NEW YORK (TheStreet) — The gold price did nothing in Far East trading—and once the dollar index began to head south with a vengeance, it was obvious that JPMorgan et al were there to prevent the price from breaking out to the upside.  It managed to rally above unchanged going into the jobless claims number at 8:30 a.m. EDT, but the HFT boyz and their algorithms were there with their

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — The gold price had a negative bias all through Far East trading on their Wednesday—and that lasted until at, or just after, the London a.m. gold fix.  From there it began to rally a little, but every tiny breakout was hammered flat immediately—and it basically traded flat once COMEX trading began.  Then, starting a few minutes before the FOMC ‘news’, some thoughtful soul hit the gold

French renewables power grid pilot shows limits of batteries in Europe

By Geert De Clercq NICE, France (Reuters) – A major pilot project by Europe’s largest power network operator to integrate power from rooftop solar panels into the grid has shown that battery storage of renewable energy is not yet economically viable in Europe. The conclusion is a sobering one for proponents of sun and wind energy because as more of it comes on tap, better storage will be needed to

Solar-Powered Plane Completes the Most Arduous Leg of Its Journey Around the World

The one-seater plane is covered with 17,000 solar cells. During the day, the panels store solar energy to stored lithium polymer batteries that keep the plane’s motor running after the sun sets. The plane reaches a maximum speed of 100 miles per hour, which is why it took Borschberg five days to travel from Japan to Hawaii instead of the 10 hours it would take on 560mph fuel-powered plane.

India's $100 billion solar push draws foreign firms as locals take backseat

By Tommy Wilkes and Aman Shah NEW DELHI/MUMBAI (Reuters) – India’s $100 billion push into solar energy over the next decade will be driven by foreign players as uncompetitive local manufacturers fall by the wayside, no longer protected by government restrictions on the sector. The money pouring into India’s solar industry is likely to be soaked up by foreign-organized projects such as one run by China’s Trina Solar – not

Discovery brightens solar's future, energy costs to be cut

The solar panel design will make it cheaper to produce hydrogen, but a simple version won’t be available for average citizens for at least 10 years, scientists said. Splitting water molecules to create hydrogen allows the sun’s energy to be more easily stored to generate electricity or power clean cars. The discovery has major implications for climate change, as improved solar energy would reduce fossil fuel dependence.
