POPSIs This Bike Coming or Going? This story, about an odd cycling couple is pretty. And even more interesting is this customer built bike they ride around on. When you read the notes you'll understand why the rider in the back doesn't mind being in the back. I also like the discussion about the solar panel that also acts as a roof shade on hot days. Talk about multi-tasking. It's a pretty cool story, worth the read.

POPSCalifornia Businesses Buzzing With Solar Energy Innovations

The first such company is Solar Reserve, Santa Monica, C. Solar Reserve has a 25 year contract to supply energy to about 75,000 homes by using solar radiation-catching mirrors to heat molten salt to over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. I have cliped a diagram of the system used by Solar Reserve below, which is one I had not heard of. Another company is First Solar, Blythe, CA. On December 21, 2009, First Solar opened the largest photovoltaic power station in California, which the company plans to replicate in order to expand its utility business.

POPSCopenhagen Junk Science Summit Will Produce As Much Carbon as Malawi
The United Nations conference set targets for cutting global greenhouse gas emissions from farming, industry and transport in a bid to prevent dangerous global warming. The aim is to keep the rise in world temperatures to within 2C by the end of the century. Climate scientists believe a 40 per cent cut on 1990 levels of emissions is needed by 2020 " rising to an 80 per cent cut by 2050. At the same time, Western nations will be asked to pay into a fund worth around 100billion a year to help developing countries protect themselves against rising sea levels, droughts and floods, and build their own wind turbines, clean power plants and arrays of solar panels. President Obama and Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen have conceded that the conference will not produce a legally binding treaty. The UN has confirmed that the flights, rail, bus, food and energy from the conference will generate at least 41,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
