For centuries farmers have farmed land where they have earned a living growing crops or raising livestock. However, in recent years, due to the way in which the economy has changed and supermarkets have taken over, farmers are really feeling the pinch. In many places, it's a lot tougher to earn a living from traditional […]

Rail travel is considerably better for the environment than other forms of transport. This is particularly true when you consider how much CO2 is emitted per person that travels by car when compared to a train. Research from the European Environment Agency looked at the CO2 emitted per passenger kilometre. Air travel was the worst […]

In 2009, Japan — the Land of the Rising Sun — undertook important initiatives that set the tone for how it intended to solarize the world’s third-largest digital economy. Japan passed its Basic Space Law, which established a space power satellite (SPS) — the concept of collecting solar power in outer space and distributing it to […]

Of all the renewable energy sources which currently exist, only solar exceeds any likely future demand. As long as the sun continues to burn, we can tap energy from it without depleting the source. Therefore, we cannot ignore the sun’s contribution to our energy needs. But like all things, there are advantages and disadvantages of […]

Electricity is the second largest expense of schools in the US, outweighed only by teachers’ salaries. In the UK, state-funded schools collectively require about £584 million to pay for electricity and gas. In less developed countries, some schools cannot always afford to keep their lights on during learning hours. These figures all add up to […]

The environment is now paying the price for our lack of care and consideration. Greenhouse gases are causing significant problems such as an increase in temperatures and melting ice caps. Since the industrial revolution, there has been an increase in the temperature of the earth of around 1.2 degrees. As a result, we are now […]

In our quest to reduce carbon emissions, solar farms are becoming a common sight across the globe. What was once a slow-moving technology has now become a mainstream alternative to energy produced from fossil fuels. To demonstrate this growth, we take a look below at the 10 biggest solar farms in the world.
