Since the Indian solar market took off with close to 1.1 GW of photovoltaic (PV) projects during the fag end of 2010, it is experiencing a lull with allocations of only 350 MW under the…
New satellite technology has yielded a stunning new set of views of the Earth at night. And a surprise -- in North Dakota, near the Canadian border, there is a bright spot. It's not a city. It wasn't there six years ago. It, too, is new. You'll see it in the video below as the US comes into view.

Last month, we attended the Modern Language Association's annual conference in Boston, Massachusetts, and had a great time talking to educators about how WordPress.com encourages in-class conversations to keep going and keeps students and parents up to date. Today, we're taking a closer look at how some tech-savvy teachers are using WordPress.com to create educational experiences that seamlessly blend the traditional and virtual worlds.

China has long been the world's supplier of low-cost solar panels, and now it's a major market for them, too. According to research firm NPD's SolarBuzz report, in the last quarter of 2012 China bought up 33 percent of the world's solar panel supply.
In contrast, two years prior China accounted for less than 10 percent of the world's solar panel sales.

Emergency feeding can be done in winter by putting a bag of sugar or loose sugar over a sheet of newspaper on top of the brood box, with an empty super to provide space and then the roof on top of that. If you think your bees stores are low this is a good thing to do.
Bacteria that live almost a mile under the surface of the ocean, where light is scare, have adapted biological ways to harness tiny amounts of light very efficiently, and in some cases can use photosynthesis to convert 100 percent of the light they find into electricity. In contrast a typical solar panel commonly converts around 15 percent of sunlight into electricity.
1. Cost - the single largest hurdle solar energy faces is that competing energy sources have always been cheaper in terms of dollars per kilowatt-hour (a standard measure). Compared to electricity from coal-fired power plants, solar is more expensive - if you don't consider the environmental costs (which typically are hard to asses a dollar amount to).
But in recent years…
