There is no free lunch whether with coal mining or deep-water drilling, or for those who are honest, in the enormous underlying mining and chemical infrastructure needed to build vast arrays of wind and solar farms.
FORBES: Post Fukushima-- burn more coal and oil, and hire more engineers not regulators
These boxes can coordinate the more complex arrays of tasks required in food, beverage and paper plants--new territory for Rockwell--and zip production data to back-office computers so customers can react sooner to blips in supply and demand.
Beck hopes to eventually use entire arrays of Josephson junctions to better measure quantum noise spectra in the terahertz region, noting that any anomaly there that cannot be explained by conventional physics could be a hint of dark energy.
Tellingly, about two-thirds of bids for solar energy contracts last year (by electricity generated) were for photovoltaic projects and only a third were for solar thermal power plants, which deploy vast arrays of mirrors to heat liquids and produce steam to drive an electricity-generating turbine.
