  • They're also growing vegetables — rather than crops like wheat — on floating gardens. They use a bamboo frame and load it with water hyacinth, which rots and makes a bed for vegetables to grow. Then when the flood water rises, they can still harvest food.

    The system converts water into a hydrogen fuel using an unordinary method of resonant electrolysis. The engine is treated with our patented, SEMA certified coating which reduces friction and thermo-heat loss, and eliminates hydrogen embrittlement. The system also utilizes patented fuel additives to increase engine lubrication, resulting in reduced engine pits and performance loss.

BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | Climate fixes 'pose drought risk' - 0 views

  • "if geo-engineering studies focus too heavily on warming, critical risks associated with such possible "cures" will not be evaluated appropriately"
  • climate change is about much more than changes in temperature. So using temperature alone to monitor the effects of geo-engineering could be dangerous.
  • current climate models tend to underestimate the effects on precipitation of both greenhouse gases and of volcanic eruptions
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The article warns that geo-engineering of this type, combined with the effects of global warming could produce reductions in regional rainfall that could rival those of past major droughts, leading to winners and losers among the human population and possible conflicts over water.

Offshore Wind Farms - 0 views

  •  
    The Carbon Trust believes that offshore wind power has the potential to supply 25% of the UK's electricity by 2020. To help make this happen, the Carbon Trust launched the Offshore Wind Accelerator, a ground-breaking research and development initiative. From 2003 to 2009 some 350 offshore wind turbines have been built at the rate of one every 11 days. They currently deliver about 1GW, whereas about 29GW will be required to hit the EU's renewable target for 2020. To achieve this, a further 6,000 turbines must be built at the rate of one a day from 2010 to 2016, rising to 2.5 a day from 2017 to 2020. They will be bigger and more complicated to install, standing in up to 60m of water, in some cases more than 200km from shore.
