It looks like wind power in the United States is getting a boost from a somewhat unexpected source, with billionaire oilman T. Boone Pickens recently announcing that he's spending $2 billion to build a 667 wind turbine-strong wind farm in Texas. That would translate to roughly 1,000 megawatts of electrici……

We've already seen some wind turbines designed to float offshore, but Canadian startup Magenn Power has some ideas of its own for getting wind power off the ground and, judging by its latest tests, it seems to be making some considerable progress. Its solution, dubbed the Magenn Air Rotor System (or MARS)……

Energy conservation and gadgetphilia are tough to combine, but this Power Cost Controller power strip might be just the ticket for those looking to monitor — and potentially cut back on — their power usage. The strip's display counts kilowatt-hour power usage and tracks by hour, week, month, and year. ……

Researchers would have us believe that you can not help control nature through diet. See this interesting post at herb-z Control the sex of your baby It makes interesting reading, but I wonder who funded the research.

Plasmas don’t get any love these days, if people aren’t complaining about the theoretical possibility of burn-in or the fading of colors, it’s something else. Now some environmentalists in the UK are proposing an additional tax on plasmas TVs to reflect their “greater climate change burden”. With……

This kit contains 2 meters so that you can check your home for both microwave fields and electric and magnetic fields. The Electrosmog Detector will detect any strong microwave fields in your vicinity, and the Quick Check EMF meter will detect and measure electric and magnetic fields from electrical wiring and appliances.

Electrical Quick Check Meter:
An affordable way to own an electric and magnetic meter to check emissions from electrical wiring and appliances
Just turn it on, set it to magnetic or electric field detection and begin. This digital meter has many beneficial features for a meter in this price range, although it does not offer the level of accuracy or simplicity of use that the Professional EMF meter offers.

* Ideal for those who want to regularly check their exposure levels to ELF and magnetic fields at home or away
* Wide frequency response; (1dB) from 16 Hz to 2000Hz; useful from 5Hz to 7000Hz (3dB)
* Tremendous sensitivity and range: Magnetic: 1-2000nT (0.01-20.00mG), Electric: 1-2000V/m
* Audio sounder which increases in intensity as the field strength increases
* Earthing to a radiator using the wire cord provided increases accuracy for the electrical field measurement
* Complete with a manual, 9-volt battery and two year guarantee

A-COMED - Electrosmog Detector;
Measure the levels of electrosmog in your house Check your home for microwave frequencies (from mobile and cordless phones, telephone masts and base stations and other wireless technologies) on an ongoing basis with this clever detector.

This battery operated unit fits neatly into the hand and can be used regularly to check potential electrosmog hotspots both inside and outside the home. It is a good idea to check all the areas in and around your home where you or your children spend a lot of time, like beds and recreational areas. It allows you to detect and hear the “aggressive pulsing” of microwave frequencies. With mobile phone masts springing up at a rapid rate and wireless technology being more commonplace, the environment we live in is changing regularly.

The array of debilitating health problems potentially associated with wireless microwaves includes headaches, tiredness, depression and behavioural changes in children, epilepsy, skin complaints and even cancer. It is very important that we are aware of the potential threats and, if necessary, take measures to protect ourselves and our children.

Sure, you’ve been able to score a four-platter 1TB hard drive for over a year now, but the cooler, quieter, economical and speedy two-platter hard drive has always been a ……

By this May, the UK government wants to provide free clip-on electricity meter devices designed to show residents exactly how much they’re spending on electricity, with the goal of encouraging them to reduce their consumption when they’re made aware of the cost of the electricity they use. Of course, ……
