Hat-tip DirkH It was already widely known that CFLs released deadly mercury, but only if they broke, see here for example, or here on what [...]
“Record-Setting” Electric Car Maker Refuses Independent Testing. Was It Just A Hoax?
Back in late October it was all over the media; the jubilation was huge. A German retrofitted Audi A2 equipped with new high-tech batteries was driven 605 km from Munich to Berlin on a single charge with an average speed close to 90 kilometres per hour, read here. It was a new record. The Mayor [...]
Low Energy Cement Production – New Development
Researchers at Germany’s Karlsruhe Institute for Technology have laid the cornerstone for a pilot plant that will produce a new kind of cement called Celitement®. Read here. This new cement developed by KIT researchers can be produced at far lower temperatures and with less lime than conventional cement. It has the potential to save 50% of the [...]
