Wind Power to be as Cheap as Natural Gas by
2016<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/volumatrixgroup/NXFN/~3/uGPYgugwU8g/?u...>

In a few places, wind power is already as cheap as natural gas or
coal-fired electricity. By and large, however, it's still a bit more
expensive in most regions 'round the world. But not for long. Climate
Progress points us to this report in Bloomberg New Energy Finance, which
has the scoop: "The cost of electricity from onshore wind turbines will
drop 12% in the next five years thanks to a mix of lower-cost equipment and
gains in output efficiency."

Autonomo: A Futuristic Vehicle Concept for a Green

The Autonomo is a fully autonomous vehicle concept designed by Charles
Rattray. The design, inspired by biomimicry, sustainability, artificial
intelligence and information technology, is created to address many of the
growing transportation issues facing the world’s major cities today. This
concept vehicle utilizes a drive-by-wire control system that replaces
traditional mechanical components and harnesses developmental technology.

Using solar power to keep runways
ice-free<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/volumatrixgroup/NXFN/~3/Vvds7In6SKc/?u...>

When it comes to keeping airport runways clear of ice, there are several
options, including the use of chemical, thermal, electric and microwave
technologies. All of these methods can be expensive, as they require either
a considerable amount of electricity, or a number of human workers.
Engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas, however, are
developing a new system that would use the freely-available power of the
Sun to keep runways from freezing up.

Siemens Boosts Its Stake in Tidal
Power<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/volumatrixgroup/NXFN/~3/uVTLKWjHVMk/?u...>

Posted: 17 Nov 2011 02:53 AM PST
Marine energy has long looked to be a niche area, capable of meeting just a
few percent of global power demand. But this seemingly limited energy
source is drawing some big players, the latest being Siemens. The German
engineering giant boosted its stake this month in Bristol, U.K.-based tidal
energy developer Marine Current Turbines from under 10 percent to 45
percent. The attraction, according to Michael Axmann, chief financial
officer for Siemens's solar and hydro division, is the predictability of
marine power.

It's not a bird! It's not a plane! It's a dragonfly, and researchers are
using a microchip attached to its belly to understand the complex mechanics
of its flight. Dragonflies capture their prey mid-flight, requiring precise
control of horizontal and vertical movement to line up their meal with
their mouths.

Airborne Wind Turbine Could Revolutionize Wind

Flying a kite has often been considered child’s play, but a group of
inventors think the concept could be used to make wind energy cheaper and
more reliable than ever before, potentially revolutionizing wind power
forever. energyNOW! correspondent Josh Zepps met the innovators working to
turn the idea of flying a kite into an airborne wind turbine that’s lighter
and more powerful than traditional wind turbines. The full video is
available below:

This is Titanoboa, a 50-foot long robotic snake weighing over 2,000-pounds
that was modeled after the actual prehistoric snake of the same name and
size. I say we kill it and turn it into cowboy boots. Or lady's handbags --
I don't f***ing care, the important thing is that it's killed.

Canada Boosting Hydro Power to 88.5 GW to Replace US
Coal<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/volumatrixgroup/NXFN/~3/shPHyDEVmK0/?u...>

Canada’s hydropower industry has plans to invest up to $70 billion on
hydro-electric projects across the country in the next 10 to 15 years,
increasing its hydro-electric resources – to a truly staggering 88,500 MW.
Most of the additional projects are in provinces with abundant
precipitation that is likely to increase in a warming future, making them
ideal for hydropower. Hydro-electric power is much cleaner in cold climates
than in warm ones, because methane emissions that are caused by rotting
vegetation are lower in colder climates. Quebec is building another 4,570
MW, British Columbia: 3,341 MW, Labrador: 3,074 MW and Manitoba: 2,380 MW.
