Corvallis OR (SPX) Apr 22, 2010Researchers have made an important breakthrough in the use of continuous flow microreactors to produce thin film absorbers for solar cells - an innovative technology that could significantly reduce the cost of solar energy devices and reduce material waste. The advance was just reported in Current Applied Physics, a professional journal, by engineers from Oregon State University and Yeungn ... more 
Helsinki (AFP) April 20, 2010Finland's government on Tuesday outlined a plan to massively boost renewable energy production to meet European Union requirements on slashing greenhouse gas emissions. "This addition of renewable energy is equivalent in scale to three big nuclear power plants," Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen said in comments broadcast by YLE. "In terms of scale, this is a massive solution," Vanhanen said ... more 
Kingston, Canada (SPX) Apr 21, 2010Solar power in southeastern Ontario has the potential to produce almost the same amount of power as all the nuclear reactors in the United States, according to two studies conducted by the Queen's University Applied Sustainability Research Group located in Kingston, Canada. These studies, led by Queen's mechanical engineering professor Joshua Pearce, are the first to explore the region's s ... more |

Did a global ocean save Earth from the coldStanford CA (SPX) Apr 13, 2010 Four billion years ago, our then stripling Sun radiated only 70 to 75 percent as much energy as it does today. Other things on Earth being equal, with so little energy reaching the planet's surface, all water on the planet should been have frozen. But ancient rocks hold ample evidence that the early Earth was awash in liquid water - a planetary ocean of it. So something must have compensated for the reduced solar output and kept Earth's water wet. To explain this apparent paradox, a popular theory ... read more |
