In continuation of our discussion of alternative energy sources like wind power, we are happy to note that Texas has leased 11,000 acres of land in hopes of producing enough electricity through wind to power 40,000 homes. In addition, we also learned some interesting statistics...

Researchers are working on something only thought of in sci-fi -- a cloaking device. Although it's no where near perfected and only works in various wavelengths, the advancements in technology are happening so fast, it's probably only a matter of time to when we'll be saying "engage cloaking device!"

An article posted on Green Energy News says that the Corporate World is noticing and taking action about Global Warming, even more than before. Is this simply because global warming is affecting companies' bottom lines, or is it more than that?

It seems many products today come out of thin air. Of course, we know this is not true. Products evolve from technological advances over time. In fact, two scientists who came up with the basis for today's massive hard drives are being recognized for their extraordinary work.

An update to a previous blog, the Daimler-Chrysler Smart Car ("Smart Shoe") is coming to America in 2008. Many got a first look at it during the Detroit Auto Show in the previous couple of weeks.

Plastic Logic has developed a process that allows, amongst other things, electronic flexible newsprint that can be helpful to the environment by reducing countless sheets of paper now utilized in the printing industry.

An American manufacturer, HelioVolt Corporation, has received an Innovation Award and Technology Award from the Wall Street Journal and Time Magazine, respectively, for its more efficient method for producing solar cells.
