Marketplace reported last night that “Massachusetts has launched a program that lets home and business owners who generate their own power sell it back to the electric compan” at retail prices, increasing the incentives for the installation of solar and wind energy-producing equipment, and additional incentives for conservation (i.e. additional conservation, which brings net consumption [...]

Back in February, 2009, Business Week published my article, Green Energy: Our Future Depends on It. They even asked for a picture – which I was happy to provide. I just learned that it was picked up by other web-sites: As a News Pick by Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen‘s Energy Task Force, By Physics Today, [...]

Silicon Solar has a wider selection of Portable Solar Power Systems than we’d recalled, including some, like the flexible (in fact, rollable) panels pictured below, which are presumably fairly robust. We’re not sure which models/systems can be daisy-chained – one of the principal virtues of the Solar Stik system. We hope to be able to [...]

website to watch family guy presents: it’s a trap the movie Wired – that is, editor Noah Schachtman – has identified what is, apparently, the largest solar array currently in the United States. President Obama recently spoke there. Where is it? Read below the jump for more.

First Water Systems – based in Marietta, Georgia – makes AC/Solar systems for pumping, water purification and re-use. Some are designed for fixed installation, others for mobile use by disaster responders. The OutPost-4, which can easily be carried in a pickup truck or trailer, is solar-powered, and can process 4 gallons per minute – 720 [...]

, invented by Brian Bosley and in business for about ten years, sells easily deployable solar and solar/wind generators which can be easily daisy-chained into an array. We don’t think there are any other systems with these features. Chris Crosby of Solar Stik – a woman of nearly infinite patience, given the number of questions [...]

Via the Autopia blog on Wired.com – “MIT Unveils 90 MPH Solar Race Car“, by Chuck Squatriglia: MIT’s latest solar race car might look like a funky Ikea table with a hump, but don’t laugh. It’ll do 90 mph and is packed with technology that may end up in the hybrids and EVs the rest [...]

Storing a gas Costs Money! While Moore’s Law does not apply to Carbon Dioxide or Carbon Sequestration, it should apply to PV Solar Modules.

All Politics IS Local. People in The Bahamas, New Jersey, Europe and California have more or less the same solution – re-usable shopping bags – to the same problem – plastic bags in landfills. Another common problem is converting our electric grid to run on electricity generated from clean, sustainable systems. And again, the solutions are the same: Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Marine Current.

Coolstuff and MetaCafe have videos which show the power of a focused solar array melting steel. (Click here for CoolStuff - Here for MetaCafe) It’s basic college mechanics – and also pretty amazing.

The same messages can be communicated by signalling the letter "K" in Morse code via signal lamp. (While a proper signal lamp may be ideal, a flashlight, probably best employing red LEDs, will certainly fit the bill).
In Morse, the letter "K" is represent as Dash - Dot -- Dash.
The ICS also has a subset, the Medical Signal Code, which uses three-character phrases to communicate brief medical messages.
