  • Investment Resources >
    Tax Credits Available to Energy Investors (http://downloads.pennnet.com/energycredits/energycredits.pdf) - Energy tax credits could provide the necessary incentive for investors to invest in preferred energy. These credits, however, are not freely granted to every type of project or even every type of investor. This 8-page PDF by David Cook of Autry, Horton & Cole, helps to navigate through this sometimes-challenging issue. (PennNet; July 15, 2008)
  • Lighting >
    500 Solar Flashlight Give Away (http://www.sunnightsolar.com/blog/) - SunNight Solar (http://www.sunnightsolar.com) developed, with the assistance of the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program (http://www.spacetechsolutions.com/), supported by NASA, shaped by specific field work on their prototypes in Africa in the harshest conditions by scientists from the US Department of Energy and funded by research grants from the Rockefeller Foundation — they offer the next generation of portable, reliable and environmentally friendly lights for nightly use, for camping and outdoor activities, and a product which should be in every family’s emergency preparedness kit.

Perhaps most importantly, it is happening without significant policy changes or government supports. (MarketWatch; July 22, 2008)
  • Global Warming >
    Changes In Winds Could Have Been Cause Of Abrupt Glacial Climatic Change (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/07/080718215412.htm) - According to Marisa Montoya, “If the glacial climate had been in the vicinity of that point, small wind changes could have caused sudden and significant climatic changes during that period”. These simulations have demonstrated the existence of a threshold after which a small change in wind speed causes disproportionately large changes in the sea current speed. (Science Daily; July 21, 2008)
  • Electric Cars >

His idea is to refit millions of gas-guzzling autos to run on electricity part-time and convince carmakers to adopt so- called open source rules on advanced technology so that Americans can convert their cars. (Bloomberg; July 21, 2008)
  • Fuel Cells:Transportationl >

Features Ready for Sterling to Edit

After Sterling edits these, he will place them in the 'Ready to Go' hopper below.

  • Fuel Efficiency > Spark Plugs >
    Firestorm_Spark_Plug - The revolutionary design of FireStorm spark plugs creates an electric plasma that fills the entire combustion chamber like a firestorm. It allows you to take an internal combustion engine from the standard 14.7:1 air-to-fuel ratio to an incredibly lean 24:1. At this ratio, all the air/fuel mixture is burned much more efficiently without increasing heat, thus giving an engine more power and fuel economy while creating much less pollution. That's the good news... (PESWiki; July 2008)
  • Home Generation Ground Source Heat Pump >

not

Solar: PhotoVoltaics

An exception to this (listing the most general directory) would be where the preface directory links section has more than 3-4 items, and needs to be streamlined.

If you want to point to a sub-section of a page, please configure the URL so that it hotlinks to that sub-section. This is done by using the # sign after the url, followed by the section name. And still use the > to signify a subset.

Sample:

Solar > PhotoVoltaics > Installers
