Electric Car News; Top Things You Don't Know About the Electric Car (But Should)

Electric Car News; Top Things You Don't Know About the Electric Car (But Should)


September 10th - (Clean energy stocks blog)

1. HOW THE HECK IT WORKS

In a (layman's) nutshell...Rechargeable batteries provide electricity to a controller, which powers a motor, which, in turn, spins the wheels. Yup, that's it. Instead of filling up with gas, batteries are "filled up" with electricity. Recharging can be done by plugging into a normal 120- or 240-volt electrical outlet and takes anywhere from 4–10 hours.

2. HOW FAR CAN IT GO

Though driving range might vary depending on the type of vehicle and batteries, most EVs can go 80–100 miles on a single charge. And while that's not sufficient for a Thelma & Louise-type adventure, for the general population, it's plenty of power to get to work and home again with a few errands in between. Plus, similar to fuel-powered cars, the way you drive an electric car can affect battery efficiency.



3. HOW SAFE IT IS

Because there are 3 different categories of electric cars – Highway Capable, 3-wheeled "motorcycles," and Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV) – safety standards vary somewhat. Low-speed NEVs and 3-wheeled vehicles are currently subject to different requirements, but all highway-capable electric vehicles are regulated by the same standards as gas-powered vehicles. And in fact, in March of this year, 41 countries met in Geneva and agreed on international safety standards for fully electric vehicles.



4. HOW MUCH IT COSTS

Until recently, the Tesla Roadster was one of the few highway-worthy EVs on the market. And at $110K a pop, it was about as accessible as a NASA space shuttle. But with the Chevy Volt expected to hit showrooms later this year at the high end of $30K, and the Nissan LEAF scheduled for a December release at around $28–35K, electric cars are becoming more and more affordable.



5. HOW MUCH IT SAVES

Subtract from these prices the $7,500 federal tax credit you’ll get if you buy an electric car before the end of 2011, and the odds of being able to afford an EV in the near future jump from out-of-this-world to pretty-darn-good. And that’s without mentioning how much you can save on gas and maintenance.

5.1 HOW IT ALL ADDS UP

Electrical vehicles are 100% emission-free and 97% cleaner than gas-powered vehicles. According to Scientific American.com, the cost of charging an electric vehicle is equivalent to paying 75 cents per gallon in gas. Over the life of a vehicle, the total “fuel” savings are likely to be thousands of dollars. They’re also 3 times as efficient. It all adds up to a happier, richer you and a happier, richer planet.

Investorideas.com - Agriculture News; New World Bank Report Sees Growing Global Demand for Farmland

Investorideas.com - Agriculture News; New World Bank Report Sees Growing Global Demand for Farmland


WASHINGTON - September 10, 2010 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - A new World Bank report says volatility in food prices has been a key factor behind a rising tide of large scale farmland purchases in the developing world, which can pose social and environment risks, if not well managed.


The report, Rising Global Interest in Farmland, calls on developing countries to recognize and respect resource rights of their people, warning that countries with poor records of formally recognized land tenure attract strong investor interest – which raises real concerns about the ability to protect vulnerable people from losing their land.
While highlighting benefits behind large scale land purchases, the report also calls for more transparency and monitoring of such purchases, saying in countries where demand for land has recently risen, limited screening of proposals, lack of due diligence and an air of secrecy has created an environment conducive to weak governance.
"These large land acquisitions can come at a high cost. The veil of secrecy that often surrounds these land deals must be lifted so poor people don't ultimately pay the heavy price of losing their land," said World Bank Managing Director, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. "With food prices still highly volatile, large scale land deals are a growing reality in the developing world, highlighting the need for concerted action for the benefit of all parties."


Spurred on by the 2008 food, fuel and financial crisis and continuing food volatility, the report says the number of reported large scale farmland deals amounted to 45 million hectares in 2009 alone. That's compared with an average expansion rate of 4 million hectares a year in the decade leading up to 2008.


The report, which draws firsthand data from 14 countries, also says while large scale farmland deals can deliver benefits to people in developing countries, limited attention to technical and economic viability as well as environmental and social impact has doomed many past attempts to jumpstart agricultural growth through large scale farming.
It says in many countries, both those with and without land available for expansion, there is large scope to dramatically increase productivity on currently cultivated land, a move that could have major impacts on poverty and food security.


"Currently none of the African countries of interest to investors achieves even a quarter of its potential productivity.. Rather than just focus only on an expansion of uncultivated land, it is important that investors and governments support improvements in technology, infrastructure, and institutions that can improve productivity on existing farmland," says Klaus Deininger, lead economist in the Bank's Development Research Department and author of the report.
The report reveals a mixed picture on how land deals are handled in Africa, Latin America, Europe and Asia. Some countries have worked with smallholder farmers and use competitive bidding to foster investment deals that benefit local people. This generated significant employment, provided access to markets and technology, and helped to improve social services at the local level.
But it says far too many other governments have been caught unprepared by the increase in demand and made deals with outside investors without first clearly recognizing existing rights. It says in some cases where people's rights have been ignored there has been conflict over land, undermining investment incentives. Many people have few options for recourse when they are hurt by specific ventures or investors fail to live up to their promises.
Clear Need for Guiding Principles and Policies
The report calls for a country-led approach to outside investment that sets clear criteria and recognizes land rights, so allowing existing owners to negotiate directly with investors for fair compensation. It says when local governments play a stronger role and factor land investments into their overall strategies, rural people will reap the benefits. It also calls for greater public disclosure, broader access to information and vigilant monitoring by civil society organizations.
Early findings from the report have already prompted the World Bank Group to work with FAO, IFAD, UNCTAD and other stakeholders to develop seven voluntary principles for responsible agricultural investment.
It says for investments to do no harm, be sustainable and contribute to development they should adhere to these principles: : 1) Respect land and resource rights; 2) Ensure food security; 3) Ensure transparency, good governance and a proper enabling environment; 4.) Consultation and participation; 5) Responsible agro-enterprise investing; 6) Social sustainability and 7) environmental sustainability.
The Bank is now working with governments and other stakeholders to translate the principles into practice. A multi-stakeholder e-discussion on the farmland report will take place later this month.
Hosted by the Global Donor Platform for Rural Development and facilitated by the International Institute for Sustainable Development, it will garner inputs from farmer groups, CSOs, private sector representatives and public policymakers on options for viable policies moving forward.
The Bank is now working with governments and other stakeholders to translate the principles into practice.

