AI makes wind farms safer for birds— a win for green energy expansion
For years, concerns over the potential harm wind turbines might cause to birds have been an obstacle to the expansion of wind energy. However, studies using artificial intelligence (AI) have shown that such worries are unfounded. The study analyzed vast amounts of data collected … [Read more...] about AI makes wind farms safer for birds— a win for green energy expansion
Removable solar panels might soon be rolled out on railway tracks
Solar panels are being laid out "like carpet" across Swiss train rails as part of the country's renewable energy initiative. Swiss startup company Sun-Ways will begin installing solar panels in the western part of the country this spring, next to the Buttes train station, … [Read more...] about Removable solar panels might soon be rolled out on railway tracks
New solar panels harness the full light spectrum to improve crop yields
Crops and clean energy are increasingly sharing the same land as the globe struggles to deal with the climate problem and transitions to renewables and agrivoltaics — the cultivation of crops beneath the shade of solar panels. Scientists are now investigating how to harness … [Read more...] about New solar panels harness the full light spectrum to improve crop yields
