Robber fly - Nature photographer Thomas Shahan specializes in amazing portraits of tiny insects. It isn't easy. Shahan says that this Robber Fly (Holcocephala fusca), for instance, is "skittish" and doesn't like its picture taken.

“… 4 - Energy (again)

The natural resources of the planet are finite and will not support the continuation of what you've been doing. We've been saying this for a decade. Watch for increased science and increased funding for alternate ways of creating electricity (finally). Watch for the very companies who have the most to lose being the ones who fund it. It is the beginning of a full realization that a change of thinking is at hand. You can take things from Gaia that are energy, instead of physical resources. We speak yet again about geothermal, about tidal, about wind. Again, we plead with you not to over-engineer this. For one of the things that Human Beings do in a technological age is to over-engineer simple things. Look at nuclear - the most over-engineered and expensive steam engine in existence!

Your current ideas of capturing energy from tidal and wave motion don't have to be technical marvels. Think paddle wheel on a pier with waves, which will create energy in both directions [waves coming and going] tied to a generator that can power dozens of neighborhoods, not full cities. Think simple and decentralize the idea of utilities. The same goes for wind and geothermal. Think of utilities for groups of homes in a cluster. You won't have a grid failure if there is no grid. This is the way of the future, and you'll be more inclined to have it sooner than later if you do this, and it won't cost as much….”

Beijing launches plan to bring solar power to the countryside

 With the Chinese government beginning to push urbanization programs, solar power firms are hoping to turn the nation's farmland into a new market for building generation facilities.

Li Hejun, chairman of Hanergy Holdings Group, predicts that the increasingly mature photovoltaic market in China's rural areas will attract 10 trillion yuan (US$1.6 trillion) of investment over the next 10 years.

Yet Ren Haoning, a research fellow at China Investment Consulting, believes that even with the government's support the policy cannot drag the solar industry out of its current slump, which has been caused by excess capacity.

The nation's solar energy firms have so far been relying on overseas markets, with 80% of their raw materials being imported and 90% of their finished solar cells and other components being shipped abroad. Market players have urged the industry to shift its focus to the domestic market, especially business opportunities associated with the urbanization program.

According to a study of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, solar power operations hardly exist in China's rural areas, as a result of which the ministry has decided to launch a comprehensive program to bring solar energy generation to the countryside.

The program will inject a powerful momentum to the development of the photovoltaic industry, says Jiang Ping, research fellow at the China Photovoltaic Industry Alliance.

One potential market is solar powered agriculture sheds, whose roofs are covered with solar cells and can cultivate vegetables while generating power at the same time. Agricultural sheds currently take up a total of 50 million acres, and could be capable of generating power worth 250 billion yuan (US$41 billion) a year if they can be transformed into mini solar energy plants.

Yet the sheds are just a fraction of the huge market potential associated with the program. The most promising aspect is the prospect of placing generators on the tops of farmhouses. At present, the nation's houses cover a total space of 40 billion square meters, 20% of which is suitable for the installation of solar cells.

Jiang Ping has cautioned that conditions are not right for the industry in the countryside, due to a lack of experience and adequate technology. It would typically take 20 years to recover an investment in solar power facilities, a fact which has dampened investors' interest. The final problem is how to incorporate the excess power into established power grids away from major cities.
