If anyone is able to solve the vibration problems of rooftop turbines, we're likely to see a large commercial market. One of the interesting technologies is called "aeroelastatic flutter". The company that's developing this (Humdinger LLC) is pretty far off the radar. have you seen any other promising rooftop technologies?

The relationship between currency fluctuations and stock price is a bit murkier. But, if the US dollar keeps going down like a rock against the Canadian dollar, it's bound to boost revenue for the company, and, theoretically, stock value. ]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 17:33:14 -0400

About the article, I'd like to see some citations for the numbers. "Ethanol is 20% less efficient than gasoline"? What does that even mean? If the author is referring to the lower energy density of ethanol, then Mr. Smicklas needs to be more clear and get his numbers right. A gallon of Ethanol has only 66% of the BTUs of a gallon of 88 octane gasoline in the lab environment, but the reduction of knock can yield better real world performance.

A study by the University of North Dakota Energy and Environmental Research Center and the Minnesota Center for Automotive Research suggests that ethanol can actually improve performance. In limited trials, they found that a mix of 20% or 30% ethanol boosted mileage on some E85 test vehicles. ]]> Tue, 25 Mar 2008 12:58:48 -0400
