The Hottest New Thing in Energy This Year? Wind Power
People never talk about electricity, but we’re always in the process of doing something about it—clean coal this, fracking that, solar panels the other thing. And in 2015 the hot new thing for heating (and cooling and cooking and iPhone charging) will be wind.

Will a Breakthrough Solar Technology See the Light of Day?
A startup that might have a record-breaking solar cell is in danger of going out of business.The power unit is a rectangular slab about the size of a movie theater screen. It’s mounted on a thick steel post, and equipped with a tracking mechanism that continuously points it at the sun. The slab is made of over 100,000 small lenses and an equal number of even smaller solar cells, each the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen. This contraption is part of one of the most efficient solar power devices ever made.
