Cold fusion is now more commonly called Low-Energy-Nuclear-Reactions (LENR), partly to avoid the stigma the term &#8220;cold fusion&#8221; evokes. And in a strange twist of fate, MIT &#8230;]]></description><link>http://cleantechauthority.com/lenr-resurrected-by-mit-the-early-detractors/</link> </item> <item><title>E-Bikes Help Transition to Electric Vehicles</title> <description><![CDATA[(Image Credit: AlienOcean) With plenty of excitement around electric vehicles, one sub-group tends to get lost in the fray: electric bikes. These devices are affectionately referred to as e-bikes and are getting more traction as a possible technology for transitioning the general public to electric vehicles. E-bikes are still bikes that can be peddled by &#8230;]]></description><link>http://cleantechauthority.com/e-bikes-help-transition-to-electric-vehicles/</link> </item> <item><title>Pig Manure Sparks Biomass Evolution</title> <description><![CDATA[(Image Credit: CBS) Biomass continues to be a promising source for energy and a few recent breakthroughs are worth noting;  specifically in the arena of pig manure. Before jumping into the manure, the more exciting news is how multiple technologies are evolving &#8211; including wind and solar power &#8211; to provide permanent power solutions.

With recent legislation taking effect in states like California regarding efficiency standards for light bulbs, the race has been on to improve upon the gift Thomas Edison gave us in the &#8230;]]></description><link>http://cleantechauthority.com/is-2012-the-year-of-the-oled/</link> </item> <item><title>Turbulent Times for Wind Turbines</title> <description><![CDATA[(Image Credit: Teratornis) The wind turbine industry has had its fair share of ups and downs in recent years, but 2011 was especially turbulent for the industry. Even with improvements in the technology, the industry&#8217;s growth seems to correlate directly with the economic and legislative environment. In spite of a tumultuous 2011, the wind turbine &#8230;]]></description><link>http://cleantechauthority.com/turbulent-times-for-wind-turbines/</link> </item> <item><title>Add-Ons and Upgrades for Your EV</title> <description><![CDATA[Whether you already own an elctric vehicle (EV) or are considering the purchase, you should know about some of the add-ons and upgrades available. Most of the upgrades hitting the market are geared towards improving mileage or making it easier to recharge your EV. Take for example the Enginer solar power generator.

One of the biggest drawbacks to owning an EV is the charge time. If you max out your batteries out on the road, you may have to wait &#8230;]]></description><link>http://cleantechauthority.com/fast-charging-fast-tracking-ev-future/</link> </item> <item><title>Nature Inspires Improved Solar Power Production</title> <description><![CDATA[Scientists are turning to mother nature for inspiration on improved solar panel designs. The concept of copying what nature has had millenia to make is generally referred to as biomimicry and is gaining momentum as breakthroughs are leading to major improvements. Take, for example, one of the principle concerns of the photovoltaic (PV) industry: the footprint.
