The Oil Drum: Europe | Saving 20 million barrels a day. The 100mpg hybrid car should be... - 0 views

  • There is an urban legend that goes "car companies are withholding the 100 mpg car". It might not have been true before... and now while not withholding it, the 100mpg is ready - they're just being very very slow to make it and sell it!

Plugs and Cars: Coal Into Cars: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly - 0 views

  • About half our electricity comes from coal, and that will change, at best, slowly as we move to renewables. But we need to keep in mind that when we're talking about cars, even coal-generated electricity results in lower greenhouse gas emissions compared with petroleum.

Energy Outlook - the cost of driving - 0 views

  • Consider the table below, comparing several different vehicle and fuel options. The prices shown are for the week of 7/23/07, to align with a comparable E-85 price. The electricity price is the most recent national average consumer price from the DOE's Electric Power Monthly.

The Cost of Energy » Blog Archive » A battery of questions - 0 views

  • There’s been an avalanche of news items lately about GM and Toyota and their planned use of lithium-ion batteries in PHEV (plug-in electric hybrid) cars. The bottom line is that GM seems to have stolen the tempo from Toyota (to borrow a piece of chess terminology), at least in the PR battle. (See links to some of the articles at the end of this post.)

Peak Energy: Clean energy gets gnarly, dude - 0 views

  • Surf this: The potential market for wave energy -- electricity generated by offshore turbines -- is worth a staggering $1 trillion worldwide, according to the World Energy Council, a nonprofit research organization. In the United States alone, wave technology could supply 6.5 percent of the nation's energy. No wonder, then, that startups are rushing to stake claims before someone else drops in on the best waves.

Part 1: A Glimpse of the Energy Future - 0 views

  • Most of the time, even resident Kim Charles does not notice the solar panels on her roof, the whisper of her SEER 17 heat pump water heater, the airtight, moisture-managed construction of structural insulated panels, the integrated design that allows most of the home's plumbing to reside within one wall, saving precious energy.

Part Two: A Glimpse of the Energy Future - 0 views

  • Not much more, he adds, saying that incorporating energy-efficient technology and design into what he describes as "mountain/craftsman style" homes will add 5% to 10% to the price tag, with buyers paying $350,000 and up for the homes, and somewhat less for a series of townhouses and condo units also on the drawing board.

The Road to Energy Zero Homes - Metrics « The Sustainable Home Blog - 0 views

  • What that means in practical terms, is that the thermodynamics of the building design (insulation levels, window performance, tightness, solar gain, etc.) must be good enough to allow the reasonable application renewable resources like solar or wind power to render the building a net zero energy consumer.

TG Daily - Scientists develop flexible paper batteries - 0 views

  • The new device also exhibits some unique electrical properties. While it can act like a traditional lithium-ion battery in that it stores energy and releases it as needed, it also has properties of a super-capacitor. These allow for quick discharges when necessary.
