...minimal energy. A recently unveiled prototype, HB-SIA, which will begin flight-testing next year before the larger plane is built for 2011, is a marvel of optimization. Its 200 ft. (61 m) wingspan is covered with photovoltaic cells, which convert the sun's rays into roughly the same amount of energy needed to light a large Christmas tree. That solar power drives four electric engines, and loads four lithium batteries - a quarter of the aircraft's total weight of 3,300 lbs. (1,500 kg) - which allow the plane to continue flying through the night. Project director...

As oil prices have soared in recent years, Indonesian companies have been converting vast tracts of forests and peat bogs into palm-oil plantations to feed a rapidly expanding biodiesel industry; between 1995 and 2005, the amount of Indonesian land being used to grow oil palms increased by some 8.6 million acres (3.5 million hectares), more than doubling total plantation area, according to a recent report on the industry by Credit Suisse...

...task force composed of mayor-appointed citizens, told the community that the science complex should not be used as a device to fulfill all of the neighborhood’s wishes. “A lot of hope is being built upon the hope of having an enormous amount of long term benefits thrown into the science project,” he said. “It’s unreasonable to think that every possible wish will come true between now and the time we have until the end of the year.” Senior Project Manager...