Join the e-discussion at http://ediscussion.donorplatform.org/
The report, a joint production of the Bank's research and agriculture and rural departments, predicts the wave of interest will continue. By conservative estimates, in developing countries six million hectares of additional land will be under production each year to 2030. Two-thirds of the expansion over the next 20 years is likely to be in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, where potential farmland is relatively abundant. Multi-stakeholder efforts to monitor and share experience about successful approaches and partnerships between investors and local producers will be of great importance.

Investorideas.com - Cleantech News; Leader on Clean Energy Joins World Bank

Investorideas.com - Cleantech News; Leader on Clean Energy Joins World Bank

WASHINGTON - September 10, 2010 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) - The World Bank today announced the appointment of Professor of Energy Daniel M. Kammen of the University of California, Berkeley as the organization's Chief Technical Specialist for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency. This is a new position created to provide strategic leadership on the policy, technical, and operational fronts. The aim is to enhance the operational impact of the Bank's renewable energy and energy efficiency activities while expanding the institution's role as an enabler of global dialogue on moving energy development to a cleaner and more sustainable pathway.


The appointment comes amid unprecedented demand from developing countries for World Bank support in their efforts to address development and climate change as interlinked challenges. This includes responding to the challenges in providing energy services to the one-and-a-half billion people who remain without access to clean, reliable, and affordable modern energy services.


"I am delighted that Dan Kammen will be joining the Bank in this critical role at this critical time," said Inger Andersen, World Bank Vice President for Sustainable Development "With Dan on board, we look forward to strong leadership and rich partnerships with many actors, in the public and private sectors, on this important topic."
"More than ever," Andersen added, "our client and countries are looking for solutions as they put in place economic growth and poverty reduction policies for their citizens today while taking into account the needs of the planet tomorrow. The supply and use of clean energy is a prime element in responding to both concerns. Dan's deep knowledge, broad experience, and extensive network of international actors working in this area makes him a perfect fit for this new position."
Daniel M. Kammen has worked for 25 years on the technical, analytic tools and policies that play a central role in enabling a low-carbon energy and wider sustainable economic systems.


"I am captivated and motivated by the need to respond to the immense clean energy needs of countries around the world to address quality of life and economic empowerment, address problems of inequity, and respond to the challenges of climate change," said Kammen. "As researchers and development professionals, we must refine what we are currently doing, as well as develop new tools, to provide more low-cost, high quality, clean energy worldwide."
"The World Bank, with its cadre of seasoned staff already working in this area, is in a position to make incredible contributions to this push for global sustainability. I look forward to joining the organization, being a part of this exciting venture, and contributing to lasting solutions that enable countries to get and stay on a path of development that reduces poverty and provides for the well-being of generations to come," said Kammen.


Currently, Kammen is the Class of 1935 Distinguished Professor of Energy at the University of California, Berkeley, where he holds appointments in the Energy and Resources Group, the Goldman School of Public Policy, and the department of Nuclear Engineering. The focus of his work is on the science and policy of clean, renewable energy systems, energy efficiency, the role of energy in national energy policy, international climate debates, and the use and impacts of energy sources and technologies on development, particularly in Africa and Latin America.

Daniel M. Kammen's appointment will be effective October 4, 2010.

Aquamer (OTCBB: AQUM) (DBA/ Urban Agricultural Corp.) Environmental and Water Benefits
Cleaner WaterThe Urban Agricultural system reduces the nutrient pollution associated with chemical fertilizers used on commercial farms. Of the 19% of U.S. rivers and streams assessed by EPA in 2000, roughly 48% (or over 125,000 miles) showed impaired water quality as the result of pollution from agricultural runoff (fertilizers, pesticides, bacteria, etc.). This impact is more than double that of any other source of water pollution.
Water ConservationHydroponics production uses three to four times less water per unit of production than field-agriculture. Urban Agricultural's closed-loop irrigation systems lead to even greater water savings.
Minimal WastewaterThe watering injection system recycles water and generates little or no wastewater. Wastewater is one of the most significant environmental costs associated with traditional methods of hydroponics.

Speech module - text input for speech replacement; GSM module - send and receive SMS; MSN module; Windows Live Messenger chat Book Reader - reading books by speech synthesis; and Web Browsing - special plug-ins for Bing Maps and Facebook.



The developers of the software and hardware will continue to work with HealthMed on an outsourcing basis in developing further applications for the Neural Communicator.
President/CFO John Popovic commented, "We are extremely keen on completing the acquisition of Neural Communicator. The product will bring easy communication capability to those currently unable to communicate as well as expanding the communication ability of others with disabilities restricting their communication capacity. Acquiring this leading edge technology expands HealthMed's product lineup and will position us strongly in the marketplace."
