• Ingenious sand-based battery can store solar and wind energy
  The technology used to harvest clean, renewable energy from the sun and wind is rapidly advancing, and that means scientists need to figure out how to store that energy efficiently so that it can be doled out when needed. 
• Blade tweak boosts vertical-axis wind turbine efficiency by 200%
  Two VAWT blade profiles enhance efficiency by 200% and reduce damaging vibrations by 77%, optimizing turbine performance.
• Renovated Microsoft Campus Set to Use Geothermal Energy to Heat/Cool Millions of Sq Ft. of Office Space
  It’s been four years now, but Microsoft’s Redmond campus modernization is almost finished. The massive 72-acre rebuild includes dozens of hopefully planet-saving designs and features, but none are more impressive than the Geothermal Energy Center (TEC).
• US DOE publishes report on Commercial Liftoff of Next-Generation Geothermal
  The US Department of Energy (DOE) has released the “Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Next-Generation Geothermal Power” report, highlighting the potential of next-generation geothermal power to transform the U.S. energy landscape.
• Novel technologies for transforming wind turbine and power grid stability control
  Researchers from the University of Birmingham, U.K., are working on novel ways of preventing threats to grid stability that can result in the loss of power to millions of people, equipment damage, and limited power transfer capability.
