ATZblog » Blog Archiv » Hat der Dieselhybrid eine Chance?

  • Die Hybridtechnik wird schrittweise Einzug in den Markt halten und ihren derzeitigen Anteil von weniger als drei Prozent ausbauen. Entscheidend wird auch die Verfügbarkeit wettbewerbsfähiger elektrischer Energiespeichersysteme sein. In Nordamerika und Japan wird die Hybridisierung hauptsächlich im Zusammenwirken mit einem benzingetriebenen Verbrennungsmotor voranschreiten. In Europa werden wir künftig auch Hybridfahrzeuge mit Dieselmotor im Markt finden. Grund hierfür ist, dass der hohe Marktanteil des Dieselantriebs in Europa bereits in den vergangenen 15 Jahren entscheidend zur Reduzierung des Kraftstoffverbrauchs beigetragen hat. Hybridlösungen bieten auch in Verbindung mit Dieselantrieben weitere Potenziale, die CO2-Emissionen zu senken und den Fahrspaß zu erhöhen.

Brilliant New Book Teaches You How to Evaluate Sustainable Energy Claims « Johnny Rook’s Climaticide Chronicles

  • Unsettlingly, usually, these discussions involve more strong opinions than data. Some people believe that one of these alternative (they are not all sustainable) energy options is the silver bullet that will solve both the climate and the energy crisis. Other argue that there is no silver bullet and that what is required are a variety of silver BB’s: a mixture of technologies, along with greater energy efficiency and preservation of habitat (forests). Do we really just need to build huge number of nuclear plants or wind farms to solve the problem? If, instead, we are going to use a mix of alternative energy sources, which ones should we use and in what quantities?

Hitwise Intelligence - Bill Tancer - US: Guest Post - Sizing Up the Long Tail of Search

  • Assuming the tail doesn’t begin until term 18, the head and body together only account for 3.25% of all search traffic! In fact, the top terms don’t account for much traffic:



    • Top 100 terms: 5.7% of the all search traffic

    • Top 500 terms: 8.9% of the all search traffic

    • Top 1,000 terms: 10.6% of the all search traffic

    • Top 10,000 terms: 18.5% of the all search traffic

Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power Estimates for the Period to 2030 « RFF Library Blog

  • The IAEA has revised upwards its nuclear power generation projections to 2030, while at the same time it reported that nuclear´s share of global electricity generation dropped another percentage point in 2007 to 14%. This compares to the nearly steady share of 16% to 17% that nuclear power maintained for almost two decades, from 1986 through 2005.

  • I took it upon myself to get some answers using Facebook's own ad targeting system and I created this abridged guide for marketers to give you a snapshot of what the real face of Facebook looks like on a Global and US level.
  • This is a report that I will be updating on a monthly basis to show how the population is changing and how marketers can respond. Is there anything else that you want to see?

YouTube - Gapcast #10 - Carbon Dioxide

  • Everyone contributes to carbon dioxide emissions, but some more than others. Reducing global CO2 emissions requires that we have a good understanding of the current picture. Serious progress can be made if we develop a renewable source of electricity that is cheaper than coal.

International Energy Agency - Energy Publications

  • Improvements in energy efficiency over the past three decades have played a key role in limiting global increases in energy use and CO2 emissions. For IEA countries, energy efficiency gains since 1990 have led to annual energy savings of more than 16 EJ in 2005 and 1.3 Gt of avoided CO2 emissions. However, the recent rate of efficiency improvement has been much lower than in the past. The good news is that a large potential remains for further energy and CO2 savings across all sectors. In industry alone, the application of proven technologies and best practices on a global scale could save between 1.9 Gt and 3.2 Gt of CO2 emissions per year. In public power generation, if all countries produced electricity at current best practice levels, CO2 savings would be between 1.8 Gt and 2.5 Gt.

Seniors Fire Safety « Gokentuckyhomes’s Weblog



  • The fire death rate among people over the age of 65 is twice as high as the national average, according to the United States Fire Administration (USFA). In addition, the fire death rate among people between ages 75 and 85 is three times the national average and after age 85, it increases to four times the national average. These statistics are especially alarming when researchers estimate that by 2030, the 65 and older population will exceed 70 million people.

HINTS FOR HOMEOWNERS

  • Every year, electrical fires result in thousands of injuries, hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage and, in some cases, even death.

    While some fires are caused by faulty products, many more are caused by the misuse and poor maintenance of electrical equipment, incorrectly installed wiring, overloaded circuits and misapplied extension cords.

    Smoke alarms, fire extinguishers and escape ladders are all examples of emergency equipment used in homes to take action when a fire occurs. A device called an Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter, or AFCI, is a residential circuit breaker designed to detect arcing faults and thus prevent fires from occurring in the first place.

    Arcing can occur when you're hanging a picture and inadvertently pierce a wire in the wall, when old wires fray or when you string extension cords together to run fans or space heaters.

    Approximately 2,300 injuries, 67,800 fires and 485 deaths occur each year that can be associated with home wiring, totaling $868 million in property losses. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that "AFCI devices may address 50 percent or more of these fires."

  • "No one thinks the fire is going to happen to them, and I don't know the exact statistics," said Donald McCullough of AFD. "But there's a fire fatality like every two-and-a-half hours in the United States, but because it's, you know, outside your media view, they think it's always happening somewhere else, somewhere else."
