Hey Community, I'm curious...Canola (Canada Oil Low Acid) oil in North American is specifically bred and marketing towards the edible oils market...but what about industrial rapeseed oil? I hear that the Europeans use it for most of their biodiesel but I want to know more. What are the specific

Wind has its own unique set of pros and cons like everything else...and I see it as a vital component to a sustainable and balanced energy portfolio for the world. Unfortunately, wind's geographic distribution and intermency make it difficult to integrate into electrical grids whose cost and

Hakan, Wind/Solar-Hydro Integration is a big subject at DOE EREN (Peter Goldman)...but otherwise is getting ignored even by agencies like the one I work for. You are right but the contentious politics and costs of building large reservoirs is so high that pumped storage is nothing but a small
