February 24th, 2010 admin
What do you get when you heat beach sand, paint it with mystery ink, and pump oxygen and fuel through the disk-shaped result? Energy independence, say the creators of the Bloom Box, fuel cell technology’s next great hope. After keeping mum on his highly anticipated technology for years, Bloom Energy founder K.R. Sridhar spilled the beans in an interview with CBS this week. The goal, Sridhar told 60 Minutes , is to replace massive, dirty, centralized power stations with smaller, cleaner Bloom Boxes stationed on street corners or buried beneath back yards. One mug-sized Bloom Box, he said, could continuously power the average American home (or two European homes). If the Box sounds too good to be true, that’s because it might be.

Photo: Bloom Energy High Profile Cleantech We already knew a little about Bloom Energy and their “Bloom Box” fuel cells because of a segment on CBS’s 60 Minutes last Sunday, but many questions were left unanswered. Bloom Energy officially came out of stealth mode today during an event held at the eBay HQ (it was revealed on 60...
The clean tech news of the week is going to be dominated by Bloom Energy ’s emergence from stealth. I can hardly believe that it was almost four years ago that I first wrote about Bloom . Reading that 2006 EcoGeek article, I’m proud to say that we got got the broad picture right, but the details are still tantalizing. Bloom Energy’s...
Judging from its launch press release, the Bloom Box “energy server” is the greatest thing since sliced bread. And perhaps it is. After months of media speculation, Bloom Energy finally took the wraps off its fuel cell technology last week at a press conference featuring such luminaries as California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger...
Don’t get me wrong, I’m extremely excited about Bloom Energy. I honestly think that their technology is a good thing for the world and that it might very well revolutionize the power infrastructure in America and throughout the world. And yes, it will create jobs and make a select few people very rich. In fact, I think it’s so...
It turns out that the key to a sustainable energy future is pitting the United States against emerging superpowers to launch an economic (and ideological) race toward energy independence. In the 1950s and 1960s, U.S. scientists turned their backs on thorium , a cleaner alternative to uranium-fueled nuclear energy, because uranium produces plutonium...
Solar. Wind power. Wave power. Geothermal. Tidal power. If you’re a regular EcoGeek reader, you’re probably pretty familiar with the different major power generating alternatives to the burning of non-renewable fossil materials. But still, osmotic power generation is likely something you haven’t heard of before. Your first question...

For every dollar that the federal government spent on renewable energies between 2002 and 2008, it put about $2.43 — nearly two and a half times as much — into subsidies for fossil fuels.

The global clean energy race is on, and China is winning. According the Pew Center’s new report , the country’s clean energy investment topped $34 billion in 2009 – up from $2.5 billion just five years ago – leaving the U.S.’s $18.6 billion in the dust. China’s plan is simple. It already has a robust manufacturing...
