...What a stellar launch: the second Environmental Film Festival of Accra will begin with an event for schoolkids, in which they'll view the March 29 total solar eclipse in Ghana's capital. And over the course of the eight-day festival, which officially starts March 30, nearly 40 films from more than 20 countries will be shown in venues ranging from Ghana's National Film and Television Institute to an outdoor park. The schedule includes features, documentaries, animation and shorts, and presentations by filmmakers, conservationists and environmentalists. Founded last year, it's Africa's first such event...
...Until now. Continuing high oil prices and growing concern over sustainable energy have made them the hottest stocks in the tech-heavy Taiwan Stock Exchange. Motech and E-Ton Solar make photovoltaic (PV) semiconductors, better known as solar cells. Sino-American is in the business of supplying them with silicon wafers, which are the basic PV building blocks. And shares of all three have delivered stellar gains thanks to the world's growing appetite for solar power as a hedge against the high price of crude...
...When E-Ton Solar debuted on the Taiwan OTC market on March 8, its share price quadrupled on opening day, soaring from $6.72 to $26.85.

...another thing, it will be equipped with solar panels, a sensible addition in a sun-drenched place like the inner solar system--and one that reduces the demands on fuel cells and batteries. It will also be able to either splash down in the water as the Apollos did or thump down under a parachute on dry desert. Finally, modern composite materials and computers will improve on the ungainly weight and clanking brain of the older ships. "It's like comparing today's 737s with the ones that flew in 1967," says Scott Horowitz, an associate administrator for NASA...
