2010: Nostradamus has predicted World War III in 2010?

According to astrologers and prophets, next year at the Yellow Metal Tiger will not be easy. Nostradamus predictions analysts talk about a virgin whose mysterious death is desired about a leader "ruthless and bloodthirsty, who will lead the" sword and fire.

Pavel Globa, a Russian astrologer famous, believes that 2010 will be an easy year for Russia, but Europe and the U.S. should expect an economic downturn even more pronounced.

Researchers believe that the writings of Nostradamus predictions for proper next year are found in the quatrain in which the tenth of the tenth belt.

The passage mentions, besides virgin mysterious leader and bringer of destruction, and "Ark of the anger of Satan" and the analysts she think this might refer to a ballistic missile.

Famous specialists in the study's belt Nostradamus think of it as catrenes announces the following events for 2010:

- Start of the possible Third World War in November, in which bacteriological and chemical weapons would be employed
- There will be conflicts between European and U.S. West
- Isca be a conflict between Britain and France
- There is the possibility of an armed military conflict in Crimea.
- Europe will suffer an economic nose dive
- Black Sea will be a disaster, involving hydrogen sulphide.

No economic crisis will not pass. Some of the most famous astrologers predicted that economic problems will worsen in 2010 and many large companies will declare bankruptcy.

This will lead to famine, ethnic and religious conflicts and environmental problems.

Global warming will damage crops and massive armed conflict is possible in Central Asia.

Russia will be affected by a wave of earthquakes, one of which will destroy a huge building.

Many cataclysms will occur and the United States. On November 11, 2010, will have triggered a war between two big countries, and only those who will hide in the East or the Caucasus will survive.

Four kings are catch in such a battle broke out and the third war of the world, say the interpreters mysterious quatrains.

Fuel from bacteria, green future of transport

Scientists discover new and new ways of producing fuels, but unfortunately few come to be widely used, where, despite the promotion of cars "green", are preferred as solutions grown.

Rage in terms of bio-fuels is the technology to synthesize it by "recycling" of carbon dioxide.

How is it possible? Using a genetically modified bacteria that consume the gas and converts it into liquid.

The reaction occurs through photosynthesis, without the intervention of specialized devices - need only pure solar energy.

Researchers say that this method is less costly than other ways of obtaining fuel, such as the plant.

Mathematical formula for perfect side parking

Those who hold a driving license I know what side and what a car can be difficult when space is limited.

Britain's Vauxhall Motors hired him as a professor of mathematical formula to find the minimum distance between cars in a car that can park sideways.

We invite you so admire below and decide if it worthwhile save.

r - radius of circle
L - wheelbase
k - distance between front axle and the front of the machine
w - width of the car park behind which

The formula gives the minimum length required parking space, in addition to the length of the private car.

The only known remains behind which the width of the vehicle park, but a roulette can easily stay in glove compartment.

In practice, no one standing to measure a car, make a very quick calculation and then decide if there is parking in that area.

Yet no one prevents you from doing some indicative calculations.

How to install a Christmas tree larger than my own house

How to install a tree which is not less than 15.24 meters in his own house??? You think you can???
One held with English resolved to prove that we can! Images no longer need no introduction watch them ...
It looks like the roof top of the tree leaves, but is only an optical illusion.
Greig Hiwe, which bought British gigant tree, cut tree in several parts, each of which is laid on each floor of a house.
Peak Brad has been mounted on the roof, leaving the impression that the tree crosses the entire house.

China surprises with a huge building powered by the sun

The construction of the image shows the development of China's true power - the "Sun Dial", the largest business center in the world with solar power.

Roof with solar panels has an area of 75,000 square meters, and below it are huge spaces for exhibitions, research laboratories, conference and training rooms, offices and even a hotel.

In making the imposing steel structures used very little, only 1% of the amount used for raising the famous stadium "Bird's Nest" (Bird's Nest), who hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics.

