Frog Foam And FuelCincinnati, OH (SPX) Mar 17, 2010 In natural photosynthesis, plants take in solar energy and carbon dioxide and then convert it to oxygen and sugars. The oxygen is released to the air and the sugars are dispersed throughout the plant - like that sweet corn we look for in the summer. Unfortunately, the allocation of light energy into products we use is not as efficient as we would like. Now engineering researchers at the University of Cincinnati are doing something about that. The researchers are finding ways to take energy from th ... read more |

Berlin wants to cut solar power subsidies: lawmakerBerlin (AFP) Feb 23, 2010 The German government wants to slash its support to the solar energy industry to prevent the market from overheating, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU party said Tuesday.
