicity deal will mean less choice and therefore higher prices.
