Scientists have used solar power to heat an object to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 degrees Celsius) — hot enough to power a steel furnace. The proof-of-concept study, published May 15 in the journal , demonstrates how solar energy could replace fossil fuels in high-temperature manufacturing processes, such as smelting steel.

Amazon's cloud computing subsidiary AWS has revealed that it will allow customers to transfer their data out of its ecosystem with no so-called "egress fees" attached. The news follows some two months after Google announced similar plans, though in Google's case as the third-biggest player in the public cloud triopoly after AWS and Microsoft, it was heavily incentivized to "lead by example" — if it's cheaper to leave AWS or Azure entirely, then a company might just be more inclined to jump ship to Google Cloud.

Despite us constantly being told that solar and wind are now the cheapest forms of electricity, governments around the world needed to spend $1.8 trillion on the green transition last year. "Wind and solar are already significantly cheaper than coal and oil" is how United States President Joe Biden conveniently justifies spending hundreds of billions of dollars on green subsidies.

(Reuters) - A two-year U.tariff holiday on solar panels from Southeast Asia expires on Thursday, starting the clock ticking for American project developers to use the huge amount of equipment they stockpiled duty-free over that period by the end of this year. The dynamic could result in a mini-boom in already red-hot U.solar installations, while also annoying the nascent domestic manufacturing industry which is keen to see developers make the switch to American-made gear.
