How solar energy got so cheap, and why it's not everywhere (yet)
A lot speaks for solar energy. It's clean, renewable – and now even cheaper than energy from fossil fuels like coal or natural gas. Sounds pretty great, right? But it only makes up a tiny bit of global electricity production. Why don't we use a lot more of it yet? We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be ...

Solar CME Forecast
SEVERE SOLAR STORM WATCH TONIGHT G4 (Kp8) Triple Impact CME Solar Storm Far South Aurora Forecast STRONG geomagnetic STORMS are very possible midnight Tuesday night ET to Early Wednesday morning, 6:00 am UTC, Nov. 12. TWO BACK-TO-BACK CMEs are expected to hit Earth's magnetic field in a triple shockwave. In fact, the two storm clouds could merge to form a potent "Cannibal CME." This NOAA forecast model shows the merger happening just before they reach our planet. Cannibal CMEs contain shock wave

Today, the sun produced one of its strongest solar flares of the current solar cycle: an X5-class powerhouse. The explosion hurled a very fast coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth; this could scoop up one or two CMEs already in route, forming a potent "Cannibal CME." Its arrival today MIGHT cause auroral displays tonight and tomorrow in middle and, possibly, more southerly latitudes. To follow the story, visit http://spaceweather.com or keep up with possible auroral displays with such apps a
