Salt River Project's board approved a plan to convert a coal-fired unit at Springerville Generating Station to natural gas by 2030. The decision follows a similar conversion at nearby Coronado ...

The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced. CEDAR RAPIDS — Alliant Energy will start construction on a new power plant in Cedar Rapids — called the ...

We walk here, we walk there, we walk everywhere. Maybe you’re headed to work or to lunch in a busy city. You’re expending energy, and the exercise is good for you. But what if, on top of that, we ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Solar and wind accounted for almost 96% of new US electrical generating capacity added in the first third of 2025. In April, solar provided 87% of new capacity, making it the 20th consecutive month ...

The Coronado Generating Station (CGS) in St. John’s, AZ (Credit: SRP) Salt River Project (SRP) will convert the coal-fired Coronado Generating Station (CGS) to run on natural gas, following a ...

In the US, many newly constructed generating facilities are brought online at the end of the year to qualify for tax incentives. Since much of the US’s new generating capacity is solar power, that has ...

The only commercial nuclear power plant in the U.S. Pacific Northwest is set for a $700-million upgrade that would add nearly 200 MW of generation capacity. The Columbia Generating Station in Richland ...

A team has discovered how certain bacteria breathe by generating electricity, using a natural process that pushes electrons into their surroundings instead of breathing on oxygen. The findings could ...

A new way of generating clean power could run your lights with rain. Hydropower typically relies on the movement of water to create electricity through mechanical energy, such as spinning turbines in ...

Water droplets falling through a tube have generated enough electricity to power 12 LED lights. Such an approach could one day be used in roof-based systems to harvest lots of clean power from rain.
