‘Climategate’ review panellist quits after his impartiality questioned.
Solar-Powered UAV Under Development If UAVs starts running on the solar system, then it will save lots of expensive fossil fuel and the add-ons in the form of greenhouse effects. Researchers at the Queensland University of Technology are working on a model of a solar-powered unmanned flight system for round-the-clock surveillance. They have christened their baby as the [.]Posted in: Inventions, Solar Power, Transportation |
| Glaciers: Changing at a less than glacial pace. A new study indicates that the balance of the world’s ice may be shifting faster than scientists thought. That may be bad news for those who think there’s plenty of time to adapt to a warmer world. |

Is the Volkswagen E-Up the Future of Electric Cars? Consumers surely remember the days of seeing pictures off all the funny looking electric cars. They looked like something out of the Jetsons and were hardly something any of us would be caught dead in. Say goodbye to those old stereo types because the Volkswagon E-Up is raising the bar in electric car technology. YouTube: [.]Posted in: Electric Cars, Industry, Transportation |
| Alternative Energy Grows in Europe Wind and solar technology made up over half of Europes new electricity generating capacity in 2009, as the number of new coal and nuclear facilities fell More wind capacity was installed in Europe during 2009 than any other electricity-generating technology, according to statistics released today by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA). Wind accounted for 39 per cent of increased European energy capacity, ahead of gas (26 per cent) and solar (16 per cent). In contrast, the nuclear and coal power sectors decommissioned more megawatts of capacity than they installed in 2009, with a total of 1,393 MW of nuclear and 3,200 MW of coal decommissioned. |
Wind Turbine Power Goes Portable with Foldable Wind Generator Renewable energy is one of the hottest things on the market right now but until recently, solar power has been getting most of the attention. While there are plenty of techno gadgets, like solar briefcases and solar laptop chargers, that can have solar power on the run, very few if any items exist for [.]Posted in: Inventions, Wind Power, Wind Turbines |
