How electricity is really generated

Most people assume different power plants generate electricity in completely different ways, but in reality many of them rely on the same underlying principle of electromagnetism, whether the turbine ...
As Illinois lawmakers finished their work for 2025, they began backing away from their four-year-old pledge that the state would produce electricity only from carbon-free sources by 2045. They did so ...
The team at Sapphire Technologies has developed equipment that generates zero-carbon electricity using natural gas pipeline pressure differentials. Sapphire CEO, Freddie Sarhan, is center-frame, sixth ...
How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...
In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping into the Earth's own rotation. That's right, researchers at Princeton ...
Glistening in the dry expanses of the Nevada desert is an unusual kind of power plant that harnesses energy not from the sun or wind, but from the Earth itself. The site, known as Project Red, it ...
Renewable sources generated a record share of the UK’s electricity for April, May and June, according to Government figures. Energy trends data, released by the Energy Department (DENSZ) on Tuesday, ...
Wind and solar power generated more electricity than coal last year for the first time in the United States amid growing energy demand. In 2024, wind and solar accounted for 17% of total electricity ...
Wind turbines and solar panels are incapable of making any of the products or transportation fuels demanded by the 8 billion on this planet. Around the world, there is a growing belief that renewable ...
In 2024, energy derived from renewable resources again accounted for about one-third of all electricity generated in Minnesota. That’s according to the annual “energy factsheet” released Thursday by ...
A report from UK-based climate and energy think tank Ember notes that clean energy sources accounted for 40.9% percent of electricity produced around the world in 2024. The finding comes from data and ...
