 It’s been just over a week since one of the 350-foot-long blades of a wind turbine off the Massachusetts coast unexpectedly broke off, sending hunks of fiberglass and foam into the waters below. As of Wednesday morning, cleanup crews were still actively removing debris from the water and beaches and working to locate additional pieces of the blade.The blade failure quickly became a crisis for residents of Nantucket, where debris soon began washing up on the island’s busy beaches. It is also a PR nightmare for the nascent U.S. offshore wind industry, which is already on the defensive against...

To get away from our society's reliance on fossil fuels, we need to keep innovating new ways to harness and use renewable energy — and a team of scientists from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden is doing just that. After nearly 10 years of work, the scientists have discovered a unique way to harness solar energy, put it in storage for up to a decade, and later release it as heat, as reported by Bloomberg.

This would enable farmers to make money, preserve farmland, protect flora and fauna, and prevent pollution. With energy production, pollinator protection, and crop growth promotion, agrivoltaics, an innovative approach to solar power, has the potential to provide a reasonable answer to growing rural backlash against solar power, support insect populations, and maximize benefits for both agriculture and alternative energy industries, per recent reporting in CleanTechnica.

With the proliferation of solar panels and wind turbines an unusual phenomenon is becoming more and more frequent: wholesale electricity prices turn negative. Prices turn negative on the spot wholesale electricity market when production is strong while demand is weak.

Renewables overproduction turns electricity prices negative

If you want to get in on massive solar savings but don't want to install your own panels, community solar might be right for your household. Solar panels are practically magic, turning abundant sunshine into free energy. They save owners a ton of money over time — but they do come with up-front installation costs not everyone can afford.

This is the easiest way to massively lower your electric bill — with no rooftop panels needed