To save as much energy, the walls were isolated using cutting-edge technologies. The official inauguration of the building, located in Dezhou city, event happened during the 4th World Solar City Congress in the autumn.

The primacy of this achievement but it might take less, because the Arabs are ready to close in February 2010 an entire solar city - Masdar City. Their plans may still be foiled by the economic crisis, felt even in the emirate of luxury and extravagant - Abhu Dhabi.

The first bionic arm controlled directly by the central nervous system

It was made of Italian researchers from Sant'Anna Superior School of Pisa and attached to the forearm of a young Brazilian origin by a team of doctors at a university hospital in Rome.

Experiment which turned the patient into a new part of Luke Skywalker LifeHand project, involving research institutes throughout Europe.

Pierpaolo Petruzziello, 26, lost his left arm in 2006, following a street accident. With hand-made, consisting of five fingers of aluminum and equipped with sensors, steel joints and hands, covered by a sort of "glove" carbon fiber, he has now proved he can to raise his fist again, to unite with finger and thumb to move the little finger.


All this thanks to the four electrodes made by German company Ibmt that, once implanted within the two nerves in his arm, allowing dialogue between the brain and hand.

It's filament made of biocompatible material, thickness of 10 nanometers and a length of 180, dial each of 8 channels.

Brain transmit a nerve impulse control through normal and present a microchip and elaborates on the electrodes register the signal, sending it on the driver member.
In addition, bionic hand not only allow patients to order and make a move, but also receive sensory stimuli ..

Champagne is healthy for the heart and brain

British researchers found that champagne contains a significant amount of polyphenols - plant substances that are believed to have a vasodilator and stimulates blood flow to the heart and brain.

And more good news is that after the opinion of specialists from the University of Reading, United Kingdom, which surveyed, beneficial properties are not characteristic only grades expensive champagne, but also the cheapest.

So drink a glass or two of champagne, to celebrate, is not only enjoyable, but healthy.

Scientists believe that polyphenols increase the level of nitrogen oxide in the blood, leading to dilation of blood vessels.

Sony Ericsson Elm

Sony Ericsson today announced two environmentally friendly mobile GreenHeart series. One of them is Sony Ericsson Elm, a special phone in terms of construction.
Sony Ericsson Elm is great by the fact that it curved back. The manufacturer claims that this curve gives extra usability. Otherwise, except back curved, the normal candybar.
Elm is made of recycled plastic and contains no harmful chemical elements to the environment. Environmental aspect of the terminal is completed by a series of applications seeking to awaken the spirit of environmental.

Sony Ericsson Elm has a 2.2 inch screen with QVGA resolution. The device supports HSDPA, GPS, Wi-Fi and microSD slot is also present on duty. The camera has 5 MP and measured internal storage space 280 MB.

Sony Ericsson Elm will be launched in the first quarter of 2010.

The first electric boat was inaugurated in Amsterdam

It is perfectly quiet and emits only water vapor. Nemo is known as H2 first electric boat has a capacity of 87 passengers and navigate the canals of Amsterdam's historic center.

Nemo prototype ship-H2, for excursions, is powered by fuel cell technology, which convert chemical energy into electricity.

Hydrogen and oxygen in the cells are mixed to produce electricity, which means the boat is moving with 0 emissions to air.

H2 Nemo designer believes that in a few years, boats propelled by this green technology will become the majority in Amsterdam, a city with 125 channels navigate the hundreds of boats every day.

Prototype construction cost 3 million euros, approximately two times more than that of an equivalent boat runs on a diesel engine and Nemo H2 hydrogen refueling needs every day, while an ordinary boat ( and pollutant) their tank once a week.

Those who developed the project but Nemo H2 are confident that, in future, green technologies will become more accessible and more efficient, replacing them while on the pollutant.

