NYC gets turbines on skyscrapers – or does it?

Greenbang's a little confused this morning - confused by the words of Michael Bloomberg, New York's Mayor. The fella gave a speech a couple of days ago to the National Clean Energy Summit. It sounded good. It went a bit like this: "Today, we're taking a step that will really kick alternative energy production into high…

Google spends $10m on hot rocks

Imagine if you were watching a production of Romeo and Juliet unfold, only at the end to see Juliet ditch her would-be prince in favour of one of the lesser cast members. The Nurse, perhaps. It would be a bit of a surprise, no? Greenbang is experiencing a similar degree of puzzlement after hearing that Google's…

Are there any sexier words in the English language than proof of concept? Greenbang would wager that "here's that free pint of hot chocolate you wanted, and I've stuck a £50 note on top just because I like your face," would come close.

Kiwis spend $2.3m on low-temperature geothermal

Greenbang would like to whisper a phrase in your ear: and that phrase is "fluid discharges". No, it doesn't make Greenbang think of a New Zealand geothermal push either, but thankfully that's the direction this post is going in. A bunch of scientists, from the Kiwi government's GNS Science group, have landed themselves NZ$2.6 million for a…

Aussies open land for geothermal experiments

When Greenbang first heard that Victorians have opened up more land for geothermal exploration, she wondered who'd been able to time travel back to the 19th century and whether they might want to pass on the message to the Victorians that those flat-fronted trousers and handlebar moustaches are going to look seriously silly one century…

SSE gets spendy with £15 million pump energy buy

Greenbang reckons that the CEO of Scottish Southern and Energy must be lighting a cigar in his office and possibly treating himself to an extra spin in his wheely chair - that's how good a day it must be chez SSE, after the company scored an government approval for a wind farm in the north…
