A heavy winter storm that slammed the US southeast and made its way up to the north has left over a dozen people dead and knocked out electricity to hundreds of thousands of American homes. The giant storm, called “Snowmaggedon”, has also caused massive traffic jams on roads. Meanwhile, air travelers are also confused as hundreds of flights have been called off. Most outbound flights from Newark,... 

After a powerful winter storm knocked out power for more than one million people in the Northeastern United States, hundreds of thousands remain in the dark as utility crews rush to restore electricity. Dubbed “Winter Storm Nika” by the Weather Channel, this was the second blizzard to strike the Northeast this week. Nika dropped more than a foot of snow in some areas, but it did the most damage... 

Country with largest oil reserves in the world can’t provide rudimentary service. It is said Benito Mussolini, Italy’s former socialist turned fascist, made the trains run on time. But his modern day counterpart, Nicholas Maduro, can’t keep the lights on in Venezuela. The South American country was pitched into darkness for a second time this year as a power outage struck the oil-rich country.... 

A gas pipeline was attacked near Damascus causing the capital and the southern part of Syria to suffer a blackout. The electricity minister blamed the blast on rebels. “A terrorist attack on a gas pipeline that feeds a power station in the south has led to a power outage in the provinces, and work to repair it is in progress,” electricity minister Emad Khamis told SANA news agency. As... 

Floods in Central Europe kill 10 people in Czech Republic. Hundreds of people have been evacuated from the eastern city of Dresden in Germany, where thousands of troops are deployed to help flood-hit areas. On Wednesday, a city spokeswoman said that some 600 people needed to leave their homes in Dresden because of the flood. Electricity cut off was reported in parts of the city. The military also said... 

Every few weeks now there is a new discovery that gives us a glimpse into what the future of energy could look like if governments and oil cartels would just get out of the way and let human beings create. In the past few months we have seen battery chargers that harvest electricity from thin air, converting waste heat to energy, and a group of children in Africa win an international invention fair... 

An unexpected source of new, clean energy has been found: the Plant-Microbial Fuel Cell that can generate electricity from the natural interaction between living plant roots and soil bacteria. The technique already works on a small scale and will soon be applied in larger marshland areas throughout the world. On 23 November, researcher Marjolein Helder will defend her PhD research on generating electricity... 

It is said that as California goes, so goes the nation. The Golden State is about to experience what the rest of the nation will experience after the globalists phase in their carbon-free agenda under the demonstrably bogus global climate change scam. “California’s electricity grid operator issued a rare statewide alert on Thursday warning residents to curb power usage in coming days as a heat... 

Passengers sit on a platform for their train to arrive as they wait for electricity to be restored at a railway station in New Delhi July 31, 2012 More than ten percent of the world’s population has found itself without electricity, after three of India’s power grids failed. Blackouts have now plagued India for two consecutive days, leaving half the country without power. The string of power shortages... 

LIPC in action In the era of remote-controlled drones, invisible planes and microwave guns, no military innovation should come as a surprise. But among the array of new weapons none are more satisfying than a cannon that allows you to unleash bolts of lightning. The Laser-Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC) cannon is currently being tested at Picatinny Arsenal, a key US Army research complex in New Jersey. “We... 

The virus-based electrode produced a small current enough to flash "1" on a liquid-crystal display. A team of US researchers in California have used viruses to build tiny devices that gather energy from mechanical forces and convert it into electricity. “More research is needed, but our work is a promising first step toward the development of personal power generators, actuators for... 

Researchers have suggested that wind turbines and lenticular cloud wind turbines can affect local weather by increasing night-time temperature. According to the study published in Nature Climate Change, the temperature of the area near the newly constructed wind farms are higher than next-door areas. Using satellite data, US scientists concluded that the effect is caused by turbines bringing relatively... 

The Japanese electronics company, Sony has introduced a paper-powered battery that generates electricity by turning paper into sugar, using it as fuel. The company has announced that the bio-battery is environmentally friendly, as no harmful chemicals have been used in the product. The power generating process uses the enzyme cellulose to decompose paper into glucose sugar. The produced sugar is then...