About Ecosfera

How well have seen biologists, man is the only creature who destroys the environment in which he lives. Why? Answers would be many: indifference, lack of education, lack of culture, unconscious make man the biggest enemy of the natural world.
The man has not yet learned or has forgotten how bnne said to live in harmony with nature.
Therefore, this section of Ecology wants to make environmental education, intends to pass the formulas considered sometimes stupid like "do not litter on the ground" to make you realize that every day breathe exhaust gases and tap water is too than chlorine.

Environment best describes the degree of civilization of the society we live. Therefore, make good nature, is to make a better society and individuals it.

To live in harmony with nature - it really so difficult to achieve? Glass, paper, plastics can be recycled with success to invent the washing machine without detergent, travel by bicycle are healthier than the car and use public transportation reduces pollution in the city.

The future depends on us. But we care?

Stop phantom energy consumption

Some electronic devices and appliances consume energy when they are closed, but continues to be connected to an outlet.

This type of consumption is called "ghost consumption, and these devices are also called" vampire appliances "or" energy vampires ".
Did you know that on average live about 20 of these "energy vampires" in the house - from banalele chargers for mobile phones left in the sockets while they were disconnected from each other, up to televisions and kitchen robots?

But recognize this as "vampires"?

Here are some clues: they are usually have remote control devices (TVs, DVDs, VCRs, audio equipment), an electronic board displaying the information that goes continuously (electric ovens, microwave ovens, clocks with electronic display) or batteries Rechargeable (cordless phones).

What can we do?
First loaders do not forget to remove unused outlet. Then, if you leave home for longer periods, remove your TV, audio and video devices, microwave ovens and other appliances from the mains.
And last but not least - buy products that register a low power consumption. Even so, these vampires will suck less power.

Mars - Planet blue

Past Mars was certainly a "blue", today announced U.S. researchers at the University of Hawaii.

They found more than 200 deposits of salt, some almost 26 kilometers long, similar to those produced on Earth by evaporation of salty lake or ocean.
"We can not yet assess whether Mars was covered by oceans because deposits appear to be separated from each other. Moreover, there can be as salt from the eruption of underground springs that once evaporated, could leave behind a large amount of minerals, "said mikki Osterloo, coordinator of the research team.

The images on the Red planet's surface were first taken through the telescope THEMIS (Thermal Emission Imaging System) at the University of Arizona, who used a system of infrared photography.
The most important aspect is but one concerning the existence of life in the water on Mars.

The fact that salt preserve organic matter could be a first step toward discovering life on this planet. On Earth, bacteria found in salt deposits were revived after "hibernates" for millions of years.

NASA has already started the project of launching a spacecraft to gather samples of Martian salt deposits, at the latest, next year.

Now, scientists analyze potential landing sites of the robot that will explore the Red Planet in 2009.

What thinking? Should go...

City Bike

City Bike SuperMinimal dropped the gear, sheets, chains and other items for distribution. It pedals mounted directly on the rear wheel.

Gates are very close to each other, reducing the total length much. What follows? A very good bike for slipping through traffic ... position is not at all thanks inconvenience cleverly constructed saddle...

Subaru WRX STI Trax

Subaru WRX STI Trax is exclusively mountains covered by snow and ski slopes is a sort of snow more developed.

In the sense that it offers protection and warmth of the interior of the car. Basically, the most important changes in the cost to replace conventional wheels with a set of tracks.
The car was further fastened, inside the rollcage installed and a protection.

The engine develops 400 hp and traction is - obviously - in full.

Dynamics is not the same level as in the situation that has car tires for asphalt, gravel or snow, but the WRX STi compensates by design, primarily, and the ability to handle snow bank.

6 bras multifunctional

Did you know there are bras that detected cancer, which are golf courses, gas masks or help you quit smoking or against wrinkles!

1.Bra where you can play golf!

Who would have thought such an idea? Well, the Japanese did it!

Triumph introduced there a bra that once tore down the body turns into a trail of golf and a half meters, ideal for a little relaxation in the office ... creation is called Nice Cup in Bra and even utters "Nice one! " after a ball is sent to the hole.

