    Russia on Tuesday opened a piracy probe over a Greenpeace protest against the Arctic oil activities of the Gazprom energy giant, saying it will prosecute all activists involved. Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said a criminal probe for piracy undertaken by an organized group had been opened over Greenpeace's September 18 protest on a Gazprom oil rig in the Barents Sea.

    Its fun to imagine cars like this on the streets. When the author says "companies would have to make vast, risky investments in uncertain new technologies" they could do the same with alternate energy such as hydrogen powered cars. Also this article does not really discus the production process of making these cars. Maybe because many of the cars are lighter, there would be less material meaning less carbon emissions as well. It would be interesting to know about the production of the cars as well.

    I agree with you Grant; however, I am still a little skeptical on the safety of these super lightweight cars.

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. They talked a bit about how the increased maneuverability makes up for it but I'm not sure I quite buy that.

    This is another example of Green Tech advancements. This shows how engineers are adjusting existing technology to create a whole new and useful process.

    Global climate: it's complicated. Any long-term solution will require profound changes in how we generate energy. At the same time, there are everyday things that you can do to reduce your personal contribution to a warming planet. Here are seven simple guidelines on how your choices today affect the climate tomorrow.

    This cell phone only needs heat to charge, so it is chargeable in your pocket! No need for plug-in.

    Reminds me of an app you can download that tricks users into thinking that leaving their phone in the sun will charge it. Nice to see there is actually a phone now that charges using heat.

    Very cool! That's a perfect solution for areas with spotty/no electricity (assuming there IS some sort of signal there).

    Researchers at Stanford University have created the first peel-and-stick solar cells. These cells are flexible, can be attached to a variety of surfaces (windows, business cards, clothing), and most importantly they can be produced using conventional, industry-standard facilities and materials. Furthermore, it should be possible to use Stanford's new process to create peel-and-stick computer chips and LCD displays.

    Dolphins in Barataria Bay off Louisiana, which was hit hard by the BP oil spill in 2010, are seriously ill, and their ailments are probably related to toxic substances in the petroleum, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration suggested on Friday.
