Could We Still Get a National Renewable Energy Standard This Year?

Posted on September 9, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Image via Red, Green, and Blue What just a year ago seemed to be a weak alternative or a mere support beam to good carbon-reducing energy policy is now a pie-in-the-sky longshot.

By opening up both old and new cables for use by the climate science community and attaching voltmeters at locations along the lines that would read the “pulse” of the ocean, researchers could learn so much more about currents, salinity, seismology, temperatures and other vital signs. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Paper Industry Eyes Genetically Engineered Eucalyptus to Conserve Forests

Posted on June 7, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo of eucalyptus via maveric2003 In the US, eucalyptus trees already have a big strike against them in that they’re non-native and somewhat invasive. Brought here from Australia as drought-resistant wind-breaks for farms and fast-growing timber, the trees have popped up all over the place, but usually in the warmer states as they have a low tolerance for cold weather. But the paper industry is testing out eucalyptus trees engineered to withstand chilly temperatures. The industry thinks that this can help them grow more trees faster and in a smaller area, helping to co… Read the full story on TreeHugger