Our question is: okay, okay, get off bra magic and pass to golf, but what remains in the body Miss? :P

2.Bra that help you quit smoking!

Imagination and aggressive marketing have had to occur, all of the Triumph, a bra that helps carry you quit smoking.

Bra emanates from jasmine and lavender scents. These plants seem to influence the need to smoke, decreasing it.

In addition, Triumph said that intimate piece was treated with "liquid titanium, a substance that rejects tobacco smoke.

3.Bra gas mask!

This is really good. What do you do, women are, if you wake up in an oppressive atmosphere, full of noxious gas?

Well outta pretty bra and share it with a close brotherly. Fifty - fifty. One half is gas mask, with several special filters. This bra was designed by Dr. Elena Bodnar, who lived a good time in Ukraine.

Ms. Bodnar said: "We must be ready always, in any place and at any time, virtually every woman always wear a bra ..." Intelligence invention, is not it?

4.Bra with the detection of cancer!

University of Bolton in the UK has invented a bra that includes a first detection of cancer.

Do not worry, not implemented any radio transmitter dangerous for health but a sensor that analyzes changes in temperature.

Thus one can detect a tumor in early stage or be able to observe a cancer treatment. Bra was designed by 2007 and must appear in stores soon.

It's undoubtedly a very useful function.

5.Bra put on husbands ...

It's called Smart Memory Bra and has about rogue behavior.

This bra detected some changes that occur when the body increases libido carrier. In response, a mechanism is not very complicated and I close up breasts enough that all men of the neighborhood was a crazy.

Bra is designed by a company from Slovenia named Lisca.

6.Bra against wrinkles!

It is not a bra. If we get after issue, not really look like.

If we get by function, is even more than that.

Called In Decollette, bra that protects the breast area, where wrinkles usually occur with increasing age.

The song is a material that just sit there and let the breasts quite mobile.

Daimler wants to launch a hydrogen car

German car manufacturer Daimler is working on a project on building a car that uses hydrogen as fuel.

Technology has a low environmental impact and the car to be launched in 2015. "The price of this vehicle would be close to that of a diesel hybrid model," said Herbert Kohler, Daimler's research director.

To move to mass production of such vehicles, Daimler must reduce the amount of platinum, about 60 grams, needed to build this engine.

Thus, until the launch of the company intends to use to reach approximately 10 grams of platinum in each engine.

Vehicles using fuel cell technology competitive with that of hybrid cars, emitting only water and heat.

LCDs more damaging to the eye than plasmas

According to a study by researchers at the University of Munich, affecting less than the plasma compared with LCD TVs.

German specialists have tested a model NeoPDP Panasonic plasma and LCD television with a comparable model.

The experiment took place in "Generation Research Program" from the Center for Humanities.

The study showed that viewers who watched his eyes relaxed plasma were being forced to move his eyes slowly.

The more objects are rendered their accounts is clearer and firmer, with so few moves needed to perceive images.

In the experiment, people were watching movies and on and on NeoPDP Panasonic LCD TV.

The eyes have "worked" less in the case of plasma, they say.

Also, pupils dilate and shrink less or if plasma and is also blink less frequently.

German researchers have established that facial muscle activity was more intense in the viewers on the plasma, indicating a greater interest for the content viewed.

Porsche introduces the Li-Ion 911 GT3 and Boxster Spyder

Porsche has announced the introduction of Li-ion batteries in cars, instead of classical Pb-acid batteries, used almost since the invention of the car.
The new type of battery will weigh less than 6 kilograms.

New Li-Ion offered by Porsche will be at least 10 kg lighter than a traditional battery with 60Ah cells lead. Porsche will offer new optional battery since January 2010, for clients 911 GT3, 911 GT3 and Boxster RS Spyder at a price of Euro 1904, when purchasing a new car. The battery will be delivered separately and will be fitted on request to replace conventional battery.
There after, customers will be available for old Porsche, at a price of 2499 euros.

