Scheffler Dish for cooking and power in developing countries

Invented by Wolfgang over 25 years ago 1000s of Scheffler dishes are now installed at 100s of locations around the world. Wolfgang Scheffler has made his dish designs and associated intellectual property available for free to create a solar world.

Wind Energy Can Easily Replace 40% of Polluting Electric Power

Wind power can easily replace 40% of Coal, Oil, Gas and Nuclear for electricity generation in the UK.  Wind expert David Milborrow shares his 30 year of experience in grid integration and penetration of wind resources and all variability associated with electricity grid supply and demand.  David Millborrow in conversation with Matthew Wright of Beyond Zero Emissions.

The need for speed: Europe's trains beat planes

With the advent of high-speed trains, rail travel in Europe has become so popular that some intercity flight routes are being cancelled.

Why would you fly from London to Paris, for example, and tackle Heathrow and Charles de Gaulle airport check ins plus security when you can catch a high-speed train that lands you right in the centre of town?

Now about 90 per cent of people travel by Eurostar between these two cities.

Arctic seas turn to acid, putting vital food chain at risk

With the world's oceans absorbing six million tonnes of carbon a day, a leading oceanographer warns of eco disaster

Carbon-dioxide emissions are turning the waters of the Arctic Ocean into acid at an unprecedented rate, scientists have discovered. Research carried out in the archipelago of Svalbard has shown in many regions around the north pole seawater is likely to reach corrosive levels within 10 years. The water will then start to dissolve the shells of mussels and other shellfish and cause major disruption to the food chain. By the end of the century, the entire Arctic Ocean will be corrosively acidic.

Enough wind power to blow us away: build the transmission lines

A new study claims that there is 16 to 20 times more wind power avaiability in the USA than is needed to generate all the electricity used, says Michael Goggin of the American Wind Energy Association.
He also introduces us to negative electricity prices (minus US$10 to minus US$20 per Megawatt Hour), courtesy of environmental ‘incentives’.  Pro-active construction of transmission lines will sort out the paradox of negative energy prices.
