<title>China: Fuel Efficiency Standards Tougher Than Those of U.S.</title>
<link>http://www.freeenergy.ca/news/117/ARTICLE/1267/2007-03-17.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[ China has enacted fuel efficiency standards that are stricter than those in the U.S. Not only are the mileage requirements higher, but every vehicle sold must meet the standard of its category. 

From an analysis by US PIRG:

China’s new fuel economy standards require 32 different car and truck weight-based classes to achieve between 19 and 38 mpg by 2005, and between 21 and 43 mpg by 2008. Only 79% of U.S. car sales and 27% of U.S. light truck sales currently meet China’s 2005 standards. Only 19% of car sales and 14% of truck sales currently meet China’s 2008 standard.]]></description>

<title>Sewage and Resource Recovery: Inspiration from Sweden!</title>
<link>http://www.freeenergy.ca/news/126/ARTICLE/1243/2007-03-12.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[ In October 2006, GSA volunteer Stephen Salter visited various cities in Sweden to find out how this country has tackled sewage treatment. What causes a professional engineer and consultant from Victoria to spend his quality holiday time talking sewage in Sweden? That’s easy - for the past several years, Stephen has been an active and integral part of the campaign to bring sewage treatment to Victoria. But his goal has always gone beyond just treating our sewage to seeing what we could get out of what we consider waste. In his research, Stephen has seen how communities around the world get valuable resources from their sewage, including water, biodiesel and heat. But the pictures only answered some of his questions, so off to Sweden he went! Here are some entries from a journal that Stephen kept during his trip.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Over a period of 100,000 years, a great deal can occur in terms of climate change and, at least in the past 100,000 years, in human development. 

As we examine in Climate Science, scientists have become increasingly aware of multi-millennial scale orbital cycles of precession, eccentricity and obliquity which can play an important role in the rise and fall of ice ages. In in Climate History we explore how during the past 100,000 years ago, human beings-- Homo sapiens - have developed from our hominid ancestors, adapting to rugged climates, such as in Europe 40,000 years ago. And in Resources, various links and inquiry ideas are offered for you to dig deeper into these topics.]]></description>

<link>http://www.freeenergy.ca/news/127/ARTICLE/1111/2007-02-19.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[ A fuel cell is a device that converts a fuel such as hydrogen, alcohol, gasoline, or methane into electricity directly. A hydrogen fuel cell produces electricity without any pollution, since pure water is the only byproduct. 

Hydrogen fuel cells are used in spacecraft and other high-tech applications where a clean, efficient power source is needed. 

You can make a hydrogen fuel cell in your kitchen in about 10 minutes, and demonstrate how hydrogen and oxygen can combine to produce clean electrical power.]]></description>

<title>Summary of 10,000 Year Scale</title>
<link>http://www.freeenergy.ca/news/139/ARTICLE/1110/2007-02-19.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[ How has the Earth changed in 10,000 revolutions around the sun? 

The figure to the left shows the amount of ice melting from an Ice Cap in what is now northern Canada and is based on the work of paleoclimatologist Ray Bradley. Reflecting the warming that has occurred after the most recent ice age, this graph provides a snapshot of the range of variability as measured by melting ice caps that can occur during a time span of 10,000 years. Note that the melting that has occurred during the 20th Century is greater than almost all periods for ~4000 years. (See dashed line).]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ I made a more portable version of the solar cell in a flat panel form. I used the clear plastic top from a plastic CD jewel case as the window, and lots of silicone rubber glue to both attach the pieces together and to insulate them from each other.]]></description>

<title>Summary of 1000 Years</title>
<link>http://www.freeenergy.ca/news/139/ARTICLE/1108/2007-02-19.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[ In the past 1000 revolutions around the sun, the Earth has experienced a wide variety of human activity against a background of climate change and variability. In Climate History the focus is on how drought-- some lasting several decades-- impacted cultures such as the Ancient Pueblo peoples who inhabited parts of the American Southwest a millennium ago. 

In Climate Science, we look into how paleoclimatologists are using clues from proxy records such as tree rings and layers of sediment and ice to piece together past climate patterns and events over the course of a millennium, far beyond the limited records from modern instruments such as rain gauges and thermometers. And Resources offers numerous links to paleoclimate resources relating to the past millennium and millennial scale climate variability.]]></description>

<title>Make a solar cell in your kitchen</title>
<link>http://www.freeenergy.ca/news/127/ARTICLE/1107/2007-02-19.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[ It was super, super, super cool, so we thank them for allowing us to post it at TheSolarPlan.com!  This is nifty!

A solar cell is a device for converting energy from the sun into electricity. The high-efficiency solar cells you can buy at Radio Shack and other stores are made from highly processed silicon, and require huge factories, high temperatures, vacuum equipment, and lots of money. 

If we are willing to sacrifice efficiency for the ability to make our own solar cells in the kitchen out of materials from the neighborhood hardware store, we can demonstrate a working solar cell in about an hour.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Longer than most human life-spans, the period of a century offers a wider perspective of oceanic and atmospheric patterns that influence climatic variability than the scope of a decade allows. Patterns that occur between the decadal and centennial (10-100 year) scales include Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), which we explore in Climate Sciences.]]></description>

<title>Summary of 10 Year Time Scale</title>
<link>http://www.freeenergy.ca/news/139/ARTICLE/1105/2007-02-19.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[ Over a span of a decade, we have a more expanded perspective of climate variability than one annual cycle. Longer term patterns of climate variability are revealed that cannot be seen over the course of one year, such as those related to ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation), a powerful force on climate variability explored in more detail in Climate Science. In Climate History, we look at the 1990s and how the costs of contending with natural hazards such as floods and extreme weather events have increased significantly even though the frequency of such storms didn't increase. In the Resources section there are links to additional resources on ENSO and streamflows and the stories they tell.]]></description>

<title>Do It Yourself Windpower</title>
<link>http://www.freeenergy.ca/news/121/ARTICLE/1104/2007-02-19.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[ I have been generating all my electricity for my home and my small wood shop for the last 25 years. I generate my electric power by means of a small wind machine and solar panels (photovoltaic). My home is located on a high ridge in the center of Leelanau County, five-seven miles from Lake Michigan. 
I envision that someday we could have small communities around the country collectively owning and operating their own wind machines which could serve the energy needs of 200-1,000 people. People within these communities could be hired to maintain and operate these community-owned sources of energy. 
The new technology of wind generators does not require hundreds of them in one confined location. There is no need for wind machines to become visual obstructions or noise hazards.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ One full orbit around the sun- the period of a year- serves as a fundamental force of climate variability as well as a measure of time. The essential cause of seasonal climate change during the year is the tilt of Earth's axis, currently 23.5 degree tilt off its axis, which alters the angle of solar radiation and thus its intensity over the course of the year.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Driven by the Earth's spin on its axis, the diurnal cycle of night and day is a powerful driver of variability of weather, as we examine in Climate Science. In Climate History we look into how human beings tend to organize their daily activities (including eight hours of sleep) around the diurnal cycle of day and night. In Resources, you will find links to real-time and time-relevant information about your community.]]></description>