The great disadvantage of this battery is limited by the temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, below which no longer works.
For this reason, owners must use the old battery in winter.
But the advantages are multiple and related to low weight, important for consumption and performance, but also a simpler maintenance.

New dimensions are identical to a conventional battery, except the height which is lower by 7 centimeters.
Connections and parameters are fully compatible with the traditional.
Capacity will be 18 Ah, the equivalent capacity normally available in a 60 Ah lead acid battery.
Lithium-Ion battery has a reduced load time.

Solar panels on roofs, parking lots

Several French players and / or European energy looking for parking uncovered implant devices to support solar panels for electricity production. Alter-negotiation company was mandated by these operators to negotiate with owners of parking was to be interlecutor and make technical and administrative feasibility studies. The parking area must have a minimum of 90 parking spaces and a south exposure.

Parking for each owner advantage of the operation are not insignificant:

- Improve parking by installing a structure (whose investment is made by the operator) that protects users and vehicles against adverse weather conditions and sun rays;

- Sun protection vehicle generates a minimal use of air conditioning, responsible mostly for the production of carbon dioxide, and reduce fuel consumption;

- Promoting your image as Secretary of the Environment;

- Providing a down payment for rent. Furthermore, a photovoltaic installation is not any risk in terms of safety goods and people, the noise or smell, the issue of toxic pollution into the atmosphere or groundwater blades. Facilities made are reversible (can always be removed). As the owner does not take care of nothing more than to provide parking and to sign a concession contract for 20 years. No fee (feasibility study, impact) do not enter your obligations or the beginning of operation or during operation of the plant.

Pocket Piglets

Micropig not even getting a reach. A copy costs up to 700 pounds, at just over 1100 dollars.

With a length of only 35 inches, piglets have become very popular in Britain. Interpreter character Ron Weasley in Harry Potter are among the stars who have bought one.

The first floating wind was opened in North Sea

The first wind that floats on water has been inaugurated in Norwegian waters in the North Sea.

Called Hywind, the turbine is 65 meters tall and weighs 5,300 tons. The first such device that can be used even in deep waters 120 to 700 meters.

Hywind will begin to produce energy in a few weeks, the filmmakers say the project.

The technology could be used by countries like Japan, South Korea, the United States and Spain.

Technology: wind energy - at our disposal

The ambitious project was started two years ago over the U.S. by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory in translation-free "National Renewable Energy Laboratory) in partnership with Xcel Energy, having as main objective testing and perfecting a system of generating electricity based on wind energy removing its main drawback: because of inconsistency which energy is available when it is most needed.

As time can not be controlled, the solution came as a way of storing electricity. Thus, regardless of the hours that the wind would blow with its maximum power, energy will be accumulated and used at the appropriate time (if the application itself, it will be returned to the national grid power during peak consumption) .

Maldives introduce green tax on tourists

Maldives archipelago, threatened by sea level rise, owing to alleged climate change, one to introduce a new environmental tax for all tourists who visit the region, tourists are anchor Save. Holiday destination, famous especially for high standards of luxury and atolii Services of white sand, the Maldives have made a name as a supporter in mitigating climate change because rising sea levels will result in sinking several islands of the archipelago until 2100.

Economy Insuleleor Maldives, $ 850, is supported at a rate of more than one quarter of their luxurious services offered to tourists, but who have not imposed a tax INKA, tax meant to help them fight climate change.

President Mohammed Nasheed, who drafted the plans in March to make Maldives a first nation in the world carbon impartial about this decade, said that an environmental tax to be charged in a soon to all tourists. "We introduced a tax" green ".

It is only a matter of time before parliament will approve and I hope it will do $ 3 per tourist per day," Nasheed told reporters in Male, capital of the Indian Ocean archipelago . Based on an annual average of 700.000 tourists who spend on average 3 days in the islands, resulting approximately 6.3 million dollars annually.

