If you live more than about 50 miles from a refinery, then it's unlikely that you or the gas station owner knows who actually refined the...
At this point? No. If wind power, for instance, is providing 1.5% of demand, then it's pretty easy for the fossil fuel plants to take up the slack...
Sorry if I wasn't clear, the annual Altamont output is 1.1 terawatt*hour. The theoretical instantaneous output is around 576 MW. Today's...
That may be somewhat true, but none of the current crop of eco-friendly electricity generation techniques will make it as a major player unless we...
Ah, now that requires an opinion. A deeper look at the NREL data from many sites indicates that bird death occurs at nearly every wind capture...
Pat, The Altamont area is "notorious" for the deaths of its raptors. Please note that the same studies indicate that part of the issue at...
From the OP's question: Many hydroelectric systems already utilize what they call "pumped storage". Here's the Wikipedia article:...
In general I agree, l/100k or g/100miles might make more "intuitive" sense to people, but, when you get right down to it, it's the same data....
For those of you who are still interested in this, there has been a significant change in the solar power industry since the PriUPS articles were...

I have the factory EV mod in our 2005. We live at the top of a hill, with about a 700 foot elevation drop over 2 miles to the freeway. If I have...
And hoist by my own petard, since I mis-spelled "nickel" as "nickle" and didn't catch it until after the post. Can't seem to edit it, so...
No, that's not the case. "Ohm/cm3" is shorthand for "ohms per cubic centimeter". Therefore, as you get more cubic centimeters you get more ohms....
I Googled "ohm/cm" (conductivity) and got: Results 1 - 10 of about 241,000 for ohm/cm. or "ohm/m" (also conductivity): Results 1 - 10 of...
And then you have to question the science when even the basic facts aren't correct. Units of resistivity/conductivity are ohm/length (or...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(tochatihu @ Sep 7 2006, 02:09 PM) 315948</div> Thanks everyone for all of the information. Now that I know what...
My wife drives an '05 Prius. When we first got the car we looked through all of the information here on gas mileage and were patient as our...
OK, I didn't find this task nearly as difficult as many of the stories on this and related threads, but the caveat is that I work in the control...
