Enterprising startups (Sungevity for example) exploit the growing interest in solar power for either public or private use. In spite of solar’s advantages, solar systems have proven to be costly on installation.  Typically installation is slow and has a few unwanted side effects, such as drilling holes in roofs (sometimes leading to compromises in structural [...]

Sunny weather is melting the Arctic ice

Author: admin | Filed under: Bioscience & Medicine, Energy & Environment Wednesday Apr 23,2008

The extremely sunny weather last year has lead to a loss of Arctic ice in a degree that has never been seen before.
“In a warmer world, the thinner sea ice is becoming increasingly sensitive to year-to-year variations in weather and cloud patterns,” says NCAR’s Jennifer Kay, the lead author of the study. “A single unusually [...]
