Excess carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere created by the widespread burning of fossil fuels is the major driving force of global climate change, and researchers the world over are looking for new ways to generate power that leaves a smaller carbon footprint. Via Szabolcs Kósa
vidistar's insight:
El exceso de dióxido de carbono en la atmósfera de la Tierra, creado por la quema generalizada de combustibles fósiles es la principal fuerza impulsora del cambio climático global, y los investigadores de todo el mundo están buscando nuevas formas de generar energía que deja una huella de carbono más pequeña.

If all goes according to plan, Finland will become the first European country to stop using coal, with a goal to phase out the energy source by 2025. Currently, Finland imports all of its coal from nearby countries such as Russia and Poland. Annual import volumes range from less than 3 million to 9 million tons, depending on the rainy or dry climate, according to the Finnish Coal Info association’s website. Eliminating coal usage could help the country save millions of euros a year, since coal imports cost Finland between 70 million to more than 300 million euros ($91 million to more than $388 million) annually, according to Finnish Coal Info.

In this video Wade Adams presents a seminar on nanotechnology and the future of energy. He discusses the history of nanotechnology and the people who have contributed to the field. He also talks about the functionality of nanotechnolgy and how this technology can be enhanced. The presentation gives a brief story of how a gold nanoshell that was used on animals to cure various types of cancer. Although it has not be approved by the government, this has been tested on humans with positive results. Extensive research is still being carried out on enchancing the capabilites of nanotechnology.

Cadarache: In the dusty highlands of Provence in southern France, workers have excavated a vast rectangular pit 17 metres (56 feet) down into the unforgiving rocks. From my raised vantage point, I can see bright yellow mechanical diggers and trucks buzzing around the edge of the pit, looking toy-like in the huge construction site. Above us, the fireball Sun dries the air at an unrelenting 37C. These are embryonic stages to what is perhaps humankind's most ambitious scientific and engineering project: to replicate the Sun here on Earth. Via Szabolcs Kósa, vidistar Delete the scoop?
