NASA maps potential ocean areas for “green” wind power
By: William Atkins
NASA scientists have been developing ocean maps for almost ten years using the NASA QuikSCAT satellite. The maps are now being used to find ocean areas where winds could produce an abundance of electrical energy.

Australian Government gas bags back gas over green hybrids
By: Stan Beer
Like most drivers these days, I've been exploring options for cutting costs which still enable me to run a car. It has been a surprise to discover that the Australian Government elected last year partially on its green credentials is actually more friendly to big oil than alternative energy.

Sharp’s solar powered LCD TV is the way of the future!
By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt
Japanese electronics powerhouse Sharp is showcasing its “Zero Emission House” with one of the highlights being a low power consumption prototype 26-inch LCD TV. If desired, it can fully powered by a similarly sized solar panel connected to a battery system that stores the electricity generated by the sun, giving you power even if “off the grid”. Cool!

Intel tries to reconcile global warming and Moore's Law
By: Stan Beer
Driving a V8 gas guzzler in these days of skyrocketing fuel prices and fossil fuel induced climate change is no longer considered cool. So why should it be cool to own a supercharged power hungry desktop or laptop computer? Is Moore's Law dead? Not according to Intel.

Australia's "ungreen" government cans solar panel rebates
By: Stan Beer
In what must surely be the most bone-headed decision in the history of the green energy movement, the Rudd Labor Government has decided to squash the nascent local solar panel industry. The same government that paid lip service to environmental concerns by signing the Kyoto Protocol has decided to make installation of home solar panels a class issue.

Revolutionary Lithium Ion battery research now funded by Saudis
By: Stan Beer
In January this year, the news broke that an assistant Professor and his team at Stanford University had invented a revolutionary battery technology capable of holding ten times the energy of existing Lithium Ion batteries. Now the Professor's ongoing research is being funded to the tune of $10 million by a startup university in Saudi Arabia and conspiracy theories are flowing as thickly as oil.

Denmark signs deal to implement Israel’s electric car project
By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt
The electric vehicle (EV) project by Shai Agassi, now underway in Israel, will see electric cars on sale from next year, matched by an infrastructure of charging stations that will replace flat batteries with charged ones. Now Denmark has signed up to the plan, aiming to charge the batteries with wind power, with at least 30 more countries wanting to get on the electric bandwagon.
