...comment since it has not yet tested the Volt. In the meantime, the Society of Auto Engineers continues to tinker with its new hybrid test protocols. It has a lot of automotive fans scratching their heads about the recent Volt m.p.g. claims and how pure-electric vehicles and hydrogen-fuel-cell vehicles stack up. (See the best cars from the 2009 Detroit Auto Show...
...being consumed," according to Anthony Eggert of California's ARB. Of course, it takes oil, coal, nuclear, wind or hydro power to create the energy electric cars are powered on, so even eco saints don't get off free. To complicate matters further, if you want a hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered vehicle, like a Honda FCX Clarity, you will need to measure mileage in m.p.k., or miles per kilograms of hydrogen. The Clarity gets roughly 60 m.p.k...
...little bit, but it would have been darned inconvenient, since I live here in Alaska. Although I am working on a book now with the working title Heat: A Natural and Unnatural History. It takes the other direction on the thermometer and starts out looking at extreme heat with hydrogen-weapons testing that occurred here in Alaska, and works through things like the development of warm-bloodedness in animals, forest fires and that sort of thing. (See TIME's top 10 Alaskans...
...Although Congress is willing to fund the Energy Department at roughly the levels Obama is demanding, the House would give Chu only $35 million for his innovation hubs - enough for one center. Meanwhile, Congress is pushing the Energy Department to spend more than $200 million on hydrogen-based clean-fuel technologies - an idea that was popular with President George W. Bush but that many energy experts deride as a permanent pipe dream. Another House bill would have the Energy Department spend $30 million a year for five years on natural-gas vehicles, even though the Obama Administration hasn't sought...
...This is an annual tradition dating back to the first decade of the House,” Yu said. “[But] this is a very special year, as it will be the first performance with our new bells.” The show—complete with hydrogen balloons to simulate cannons—brought together students, faculty, and Cambridge residents alike. Noam D. Elkies, professor of Mathematics, was among the makeshift orchestra, playing the electric keyboard and blowing into a kazoo. The orchestra relocated to the dining hall from the courtyard, which usually houses the performance...
