Biologists drove 19 burrowing owls evicted by a Phoenix housing project 50 miles into a 10,000-acre solar complex and lowered them into 40 plastic burrows — every female laid eggs within a month, and 29 chicks fledged the first summer, because open ground under panels hides no predator from an owl
2+ hour, 5+ min ago (304+ words) A solar farm designed to fight climate change became an unexpected refuge for an endangered owl when scientists discovered that panels cast the perfect shadow for ground-nesting predators to hunt.

Norway put a floating solar farm beside a salmon farm on the edge of the Arctic, and within weeks the diesel generator had almost nothing left to do because the panels were making more power than expected
20+ hour, 36+ min ago (583+ words) Along a small stretch of Norway’s coastline, salmon farms use electricity to run everyday operations. For years, that often meant relying on diesel generators to provide power at sites located far from the main electrical grid. A fish farm near…...
Black Bear Solar added 180,000 honeybees in Virginia, but the fence protects the hives, not the other way around
11+ hour, 45+ min ago (608+ words) Home - Environment - Black Bear Solar added 180,000 honeybees in Virginia, but the fence protects the hives, not the other way around There was a viral affirmation that suggested that the Black Bear Solar in Virginia recruited 180.000 bees to form a living…...
Sea lions learned to wait below Bonneville Dam, and the fish ladder meant to help salmon became a dinner bell

Two Minnesota solar farms turned the ground beneath their panels into habitat, and native bee abundance rose more than 20-fold
17+ hour, 6+ min ago (828+ words) Home - Environment - Two Minnesota solar farms turned the ground beneath their panels into habitat, and native bee abundance rose more than 20-fold Two solar farms in southern Minnesota planted native grasses and wildflowers beneath their panels. The results became clear…...
Headline history: Dodd Narrows was considered for a tidal-energy project
1+ day, 2+ hour ago (294+ words) Published 6:00 pm Friday, September 11, 2026 Dodd Narrows, the 55 to 80 metre-wide channel separating Vancouver Island and Mudge Island at the end of the Cable Bay Trail, was once considered for a tidal-energy project. The channel acts as a funnel for ocean tides,…...
Scientists Watch Light Supercharge Hydrogen Reactions on Platinum, Atom by
1+ day, 7+ min ago (873+ words) In a result that could reshape how chemists think about catalysis, researchers have now achieved something once thought beyond the reach of experimental science: watching, at the nanometer scale, how light-driven collective electron oscillations known as plasmons help break apart…...
Engineers develop underwater solar cells designed for deep-sea monitoring
1+ day, 12+ hour ago (402+ words) Researchers at Yunnan University and Southwest United Graduate School have demonstrated functional underwater solar cells operating at a depth of 10 meters (33 feet) in the South China Sea. The achievement smashes previous limits. Earlier attempts to harvest solar energy underwater stalled…...
Offshore wind may be good for the climate but can it be good for the ocean, too?
2+ day, 10+ hour ago (1294+ words) This is Part Three in a Mongabay series about trends in the offshore wind industry. Part One describes the sector’s untapped potential and gaps between installed energy generation capacity and climate goals. Part Two describes challenges the sector faces in…...