An earthquake of magnitude 8 on the Richter scale hit Samoa, causing a tsunami

A tsunami, caused by an earthquake of magnitude 8 on the Richter scale, hit Samoa in the Pacific archipelago. A balance sheet shows at least 100 people dead.

In American Samoa has been decreed a state of calamity. From witness accounts, some coastal villages were completely destroyed by water.

In Japan, and snow is transformed into electricity!

Although it seems incredible, the Japanese know how to profit from a heavy winter. They found a way to make gathered snow in winter in power.

Now, several buildings in town are cooled during the warmer months with snow.

Snow than in the Japanese city of Numata, in cold season, so people were thought to win the ... snow.

Plows push the snow tonnes entire warehouses. The owners of flower shops, for example, remove profit from the cold. The other side of the plywood shop are located almost six tons of snow, which keeps the flowers fresh. All in snow and food is placed.

In addition, air conditioner use in summer are supplied with electricity from the same winter gift.

Japanese hopes that their idea will be applied successfully in other cold regions of the world.

Record of PET dive

River Lady could enter the Guinness Book of Records as the number of PET floating on its waters. We might think that the bottles in the river exceeding the number of fish.

Light pollution

What is light pollution?
Light pollution is caused by inefficient urban lighting, the lighting of roads and highways incorrect or inadequate private lighting and causes a number of problems.
It speaks of light pollution when artificial lights are so numerous and ubiquitous that harms normal and desirable dark at night.
Thus, at nightfall, numerous artificial light sources (urban lighting, billboards, office permanently illuminated ...) replace the sun in cities to the smallest village.
Light pollution is a form of pollution because until now very little was mentioned less hazardous to health in comparison with other conventional sources of pollution: waste, fog, dirty water ...
Light pollution means:
-Huge energy costs unnecessary
-Security issues Destruction of ecosystems based on night-day sequence
-Health problems in the population
-Reducing activity astronomical observatories, and amateur astronomers
-Since 1830, responsible for lighting Paris lit just one of two full moon nights to save energy.

Light pollution is several ways, namely:

-Over-illumination

-Night sky brightness

-Light blindness

-Excessive light clusters

-Light passing the limit property

Now I will say a few words about these types of pollution.

-OVERR-ILlUMINATION-

Over-illumination is the excessive use of light.

Over-illumination is produced by several factors:

-Model improper bulbs used for office buildings and lighting set standards too high for different types of work.

-Keeping bulbs lit in offices where the night is no longer working.

-Choosing the wrong types of lamps and their installation being incorrect that they do not direct the light directly onto the ground, but the sky.

-Lack of timers, the presence of sensors or other types of controlled switches to switch off the light when it is no longer necessary.

-Inadequate maintenance of electrical systems resulting in waste of energy and therefore additional cost.

-Insufficient information and training to people about using energy efficient systems.

-NIGHT SKY BRINGHTNESS-

This type of light pollution refers to the production of "domes of light" above the overcrowded areas. In these areas, because of public lighting based on mercury vapor lamps, the sky is lit in a color. The brilliance of the night sky above the city is caused by the fact that most lamps allow massive leakage of light to heaven.

This light is reflected in the city smog and the atmospheric layers and produces a true halo.

Urban halo is often brighter than the streets where it should be light. In this type of light pollution you can see very well the waste of energy. I can see going out of town where you live.

A private and public regulatory lighting, along with reducing air pollution would lead to a decrease in halo city.

-LIGHT BLINDNESS-

The lights are very bright and we enter directly into eyes not to see us do well the difference between light and dark.

This brightening may be of several types:

-Glare - with effects similar to those caused by sunlight. It produces temporary or permanent visual impairments.

-Glow producing temporary blindness - has an effect similar to that produced by the headlights of a car, the light that is transmitted through the fog. It produces significant temporary reduction and visual capacity.

