Unless scientists come up with a way of connecting irate commuters and one-legged pigeons up to the national grid, then London isn’t going to be the biggest generator of renewable energy. Scotland however might have more of a chance, with all those windy hillocks and stormy seas. However, in

What does Scottish and Southern Energy (that’s S&SE to you) look for in a company it fancies getting involved with? Aside from a reliable return and boon to its bottom line and all that good stuff, but Greenbang is wondering if there’s something in the name.
royal family
Greenbang bets you that she can make your eyes roll back and tut with three small words. Ready? The. Royal. Family. See! You did. Even Greenbang did and she knew what was coming. Yes, the hilarious exploits of our beloved Royal Family has been keeping the Great British public entertained

As the saying goes, you’ve got to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. Canadian power company Creststreet has decided on the latter, and is getting origami-like on its two wind power projects. It’s decided to sell the twosome – Mount Copper Wind Power Energy,

Greenbang would like to say: electric solar wind sail. Nope, she’s not trapped in a youthful hell playing Mallett’s Mallet, being smacked over the head with a rubber hammer, she’s just describing an incredible invention out of Finland: an electric solar wind sail. Not only a great

Pop quiz, ten points to the winner. What’s new about the “rest rooms” (or toilets to the less euphemism prone) at New York’s Penn Station? No? One last guess? Nope? OK, Greenbang will end this terrible suspense and let you know: they’re being redesigned at a cost

Like Marty McFly and Sam Beckett, China is doing a little bit of time travel, unveiling a plan for renewable energy that covers 2006 to 2010. While you might be wondering what’s the point of presenting a plan that covers two years that are already dead and gone, let’

PC box shifter Dell is now powering its HQ – a bit of a beast at 2.1 million square feet and home to 10,000 Dell types – with ‘green power’. Greenbang had rather hoped that meant the company has The Incredible Hulk down in the basement and is milking him

Greenbang is a big fan of the Germans – a nation that has a love of unfeasibly large two pint glasses of beer, is rather partial to a bit of football and knows that their meat should come in large portions with some bread involved in there somewhere. If Greenbang needed

Centrica has secured a long term contract with MV Resolution, the world’s largest offshore turbine installing barge. Greenbang must confess her ignorance and amdit here that she didn’t know there were that many offshore turbine installing barges. Oh, alright, she didn’t even know there was one, let

Greenbang hasn’t been shy in the past at bringing you numbers – predictions on how much money has been pouring, like a healthy papery tide, into green energy. But the cynics among you may have been saying “ah, but how much revenue is there?” and tapping your nose knowingly. Well
