A new way of generating clean power could run your lights with rain. Hydropower typically relies on the movement of water to create electricity through mechanical energy, such as spinning turbines in ...

Tiny drops of water might not seem like powerhouse energy producers, but a new method shows how simple tubes might be able to turn falling rain into an energy source. In tests, the method was able to ...

Water droplets falling through a tube have generated enough electricity to power 12 LED lights. Such an approach could one day be used in roof-based systems to harvest lots of clean power from rain.

The largest solar farm in the U.S. is SB Energy's Orion Solar Belt, located in Milam County, Texas. It is able to generate 875 MW of electricity.

In February 2021, a winter storm swept across the U.S. and numbed Texas with record-breaking low temperatures. Just as heating demand skyrocketed, many natural gas plants and a handful of wind ...