-Glow disturbing - not in itself create a dangerous situation, being more irritating or annoying, but a long-term exposure can cause eye fatigue or mental.

-EXCESSIVE LIGHT CLUSTERS-

The lights of several types gathered at one place can cause confusion, can distract from obstacles (including those that seek to illuminate), can lead to accidents.

-LIGHT PASSING THE LIMIT PROPETY-

This type of light is passing from one property to another neighbor over the fence. A major problem occurs when light from a powerful bulb lighting used for input or garden into the room causing their neighbors insomnia or inability to look through their window in May.

The effects of light pollution

-Waste of energy

-Health effects

-Destruction of ecosystems

-Security issues

-Effects on astronomy

How to reduce light pollution?

Solution for reducing light pollution is very simple. It is reduced to ensure that the lamps light only where needed, not toward heaven, not into neighbors homes and in any case into the eyes of drivers. Use of green lamps (maximum efficiency) is the perfect solution. They should only be directed downward and not in other directions.

2.5 XL Wind turbines from GE Energy have the capacity for extremely low temperatures

The most advanced wind turbine from GE Energy 2.5-XL, is now available with a package for extremely low temperatures (CWE).
Adding package CWE guarantee operation of 2.5 xl wind turbines at low temperatures up to -30 ⁰ C, and in regime survival, without being put to work at temperatures up to -40 ⁰ C. CWE package is particularly important for wind turbines to work in Canada, where low temperatures are common.


Earlier this year GE announced that turbines of 2.5 xl, already enshrined in applications in Europe and Asia, will be released in North America in 2010. Initially, CWE package was developed for wind turbines of 1.5 megawatts (MW) and was adapted for turbines 2.5 XL, that the latest product of technology developed for wind turbine company.
"With over 4,400 wind turbines installed in locations characterized by low temperatures, GE has a long experience on the implementation of the turbines in adverse conditions," said Victor Abate, vice president of renewable resources, GE Energy. 2.5xl turbines are the most advanced technology of GE wind turbines in terms of efficiency, reliability and ability to connect to the network.

They are designed to ensure the highest annual energy production of their class and builds on the success of the 1.5 MW wind turbines from GE, that is most commonly used wind units in the world, currently being installed over 12,000 such turbines. The generator 2.5 MW turbines of 2.5 xl can provide a higher production projects on a smaller field and the High performance thanks to their sound over distances of kickback noise receptors can be minimized, allowing the installation of a number more units on a given area of land.

"Despite global economic challenges, we see further opportunities for sustainable growth in North American wind industry," said Abate. "Adding the package for extremely low temperatures in our model of 2.5 xl greatly expanded our ability to handle various needs of our customers.

According to the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA), Canada has surpassed last year's installed wind energy capacity of 2,000 megawatts and is expected to exceed 3,000 megawatts in 2009. Currently, wind power provide about 1% of Canada's electricity needs, wind turbines in this country representing a production capacity of over 2,800 megawatts, enough to meet the needs of over 860,000 homes. Province of Ontario is currently the leader in wind energy segment in Canada, with an installed capacity of 1162 megawatts, providing clean electricity for 300,000 homes.
Currently, GE has a strong presence in the wind industry in Canada, with an installed base of 938 MW (39%) nationwide and 780 MW in Ontario (62%). Also, GE is a major supporter of the initiative "WindVision 2025" the association CanWEA collaboration with federal and provincial partners in order to ensure the 20% of Canada's electricity on wind power by 2025, thereby reaching a total of approximately 52,000 new jobs "green" and new investments worth 79 billion nationwide.

Green buildings, energy efficiency

How would you protect the environment to sit in the house? It sounds impossible, but it is not. It would be very easy if you live in a green building.
How would you protect the environment to sit in the house? It sounds impossible, but it is not. It would be very easy if you live in a green building.
Such construction requires, in short, use of renewable energy sources and protecting the environment by using recyclable materials and adopting a system of heating water using solar energy.
What is a green building?
