On Earth Day, a new white paper released by IEE — an Institute of The Edison Foundation — entitled “Forecast of On-Road Electric Transportation in the U.S. (2010-2035),” projects that even under the most conservative of scenarios more than 5-million electric vehicles (EVs) will be on the road by 2035. This figure could actually increase to as high as 30 million EVs depending on advances in battery technology. Lisa Wood, IEE’s Executive Director and Vice President of the Edison Foundation, said, “Opportun...... continue reading

By Thomas Arnold Sites in the Bavarian Forest offer major potential for harnessing wind power, opening interesting options (in addition to conventional forestry) for farmers and forest owners. Until recently, woods were largely considered no-go zones for wind farms, not only because of nature conservation constraints, but also because they offered inadequate profitability. However, the fact that only a very small percentage of land throughout Germany offers suitable conditions for profitable wind...... continue reading

By Elizabeth Cutright What will our energy landscape look like over the next decade? How about the next 30 years? We’ve all experienced first hand the quick and dizzying changes wrought by emerging technologies, and there’s no reason to think that our current energy infrastructure won’t look vastly different in the years to come. After all, the modern smart phone is only about five years old, and in that short amount of time we’ve gone from using our cell phones to make and receive calls, to a 20th cent...... continue reading
