Building Their Own Electric Vehicles Creates the EVolution of the Luxury Ride

May 16, 2011 No Comments

Ask people what they think of when they hear the term “electric car,” and they’ll surely tell you about the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf. Both vehicles represent milestones in automotive technology and offer their owners instant green cred, but neither set the heart of the performance car aficionado aflutter.
The performance/luxury EV market, quite frankly, doesn’t exist yet – that is, unless you’re a Google founder and can get your hands on a Tesla Roadster. In the next few years, though, things are going to change. A host of mainstream luxury and performance automakers are looking to draw in the green hedge funders and captains of industry with their emissions-free offerings. From the looks of these cars, drivers will not be disappointed.

Waste to Energy Process: Transforming Organic Waste

May 16, 2011 No Comments

An innovative idea for making advanced biofuels such as jet fuel, diesel and gasoline from regional resources is moving forward with a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
“This process will demonstrate the use of local biomass from our community and our farmers and it will answer questions across the state,” said Diahann Howard, Port of Benton economic development director.
“It will also give more options locally to use waste for energy and not stockpile ag waste, which can create hazardous or unappealing situations,” she said.

The Urban Ride of the Future Meets the E-Bike

May 16, 2011 No Comments

Electric Vehicles like the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf are steadily moving towards wider adoption in the U.S.
But how do carless urbanites get in on the EV action? – electric bikes:
“A Sense of Lightness”
E-bikes come in different varieties but share common characteristics: unlike a motor scooter, they can be powered by pedals alone. A mounted battery pack, with a power output starting at 250 watts – about one-third of 1 horsepower – can also provide power to a motor in the rear wheel.

Powering Sustainable Development. One Phone at a Time..

May 16, 2011 No Comments

April 18th, 2011 By txchnologist
Everyone in the developing world, it seems, has a cell phone. The African mobile phone market has 400 million subscribers — almost half the continent’s population — and is bigger than the North American market. The phones are used for an astonishing variety of tasks, from enabling migrant workers to stay in touch with their families to mobile banking to allowing fishermen to check market prices.
But as transformative as mobile technology is, it still requires power, which can be hard to come by in Africa. Several companies, including the Chinese firm ZTE, together with Jamaica’s Digicel Group, have already rolled out solar-powered cell phones. But they are following in the footsteps of an Oakland-based company that has been distributing its solar-powered cell phone chargers in Africa for years.

Teams from 245 buildings around the U.S. compete to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions

May 16, 2011 No Comments

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Star program launched the 2011 National Building Competition: Battle of the Buildings. Teams from 245 buildings around the country are going head-to-head to improve energy efficiency and determine who can reduce their energy use the most. Nearly five million commercial buildings in the United States are responsible for approximately 20 percent of both the nation’s energy use and greenhouse gas emissions at a cost of more than $100 billion annually. Through energy efficiency improvements, competitors are working to save energy, reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and protect the health of Americans.
“I am excited to see so many companies joining our Battle of the Buildings competition and finding new ways to improve their energy efficiency,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. “We’re harnessing our nation’s innovative capacity to save money on electric bills, create a cleaner environment and protect the health of American families.”
