More Efficient Solar Cells with Carbon Nanotubes
| Pine beetle, global warming connection debated. Pine beetle populations have exploded in the Black Hills in recent years. And it is considered likely that multiple years of drought and warmer conditions were part of the cause. But does that mean global warming caused today’s pine-beetle outbreaks? |
| Developing nations can raise greenhouse emissions under Wong plan. Developing nations can continue to increase their greenhouse gas emissions under a compromise plan outlined by Australia to break deadlocked climate change talks. |
More Efficient Solar Cells with Carbon Nanotubes Silicon is one of the basic but expensive materials used in designing solar panels. If we can use something else as effective as silicon but more economical, solar power will be within the reach of the common consumers. Cornell researchers are thinking on somewhat similar lines. They are using a carbon nanotube instead of [.]Posted in: Inventions, PhotoVoltaics, Solar Power |
| United Nations summit on climate change. In December, in Copenhagen, nations around the world are all supposed to sign a treaty to reduce the greenhouse gases causing global warming. But negotiations are going slowly. |
| Is Lieberman at it again? In an effort to resuscitate some version of the House climate change bill in the Senate, Joe Lieberman is trying to get Republicans and moderate Democrats on board by adding money for coal power and nuclear plants EUR |
