clean energy, definition of

Clean Energy is energy which is produced without a negative impact on the environment. Essentially it is neutral in its production of pollution and its consumption of resources.

• How does nuclear power compare with solar and wind energy?
  Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California recently achieved the first steps toward viable nuclear fusion using clean and potentially inexpensive ingredients...
• Could space-based solar power be future of clean energy?
  Space-based solar power is the cool technology of the future, although the concept was conceived hundreds of years ago. Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a Russian scientist, proposed the idea of harnessing space-based solar power in 1923. Years later in 1941,...
