The Bureau of Land Management is moving to establish a competitive lease process for wind and solar development on public lands.
U.S. Military Eyes Big Solar On Desert Bases
The U.S. Department of Defense says bases in the California desert could be privately developed to the tune of 7,000 megawatts of new solar capacity.
Greenhouse Combines Crops With Solar Power
A research consortium in the Basque region of Spain has developed a PV system for greenhouses that maximizes power production and manages the shading of crops.
Duties On Chinese Solar Imports The Wrong Move
With solar deployment booming, the U.S. should reject SolarWorld’s call for duties on Chinese imports, argues EarthTechling’s Pete Danko.
Military Green Growth Offset By Congress
A newly passed Pentagon funding bill makes it more complicated for the military to pursue high-level LEED certifications, but apparently not impossible.
Don’t Be Fooled On Wind Power And Birds
A bird group’s effort to force smart wind growth is laudable, but we can’t let it be used to derail the industry, argues EarthTechling columnist Pete Danko.
Solar Industry Infighting Not All That Pretty
CASM and CASE have turned U.S-China trade relations into an internecine solar slugfest, as they struggle to influence the final outcome in the case.
