After a decade in the solar power installation business, Bradley Bartz is tired of being Mr. Nice Guy. He’s filed suit against Torrance, the proud home of Exxon/Mobil’s refinery, for stopping him from installing solar panels in the Hillside Overlay district. Just two people live in its 3000+ energy-wasting square feet.

The i-flow is a test bed for new energy harvesting ideas, ranging from flexible solar panel roofing to a thermo-electric generator. Another technique introduced in collaboration with BASF is thermoelectric waste heat recovery. Hyundai’s first diesel-electric hybrid powertrain uses the new U2 1.7-liter

While renewable energy, particularly solar and wind, may have some potential to mitigate carbon emissions, this is not seen as a viable large-scale alternative for commercial shipping. LNG engines currently being produced cover a broad range of power outputs. Engine concepts include gas-only engines; dual fuel 4-stroke; and 2-stoke.
