Water on Moon – Well, here we come..
According to many humans God created Earth But, to many other earthlings God created Man, only to destroy Earth Everything that has a beginning must have an end. I guess it’s true. We just don’t know how to respect our Home – right here, right now. Hell, we go about looking for traces of water [...]
Go green – Electrify the dance floor!
Previously, I’ve written a couple of articles on going green, and how the environmentalists and industrialists worldwide are going crazy about inventing new techniques to contain global warming.
Now, it looks like going Green has been catching up with night clubs all over the world, where they can generate quite a lot of power from those electrifying teenage/middle-aged dancers thumping their feet, consciously or unconsciously, on the dance floor. This is what I call cool technology! The technology behind this may sound very simple, yet it appears to be powerful enough to generate about 60% (not sure if it is theoretical or practical) of the night club’s electricity.
Carbon capture and storage – Is the future green-hot for coal?
It is a universal truth that burning of coal is one of the major causes of global warming, acid rain and other toxins in the air. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, about 3,700,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) is released into the atmosphere – by a typical coal plant in an year. It may sound oxymoronic if one talks about using coal and going green. Well, why not? Carbon Capture and Storage, or CCS in short, seems to be the technological answer to this oxymoron!? The US 2008 elections are red hot right now, and many who’ve voted for Obama or McCain are keeping their fingers crossed.
Is global warming driving industrialists and environmentalists crazy, world over?
A few days ago, the National Snow and Ice Data Center, Colorado, released pictures and data on the receding ice-line of the Arctic sea ice. According to the report, the extent of the sea ice reduced to 4.52 million square kilometers, which, even in layman terms, looks alarming. Environmentalists and industrialists around the world, who are already concerned about the many ill-effects of global warming, are innovating and inventing many new technologies and ideas that may help reduce the emission of green house gases into the atmosphere. I just came across an interesting article..
