Years ago when Google Earth was launched, we were all amazed at the levels of details provided. It was just very impressive. Now Google does it again with a most interesting feature: Google Project Sunroof.
How to go solar with these two super tools
3 There are still reasons to cheer in our fight against climate change. According to the respected International Energy Agency’s new report, global greenhouse gases emissions from energy remained flat in 2016 while the global economy grew by 3.1 percent.
Global emissions from energy are flat. Now what ?
I came across several articles on my home country lately and thought it was the occasion to keep everyone updated on how the French energy transition is going on.

2 Concentrated Solar Power, or CSP, is another possible technology to generate electricity from the sun. While it can store energy and thus provide electricity after the sun went down, the global current capacity is still around 5,000 MW, compared to solar PV’s being above 220,000 MW.
Concentrated Solar Power to get major boost
India is the world’s most populated country and still relatively poor. As thus, its energy choices will influence in a major way our common future.
