Study finds wind concentrates pollutants with unexpected order in an urban environment

Green Car Congress

Cities—with their canyons, isolated greenery, and congested traffic—create seemingly chaotic and often powerful wind patterns known as urban flows. The paper by researchers from Arizona State University and Notre Dame is published in the American Institute of Physics (AIP) journal Physics of Fluids.

MIT Battery Breakthrough Could Revolutionize Electric Cars : Gas 2.0

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

7 Uncle B said on April 14th, 2009 at 10:17 am This battery is going to absorb peaks from wind-turbines, hitherto dumped to prevent damage to lines! A really significant efficiency increase will be realized, and in combination with the new “variable&# alternators from Vancouver, Canada, major wind power efficiencies can be anticipated!

The EV Transition Explained: Policy Roadblocks

Cars That Think

Utility commissioners and their staffs are now dealing with “rising workloads with limited staff, limited resources, and growing gaps in internal expertise due to the increasingly specialized needs of today’s energy system,” states the Rocky Mountain Institute. Permitting issues also bedevil wind power projects.

Solar Smackdown in Torrance – Installer Sues City on Behalf of the Sun

Creative Greenius

These zoning decisions blow in whatever direction the development winds are gusting in the city at the moment and there is no consistency, logic or equity in the decisions made. He’s a great resource and wonderful guy and he’s a old solar hippy. Do you wind up in these areas just increasing the number of panels? Not really.

Ferrari’s Plug-in Hybrid One-Ups the Combustion Engine

Cars That Think

Call it Peak ICE—the last hurrah of a technology that governments are ushering off the stage to combat climate change. The Arizona-built Lucid Air that I recently tested amasses up to 1,126 metric hp. And where costs are plummeting for EVs, they’re already rising for ICE cars, as automakers divert resources elsewhere.

Researchers Finds Lake Tanganyika Has Experienced Unprecedented Warming Over Last Century

Green Car Congress

Cores were taken by Andrew Cohen, professor of geological sciences at the University of Arizona and director of the Nyanza project, and James Russell, professor of geological sciences at Brown. This resource is likely threatened by the lake’s unprecedented warming since the late 19 th century and the associated loss of lake productivity.
