China to double wind-power generation

BEIJING - China generates nearly 40 million kilowatts of electricty through wind power and plans to double the capacity in three years, a government agency said. The State Electricity Regulatory Commission said wind-power generation in the first 10 months of this year rose 57 percent over the same period of last year and accounted for 1.5 percent of the nation's total electricity output, Xinhua reported. By the end of August, 486 wind-power stations were in operation across the country, generating 39.24 million kilowatts of electricity, the report said. The commission estimated China has exploitable wind-power resources equaling 2.38 billion kilowatts on land and about 200 million kilowatts offshore.


Older light bulbs not dead yet

HACKENSACK, N.J. - New Jersey businessman Larry Birnbaum says he has an incandescent light bulb for people who don't want to switch to compact fluorescent bulbs. Birnbaum, founder and owner of Epic Light Bulb in South Hackensack, says his Newcandescent bulb will offer consumers an alternative when the government halts production of regular bulbs Jan. 1, the New York Post reported Monday. "You, I and just about everybody you know are somewhat addicted to incandescent light," said Birnbaum, a third-generation wholesale and retail electrical supply manufacturer. We're used to it. We grew up with its soft, warm glow that's a very soothing, very calming color of light." Some consumers have resisted the new compact fluorescent bulbs, complaining they give cold, unnaturally dull light. Birnbaum's Newcandescent bulb takes advantage of a loophole in the law that allows for the manufacture of "rough purpose" incandescent bulbs meant for construction equipment and some other uses, the Post reported. Birnbaum says his U.S.-made bulbs are just as efficient and long-lasting as their fluorescent rivals.


Defense to purchase advanced biofuel

WASHINGTON - The Pentagon contracted to buy 450,000 gallons of advanced drop-in biofuel, the single largest purchase of biofuel in U.S. government history, officials said. The Defense Department's Defense Logistics Agency will buy biofuel -- a tiny fraction of the Navy's yearly fuel budget -- made from a blend of used cooking oil and algae, which will be used in the U.S. Navy's demonstration of a Green Strike Group next summer during the Rim of the Pacific Exercise, the world's largest international maritime exercise, U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Monday in a joint release. A drop-in biofuel is a bio-based fuel that is a "chemical copy" of its hydrocarbon counterpart. The $12 million purchase translates to a per-gallon cost of about $26, Stars and Stripes reported. Mixed at a 50:50 ratio with conventional fuel means the cost would be about $15 a gallon, Mabus said. He said the price would drop more toward that of conventional fuel as technology and demand develop. "This is still R&D [research and development]," Mabus said. "It's half of what we were paying this time last year. It shows that as the market develops, you're going to see costs come down." As part of his energy security goals outlined in March, President Obama directed the departments of Agriculture, Energy and Navy to work together to advance a domestic industry capable of producing drop-in biofuel substitutes for diesel and jet fuel. The three departments in August announced their intent to invest up to $510 million during the next three years in partnership with the private sector to produce advanced drop-in biofuel to power military and commercial transportation. Half the fuel in the current purchase comes from Solazyme, which produces biodiesel from algae, and the other half is from Dynamic Fuels, a joint venture of Tyson Foods and Syntroleum Corp.


Biggest black holes ever are observed

BERKELEY, Calif. - U.S. astronomers say they've gathered data on the biggest black holes yet discovered in the universe, behemoths 10 times as big as our solar system. Such giant black holes may have consumed billions of stars and could be the gravitational cornerstones of galaxies from the early years of the universe, they said. "These are the most massive reliably measured black holes ever," Nicholas J. McConnell, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, told The New York Times in an e-mail. One of the newly surveyed black holes, weighing as much as 21 billion times as much as the sun, is in a sprawling cloud of thousands of galaxies about 336 million light-years away, astronomers said. The other lurks in the center a galaxy that anchors a galactic cluster 331 million light-years away in the constellation of Leo. Researchers said the discovery could yield clues to the role black holes play in the formation and evolution of galaxies. Observations have shown monster black holes seem to inhabit the centers of all galaxies, and the bigger the galaxy the bigger the black hole, astronomers said.
