Graphene layer lets solar panels generate energy in rain
Engineers and materials scientists have made solar panels increasingly efficient, but the technology still requires the cooperation of the weather. Currently, slow-moving rain fronts spell bad news for solar power generation -- but not for a new prototype solar cell developed by a team of Chinese scientists.

Japanese court rejects citizens' demand for suspension of nuclear reactor restart
A Japanese court on Thursday rejected a demand by some western Japan
residents seeking suspension of planned restart of nuclear reactors at
Takahama and Oi plants, local media reported.
The residents, from Shiga Prefecture, claimed that there are many geological faults around the two plants which might cause earthquakes and tsunamis, and that severe nuclear accidents might occur such as in the 2011 Fukushima crisis.

50 Dirtiest U.S. Power Plants Huge Contributor to Carbon Emissions
U.S. power plants are an outsized contributor to the world’s carbon pollution, a new report released by Environment America Research & Policy Center and the Frontier Group says. It found that in 2012, they added more climate change-causing carbon to the environment than the entire economies of any nation other than China.
The report, “America’s Dirtiest Power Plants: Polluter on a Global Scale,” demonstrated that U.S. power plants produced more than six percent of worldwide global warming emissions.

Completion of Australia’s largest solar plant at risk
Silex Systems, the company constructing Australia’s biggest solar
plant, has suspended its funding following reports the national
Renewable Energy Target (RET) could be scaled back or done away with
altogether.
The 100-megawatt Mildura Solar Concentrator Power Station, a $70 million project in Victoria, was supposed to provide electricity to 40,000 homes. Now Silex Systems has said it is shelving the project.

Jordan oks mega oil shale project
Jordan's cabinet on Sunday approved an agreement to build a mega oil
shale power plant in the Kingdom, Jordan's energy minister Mohammad
Hamed said.
"The agreement will be signed between the Jordanian government and an international Estonian-Malaysian consortium within two weeks, and it's the first of its kind in the region," the minister said.
Jordan has over 40 billion tons of oil shale in reserves and the 2.4-billion-US dollar power plant will produce electricity through direct oil shale burning, the minister said.

Europe with no "Plan B" in case of power outages
No backup plan is present should a Europe-wide power blackout occur, experts warned at a conference on "Sudden Blackout" in Vienna Thursday.
"National crisis management is not enough, as it requires technical communication to be possible," said Herbert Saurugg, initiator of the conference.
He added broader society must be a part of problem-solving efforts, including the first step of acknowledging that a large-scale power outage is a possibility.

UN officials hail ‘significant’ move by US to curb power plant emissions
UN, 2 June 2014 – United Nations officials today welcomed the initiative announced by President Barack Obama to limit emissions from power plants in the United States, voicing their hope that it will spur other countries to take concrete action to combat climate change.
In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called the initiative “a significant step toward reducing global greenhouse gas emissions that are disrupting the climate, exacerbating extreme weather patterns, and threatening human health, sustainable economic growth and development.”
