Il costo del grano, del riso, della soia sta crescendo. Il valore delle azioni delle aziende che producono biocarburanti aumenta. I campi producono etanolo al posto del pane. Il cibo crea energia meccanica, non più umana. Le macchine vengono sfamate, i poveri del mondo tirano la cinghia.

Volvo C30 ReCharge:finchè c’è intelligenza,c’è speranza.:
Performedia - Petrolio alle stelle e bio-combustibili “ingiusti”. E se la soluzione fosse già dietro l’angolo?

Golf Hybrid, diesel ed elettrico insieme:
I motori diesel sono ottimi, soprattutto con le tecnologie attuali, ma non strizzano proprio l’occhio all’ambiente. I motori elettrici sono l’ideale per i nostri boschi ma le prestazioni non sono le stesse. Perché allora non fare una macchina con entrambi i tipi di motori?
A questo ci pensa Volkwsagen, che presenta la sua la sua …

Increasing the number of convenient hydrogen refueling options is one of the last remaining hurdles to widespread adoption of fuel cell vehicles. Honda took a proactive approach to this challenge, and our research and development in this area is ongoing.

We have experience in the development of power stations to generate heat and electricity (co-generation technology), as well as experience with home-refueled electric and natural gas vehicles. So it was a natural next step for us to leverage that learning to explore potential solutions to the hydrogen refueling dilemma.

Someone at the Canadian company Bombardier Recreational Products was thinking way outside the box when they created this futuristic Embrio Advanced Concept one-wheel motorcycle. This unicycle-on-steroids prototype is powered by hydrogen fuel cell and gives a glimpse of what the future of transportation may look like in the year 2025.

One of the best speeches you will hear this year: Jill Bolte Taylor at TED:
The video of Jill Bolte Taylor’s amazing speech at the TED 2008 conference two weeks ago — a neuroanatomist experiencing and observing her own stroke and using the story to explain the functioning of the brain — is now available online (you can download it here). You can feel that Jill lived what she is talking about. Her body language is pure Energy synchronized with Logic, a strong example of what our brain and body can do when someone is aware of his/her full communication potential.
Teaching is giving a content that resonate within our body and mind!
It takes a all new meaning here.

La Regione sta mettendo a punto il progetto: il via dalla superstrada per Caselle

Un anello energetico intorno a Torino. Mercedes Bresso lancia l´idea al convegno sulle energie rinnovabili promosso dalla General Motors al Politecnico. «Stiamo mettendo a punto il progetto e cominceremo con un tratto sperimentale sulla superstrada per Caselle. Se funzionerà estenderemo la copertura a tutta la tangenziale: quella oggi esistente e quella, ancora da realizzare, a est della città».

Fuel CellOne of the knocks against producing hydrogen through electrolysis has always been that it takes too much energy and in turn money to enable this process. Now, a company called QuantumSphere out of Santa Ana, California has developed a novel method using nanoparticles for electrode catalysts to produce hydrogen from distilled water at prices that rival the costs of fossil fuels.
