Much like gas pricing quadrupling for funding the `War on Terror` (ak...
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered a new way of storing energy from sunlight that could lead to ‘unlimited’ solar power. The process, loosely based on plant photosynthesis, uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. When needed, the gases can then be re-combined in a fuel...
Cuba now claims it has double the amount of oil in its offshore reserves than previously thought.

Congressional Democrats had been scrambling to put together a compromise energy bill that would have opened up...
The T. Boone Pickens wind plan seems more about natural gas. This indeed may be a decent alternative energy option but why is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi personally investing in these companies and considering taxpayer money to subsidize this plan, while refusing to allow a vote on offshore drilling as an additional energy option?...
