The Army is following the Air Force's green efforts to cut their energy expenditures and, presumably, don't see their weapons budget cut. They will install solar panels and windmills, while investing in bio-fuels and energy conservation in bases all around the country. According to Keith Eastin, assistant Army secretary for Installations and Environmen, this will be good not only for the military, but for all of us: The Army plans to increase efficiency and serve ...

A MSI não está nem um pouco tímida sobre o seu Wind U120, um netbook de 10” que deve vir com disco rígido de 120GB, opções SSD e conectividade 802.11n Wi-fi e 3G (HSDPA). Mas com estas primeiras fotos oficiais sobre a continuação não-oficial do aclamado MSI Wind, vemos que não muito mudou sobre a parte externa além de acrescentar um estilo em duas tonalidades com uma borda preta em torno da tela (provavelmente para ...

Telecommunications provider Ericsson is putting some wind power into its network with a new radio communications tower unveiled today. The Swedish telecom partnered with turbine maker Vertical Wind AB and Uppsala University to incorporate a vertical-axis wind turbine into the tower that houses radio base stations and antennas. The tower is now undergoing trials to see if the design will enable low-cost mobile communications to spread throughout remote regions with minimal environmental impact. The rig ...

One of our favorite finds at this year’s West Coast Green were these other-wordly and eco-friendly dome homes from Solaleya. Imagine a circular loft with plenty of skylights and a solar array on top, gently rotating to orient itself towards the sun, and you have the basic idea. It’s like an eco-friendly update to the Chemosphere in LA. The durable domes are constructed using only FSC-certified wood and have been proven to withstand category 5 ...

Filed under: Laptops Considering that MSI's Wind U120 is on track for release this quarter, it follows logic that we'd see a few press shots as the run-up to launch continues. Once again, we're told that this bugger will sport a 120GB HDD (or a 20GB / 40GB SSD), 802.11n WiFi and built-in 3.5G WWAN. As you can easily see, the U120 isn't too much different (style wise) from the U100, and unfortunately, it's not ...

If you've heard of the popular Skystream 3.7 by Southwest Windpower, then you're probably familiar with their smaller wind turbine called Air-X. Air-X was introduced in ~2001 and flew off shelves, selling over 100,000 units. Building on the success of Air-X, Southwest Windpower recently released Air Breeze, its next iteration of the successful small wind generator. I first noticed an ad for Air Breeze in Natural Home Magazine last September and have since seen news ...

The folks at Google have a $4.4 trillion plan to remake America’s energy landscape by 2030, eliminating coal from the picture and shaving emissions of greenhouse gases by 95%. Unlike some other ambitious plans to rejig America’s energy mix, it comes with detailed prescriptions and pricetags—but how realistic is it? The plan has three big pillars: energy efficiency to reduce demand for new electricity; a massive renewable-energy push to replace coal; and an accelerated rollout ...

Google, who in aggregate, effectively knows everything, unsurprisingly has a solution for our energy problems. The plan, called Clean Energy 2030 will cost $4.4 trillion over its 22-year span, if we start on it right now. Google says it'll give us back a net of $1 trillion, like half of which will be savings on Google's massive power bill notes the former Fake Steve. None of the key points are radical, except for asking for ...
