House’s global warming bill: $8B.
Hydrogen From Waste Materials Environmentalists are continuously searching for green and clean fuel. Until now they have been putting a lot of energy and talent into hydrogen fuels because when hydrogen is burned, the only emission it makes is water vapor. So it is a great advantage that burning of hydrogen doesnt produce carbon dioxide. Clearly, hydrogen is [.]Posted in: Fuel Cells, Hydrogen Fuel, Waste Energy |

| EIA Analysis: Climate Bill Will Cut Americas Oil Addiction for About a Dime a Day A just-released analysis from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) says the cap on carbon pollution in the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (H.R. 2454) can be achieved for $83 per year per household – or a dime a day per person.One of the reasons it’s so affordable is that increases in consumers’ [.] |
| Changing with the climate. That climate change and agriculture are interrelated is well known. Agriculture contributes, albeit only partly, to global warming by spewing greenhouse gases and, in turn, is affected by its consequences. |
Virtual-Engineering Power Plants We are familiar with the fact that photovoltaic and wind energy installations, hydroelectric power stations and biogas resources provide us with much desired clean and green energy and with minimal or no carbon content. But they are still in the stage of infancy and needed more work on them in order to replace fossil [.]Posted in: Future Energy, Industry, Inventions |
| Do Clouds Come From Outer Space? Most of Earth’s clouds get their start in deep space. That’s the surprising conclusion from a team of researchers who argue that interstellar cosmic rays collide with water molecules in our atmosphere to form overcast skies. |
| Environmental Consequences: Asbestos and Human Health When microscopic asbestos fibers are inhaled, they lodge themselves in the lining of lungs. This lays the groundwork for the deadly asbestos cancer, mesothelioma. Perhaps it should come as no coincidence then that rates of pleural cancer (mesothelioma) in oil refinery workers are among the highest of any occupation.  |
