(PhysOrg.com) -- Electricity in India can be a dicey proposition. Half the population lacks access or is too poor to afford it. The other half is using so much that demand far outstrips supply, resulting in daily power outages. And with a growing middle class buying more TVs, air conditioners and the like, the situation will only get worse. As chaotic as things are, there is a solution: simple energy efficiency measures, according to a new report from Berkeley Lab, can eliminate the electricity deficit as early as 2013.

Renewable electricity can be transformed into a substitute for natural gas. Until now, electricity was generated from gas. Now, a German-Austrian cooperation wants to go in the opposite direction. In the future, these researchers and entrepreneurs would like to store surplus electricity -- such as from wind power or solar energy -- as climate-neutral methane, and store it in existing gas storage facilities and the natural gas network.

Not many states have the capacity to enjoy the benefits of alternative energy like Nevada. The sun shines. The wind blows. Major natural gas lines run right through Las Vegas, Carson City and Reno to supply the major population centers. And, as the Las Vegas Sun reported a year ago, "Nevada is poised to overtake California as the American geothermal energy leader."
This self-sufficiency is becoming more and more important as the world begins to stir out of the global recession and the industrialized nations need oil to fuel their factories and run their cars and trucks.
The United States is far, far from Nevada's self-sufficiency when it comes to oil. Month after month we import about two-thirds of the oil we use and 70 percent of that is used as transportation fuel.
Once again, in 2010, we are likely to spend close to $400 billion on imported oil. That will not produce one single job in Nevada or anywhere else in the United States, but it will produce plenty of jobs in places like Iran and Nigeria...
Bladeless wind turbine inspired by Tesla
(PhysOrg.com) -- A bladeless wind turbine whose only rotating component is a turbine/driveshaft could generate power at a cost comparable to coal-fired power plants, according to its developers at Solar Aero. The New Hampshire-based company recently announced its patent on the Fuller wind turbine, which is an improvement on a patent issued to Nikola Tesla in 1913.
