James Hansen's Passionate New Climate Change Paper

James Hansen's Passionate New Climate Change Paper The Economist, The Economist

Their conclusion is that they are—and the data they draw on do not even include the current scorcher that is drying up much of North America and threatening its harvest. The team’s method of presentation, however, has caused a stir among those who feel that scientific papers should be dispassionate in their delivery of the evidence.

What Role for China in the U.S. Battery Industry?

What Role for China in the U.S. Battery Industry?

by Jim Greenberger

Now that A123 Systems, one of the largest recipients of government-funded battery R&D largesse, may become Chinese-owned, the federal government will have to face the question of whether, and on what terms, Chinese-owned companies will be given access to U.S. battery and advanced materials technology. Despite the clear challenges that U.S. firms manufacturing have faced in these areas, U.S. battery and advanced materials technology continues to be the best in the world—and the Chinese know it.http://theenergycollective.com/jim-greenberger/102241/what-role-china-us-battery-industry?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=The+Energy+Collective+%28all+posts%29&utm_content=Google+Reader
