EVSO: Cornell Researchers Create Much Cheaper Recipe for Making Solar Cells
The Dichtel group in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University has developed a method to organize organic dyes into stacked sheets that are porous for incorporation into flexible solar cells. The process could revolutionize the way solar cells are made by lowering costs dramatically, while creating highly-efficient and easy-to-manufacture solar cells.

U.S. getting lapped in the clean energy race
The catastrophic event off the United States' Gulf Coast serves as a reminder that we should be accelerating our transition to a clean-energy economy. The starting gun in this race toward the future global economy sounded years ago, and there is no doubt that clean energy will be a central 21st century economic driver and job creator. Yet, while countries like China recognize this opportunity and are racing ahead, the U.S. Senate's inaction is relegating our country to the back of the pack.

Hydro, Wave, and Tidal Power Market Outlook Bright as Conventional Energy Sources Dwindle, Finds Frost and Sullivan
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Prospects for the hydro, wave, and tidal power market look upbeat as countries are investing in renewable energy sources to augment energy security. It is estimated that the worldwide wave resources is 6,000 TWh/year, twice as much as global nuclear production and 700 TWh/year for tidal power. In other words, the market potential for the wave industry is about $1 trillion worldwide.
