French officials have gone so far to suggest they'd invoke an article of the treaty the euro was founded upon allowing national governments to impose policy regarding currency exchange on the ECB. True to form, ECB president - Frenchman Jean-Claude Trichet - remains singularly unimpressed by the pressure from politicians. In an interview with the weekly Le Point Thursday, Trichet admitted being "worried by the excessive exchange rate movements".

...scavenge motion energy more directly with piezoelectric, or electricity-sensitive, materials, which generate a charge when compressed. That's the principle behind one of the most innovative forms of energy-scavenging: rain-harvesting. Researchers led by Jean-Jacques Chaillout at France's Atomic Energy Commission found that a 25-micrometer-thick strip of piezoelectric material (the diameter of a thin strand of human hair) could produce about 1 microwatt per raindrop. That's barely noticeable, but it could be enough to power environmental sensors, especially in areas where condensation is constant--like the inside of a nuclear power plant...
