Fossil fuel-funded group hits Democrats for choosing clean energy over oil and gas
The American Action Network has launched a six-figure advertisement campaign accusing four Democratic lawmakers of failing to lower energy prices and endangering national security by opposing a bill that would roll back environmental regulations and boost fossil fuel drilling. The dark money, tax-exempt political group has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding from the oil and gas industry since its founding 13 years ago.

Environmentalists sue California over reduced solar incentives
The fate of California’s wildly successful rooftop solar incentives will be decided in court. In a lawsuit filed Wednesday — and shared exclusively with The Times — three environmental groups argue that the California Public Utilities Commission acted illegally when it slashed compensation payments for power generated by solar panels.

The first of China's desert solar and wind projects is online, and it's huge
The first of many solar and wind projects in China’s deserts is now online, and it’s capable of powering 1.5 million households. This first phase of this solar and wind project is in the Tengger Desert, which lies on the southern edge of the Gobi Desert. It has an installed capacity of 1 million kilowatts, and it’s expected to generate 1.8 billion kilowatt-hours each year, according to its operating company, China Energy.

Live bacteria battery
Scientists from Binghamton University have developed a technology for creating batteries with extremely long storage times without losing energy. Calculations show that such a battery can last for at least 100 years in a closed state and will give a charge after activation. The trick is that inside the battery, there are no chemical elements but a living organism - a kind of "spirit of the battery." In fact, the device is more correctly called a biogenerator because energy is generated here when the bacterium Bacillus subtilis begins to create spores.

New findings pave the way for stable organic solar cells that may enable cheap and renewable electricity generation
Organic solar cells show great promise for clean energy applications. However, photovoltaic modules made from organic semiconductors do not maintain their efficiency for long enough under sunlight for real world applications. Scientists have now revealed an important reason why organic solar cells rapidly degrade under operation. This new insight will drive the design of more stale materials for organic semiconductor-based photovoltaics, thus enabling cheap and renewable electricity generation.

Tired of being alone: How social isolation impacts on our energy
In a study conducted in the lab as well as during the COVID-19 lockdowns, participants reported higher levels of tiredness after eight hours of social isolation. The results suggest that low energy may be a basic human response to a lack of social contact. The study conducted at the University of Vienna and published in Psychological Science also showed that this response was affected by social personality traits of the participants.

The shift to a green energy future is renewing plantation-era water wars in Hawaii
Wesley Yadao, 71, farms five acres of taro in a region of Kauai where generations of families have tended the starchy root vegetable in wet paddies fed by the Waimea River. His tough-knuckled hands betray the necessity of a strong work ethic, an indelible link to his great-grandparents who planted the first seeds of the family’s taro-farming legacy.
