Inspirational and good news.
A new study has found out what the most fuel efficient thing in the entire universe is! The answer is a black hole!
“We already knew that powerful quasars are very efficient at making light. Now we know that black holes in elliptical galaxies are efficient as well,” said Kim Weaver, a researcher at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center who was not involved in the study. “This suggests that being green is a trait that all black holes may have in common.”
Fun!!!
The World Bank published a report on Apr. 23 that hints to more money for clean, renewable energies in developing nations. The report is careful to not discuss what countries with no power should do, but looks at what countries that have a growing need for more power should do. And that’s no small task “According to the International Energy Agency, a total of US$8.1 trillion, or US$300 billion per year from 2003 to 2030 is needed if developing and transitional economies are to meet their energy needs.”
It’s quite a shift to see the World Bank support clean energy production given their history of energy funding.
