If there’s one thing that the state of Maine and the province of Nova Scotia share, it’s lots of coastline. So, in a positive demonstration of international renewable energy cooperation, the two governments will be working together to develop tidal energy and offshore wind power.

The only bright spot in four quarters of darkness for alternative energy and clean tech stocks came from the global water sector as mirrored by the Claymore S&P Global Water Index exchanged traded fund (ETF) (NYSE: CGW).

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced that five more states have reached a significant milestone—completing weatherization work for more than 30% of the homes they have planned.

Clean energy is spreading rapidly across the county, but what encourages such improvements?

Florida and Maine are the latest recipients of the DOE’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program. Through this program, states can implement programs that lower energy use, reduce carbon pollution, and create green jobs locally.

The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) recently released its State Energy Efficiency Scorecard, a 50-state ranking of energy efficiency policies, programs, and practices.
