Green Fuels That Have Been Overlooked Through the Years

Petrol is running out, diesel hasn’t got too long left and fossil fuels, in general, are on death’s door. Whether we like it or not, we have to look at alternative and green fuels for the future – otherwise, we’ll all burn to a crisp and the South-American dingo bat will definitely die. So what do we do? What technologies and fuels have been overlooked over the years? Are we still being naïve about certain fuel sources or should we just continue on the same path? (more…)

Grid Friendly Charging of Cars

Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratories say they are closer to solving one of the main problems with wind power, how to store the energy when it’s not immediately needed. They are working on an electric car charging system that would essentially use the car batteries as storage.

Currently, the grid has very limited storage for additional power that is generated when the wind is at peak performance. So, they have created a box that will either sit in the car or the charging station that will balance the charging rate.

This is a great idea for areas of the country that have wind power at their finger tips!

Its Official, August Was The Second Hottest On Record

NOAA

According to NOAA, June through August marks the second warmest summer on record. The persistent heat, combined with below-average precipitation across the southern U.S. during August and the three summer months, continued a record-breaking drought across the region.

Thus, creating a ripe environment for fires. The state is alive with burning embers from fires that were either accidents or were set by idiots. One fire close to me was set via a deer camp. Another was set by someone lighting socks and tossing them into a field. Over 40,000 acres were destroyed in Marion County fire. Add in the wind factor that just adds fuel. (more…)

Philippines Monster Crocodile Caught

I don’t know if you have been watching Swamp People on Discovery Channel but they just got done with their gathering of crocs/alligators in Louisiana for the season and they brought in some big ones. But the Philippines has outdone themselves.

They have captured a 1 ton 21 foot saltwater monster. They captured it alive! Unbelievable! They have decided to make it the star of a planned ecotourism park.
