Where's my solar power missing?

In the first 2 designs the temperatures in the fluid or atWhere's my solar power missing? the collector tower, in contrast to temperatures in solar water heaters, are adequate to produce steam; the third design does not use steam at all, but is powered by a Stirling engine, a closed cycle heat engine capable of very high efficiencies.

The largest solar power system in the world (350 MW) is located in California's Mojave Desert and uses parabolic troughs to convert sunlight to electricity with an efficiency of about 20%. Using the second design, Spain is building a 15 MW solar power tower in Andalusia, and an even larger such system is planned in South Africa. And using the third design, which will have total conversion efficiency as high as 30%, Sandia National Laboratories & Stirling Energy Systems are building a prototype of a system which will generate electricity at the same cost as the conventional technologies.

India, the world’s 2nd fastest growing car market, was supposed to be a seller’s paradise; ironically, this insight’s on

Or for the A Model Posing with BMWfact that BMW is ensuring that the envisaged dealer network within India (8 dealers currently, 9 more to be added by year end) is at par with any of BMW’s international undertakings? Haven’t competitors already taken that tactical edge?

Peter does fight back. “I don’t think the competition has an edge over us, because as far as our competitors are concerned, only Mercedes Benz is present with a manufacturing plant; Audi has barely started its marketing here in India!” he says. BMW has invested $26 million for its assembling operations. So then is the BMW strategy focused not on sales but just on earning profits, however small? That too especially on the back of its Chennai plant (with an annual objective of assembling 1,700 cars), expected to allow BMW to escape the prohibitive 60% import duty on imported cars?

…old memories, restart to international networking

The industry is currently growing by 5% to 10% owing to…old memories, restart to international networking rising steel demand & prices across the globe, and thus acts as a major contributor. The economy specialises in producing all types of transport vehicles that supplements the industry & infrastructural growth. Additionally, IT outsourcing is an emerging sector (generates $18 million) and is growing by 100%. Ukraine is no doubt ahead when it comes to scientific space exploration & remote sensing mission. Corruption & stifling bureaucracy exists in the transport & infrastructure sectors, but the rapid growth can eventually overshadow them.

Lucrative export opportunities & other economic engagements with neighbouring Western countries await Ukraine. There seems a possibility that it can prosper by exploiting its massive and skilled manpower and technology prowess. Ukraine will surely regain its shine by overcoming the bullying foreign pressures…Will be a game to watch…

Never before has there been so much international focus on environment

The great apes of the world could become extinct in the wilds within a single chimpanzee’s lifetime, which is about fifty years. The world’s oceans are being depleted. Industrial fishing has wiped out perhaps as much as 90% of large predatory fish species such as the biggest types of tuna. Right now the fate of the whales, big cats, elephants and many other species are increasingly becoming bargaining chips on the gaming board of global economics and international pawn-playing politics. And because of social factors such as stress, feelings of worthlessness and loneliness of spirit, we are now, quite literally, killing ourselves. Suicides amongst our teenagers, the loudest cry for help of them all, have reached almost epidemic proportions in today’s world.
