The Lyon County Board of County Commissioners has given unanimous approval for a conditional use permit for the storage and processing of solar panels at the Facility. This move fast-tracks the creation of a regional solar panel recycling operation, which is expected to be the first of its kind. Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, President of Comstock Metals, indicated that the company’s demonstration facility has scaled up operations, adding a third shift in the upcoming third quarter. He also noted that the full design and permitting for the industry-scale facility are progressing…

While Australia debates the merits of going nuclear and frustration grows over the slower-than-needed rollout of solar and wind power, China is going all in on renewables. New figures show the pace of its clean energy transition is roughly the equivalent of installing five large-scale nuclear power plants worth of renewables every week. A report by Sydney-based think tank Climate Energy Finance (CEF) said China was installing renewables so rapidly it would meet its end-of-2030 target by the end of this month — or 6.5 years early.  It’s installing at…

Enlarge Pgiam Is space-based solar power a costly, risky pipe dream? Or is it a viable way to combat climate change? Although beaming solar power from space to Earth could ultimately involve transmitting gigawatts, the process could be made surprisingly safe and cost-effective, according to experts from Space Solar, the European Space Agency, and the University of Glasgow. But we’re going to need to move well beyond demonstration hardware and solve a number of engineering challenges if we want to develop that potential. Designing space-based solar Beaming solar energy from…

By Alimat Aliyeva China, the world’s largest producer of solar panels, plans to produce an additional 339 gigawatts of solar and wind energy this year, Azernews reports. This is stated in the report of the Global Energy Monitor (GEM) organization headquartered in Washington. The authors of the report note that China will increase its energy potential by 339 gigawatts due to solar and wind energy. This is more than the total capacity of all solar power plants ever built in Europe. 64% of the renewable energy facilities under construction in…

In June 2022, students from the Ballet School of Vermont took to the stage for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, performing Hansel and Gretel at Northern Vermont University, Johnson; part of a 20th anniversary celebration for the St. Albans-based institution. The school follows the American Ballet Theatre National Curriculum, combining training with the basics of dancer health and child development. In its two decades, the renowned ballet school, whose mission is to bring high-quality dance training to Franklin County, has undergone a number of important shifts, including upping…

Agrivoltaics, which combines solar panels and agriculture, is offering some relief, however. According to Tucson.com, last summer, Phoenix hit or topped 110° F for 31 days straight, the longest such streak ever (there is a good chance that dubious record will be shattered this summer). That searing heat in Arizona dehydrates crops and evaporates water the state desperately needs to…
