    Fossil Fuel Subsidies Outpace Renewables
    [28 Jul 2010 at 11:00pm]
    The research and consulting firm Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) reports that subsidies for fossil energies are far outweighing those for renewables. While many governments are putting support behind clean energy, the figures show that renewables are still far behind, reports BNEF.
    World's Largest Wind Project is Underway
    [28 Jul 2010 at 11:00pm]
    After nearly a decade of delays, ground was officially broken on the world's largest wind project, a 1,550 megawatt (MW) farm located in Tehachapi Pass, California. The project, which is being developed near the first large-scale wind farms installed in the U.S. in the 1970s and 1980s, is a powerful illustration of the growing size and scope of modern wind projects.

DOE Pulse - Research Highlights
    Researchers use light to create rare uranium molecule
    [30 Jul 2010 at 12:00pm]
    For the first time ever, scientists have used light energy to create a rare molecular uranium nitride (U-N) complex containing a discrete terminal U-N unit, where the nitrogen atom is bonded only to the one uranium atom, versus prior work where the nitrogen atom has always been bonded to two or more uranium atoms.
    Unpeeling atoms and molecules from the inside out
    [30 Jul 2010 at 12:00pm]
    The first published scientific results from the world's most powerful hard X-ray laser, located at DOE's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, show its unique ability to control the behaviors of individual electrons within simple atoms and molecules by stripping them away, one by one???in some cases creating hollow atoms.
