Climate engineering: a contentious solution.
The Solar Powered Barn Your barn has always been a good source of energy. Up till now it has been due to the fact that you store all your wood in the barn. But now you can have a barn that not only preserves your wood for winter it also produces solar energy — enough to meet the [.]Posted in: Environment, Future Energy, Solar Power |
| Surprise, Sea Temperatures in July Hottest on Record! The Earth’s oceans were the warmest ever this July, according to a study released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration yesterday. The planet’s ocean surface temperature was the warmest on record for July, breaking the previous high mark established in 1998 according to an analysis by NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. The combined average global land and ocean surface temperature for July 2009 ranked fifth-warmest since world-wide records began in 1880. |
| For Greening Aviation, Are Biofuels The Right Stuff? Biofuels EUR made from algae and non-food plants EUR are emerging as a potentially viable alternative to conventional jet fuels. Although big challenges remain, the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions could be major. |
Plastics That Convert Light To Electricity We all are familiar with the positive impact of alternative energy on our environment. Now researchers are trying to improve upon the existing alternative energy technology. As far as solar energy is concerned they are trying to make solar panels cheap and people friendly. Normally the solar panels are quite bulky and difficult to [.]Posted in: Inventions, PhotoVoltaics, Solar Power |

| EDF Senior Scientist Successfully Works with South Atlantic Council to Safeguard Corals By Georgette ShepherdSince 1998, EDF Senior Scientist Doug Rader has worked with the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council, marine scientists and fishermen to protect the ancient and fragile reefs against both fishing and non-fishing threats. Working together, they designed a plan that safeguards the corals and also allows traditional fisheries in the reefs. A first for fishery councils [.] |
