Cost of Solar Energy Plummets - Renewable Energy

Prices have never been lower, and in some areas, PV systems can now produce electricity at a cost that’s competitive with — or even lower than — conventional electricity from coal, nuclear or natural gas. That’s right — the day we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived. The cost of solar energy rivals electricity produced by much less environmentally friendly sources. What’s more, the cost of solar power will continue to fall while the price of conventional fuels spirals upward. The cost of a residential solar power system has dropped about 40 percent in just the last two years. Families in many major cities are paying 10 to 12 cents per kwh for conventional power, and soon, many in the Midwest will pay up to 15 cents/kwh for conventional power. Rebates that are available from some utilities lower the price even more. Businesses throughout the country receive even more financial incentives. 25. Transition Town Hohenwald.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Berkeley Lab have found a way to generate power using human viruses. Yes, those viruses inside your body. "In near future, we believe that we can develop personal electric generators. So how does it all work? And that force is critical to the equation. But the scientists are picturing even broader uses. However, this is still a ways out. "We are currently working on enhancing the power output of the virus-based piezoelectric generators," Lee told us. EnvironmentNature & EnvironmentBerkeley Lab.
