We may be in the depths of a credit crunch, but some banks still seem willing to give loans to renewable energy projects. This morning, solar services firm SunRun is announcing a $105 million commitment by U.S. Bancorp (USB) to buy about 2,000 of the residential projects it installs. Keep in mind that this isn’t equity or debt money that SunRun itself receives. Because the company leases out solar arrays that it installs on customers’ ...

Ecco, avendolo saputo prima, potevamo fare una colletta e spedirne uno a Peppe Quintale sull’Isola dei Famosi. Complimenti per la meravigliosa invenzione, comunque, che supera in utilità anche la tavoletta del WC parlante, il RodeoFit o le mai-più-senza mutande trasparenti.

For anyone that doubted that President-elect Barack Obama would push for carbon cap legislation immediately on entering office, he provided reassurance today with an address to a meeting of state governors in Los Angeles. Both business spokesmen and politicians have opined that a carbon cap and trade system, which places a limit on the greenhouse gases that can be released by industry, could or should be put off while the country recovers from recession. But ...

The 24th Angel Forum, held at the SFU Harbour Centre, is a chance for investors and start-ups to meet, pitch and network. But it's also a chance for a look at the venture capital space as a whole. 2008 is (not surprisingly) being termed an "interesting time", given the continued credit crisis and the skittish nature of the American investment landscape. But the upside for new businesses is that inputs cost less, there's a wider ...

Another significant funding for the energy conservation crowd has been announced this morning, with ReGen Power Systems getting $5 million for an engine that can convert waste industrial heat into power. That may sound a bit boring, but the investment and technology are a harbinger of big changes to come. Everyone has experienced waste heat from electricity-driven machines — take your common electrical oven for example. The oven exists to cook things, whether atop its ...

EnerG2 Inc., an ultracapacitor startup that has kept quiet until now, is launching today with the official announcement that it has raised $8.5 million in its first round of financing. Founded in 2003, it has spent five years developing electrode materials that it claims can boost the performance of ultracapacitors, devices that are useful in electric cars and smaller electronic devices. Unlike batteries, which store electricity chemically, ultracapacitors store energy as electrical fields and physically ...
