ENERGY- Navy researchers demonstrate flight powered by fuel created from seawater

“This is the first time technology of this nature has been
demonstrated with the potential for transition from the laboratory, to
full-scale commercial implementation,” said Willauer.

The predicted cost of jet fuel using these technologies is in the
range of $3 to $6 per gallon, and with sufficient funding and
partnerships, this approach could be commercially viable within the next
seven to ten years, NRL suggests." kurzweilai.net

ENERGY- SOLAR POWER (I) - Is the recent solar power ‘tipping point’ a sign of things to come?

 "The cost of installing photovoltaic solar arrays has dropped to $3 per
watt of electricity they produce – about the same as coal-powered plants
cost to build – creating a watershed moment in the development of clean
energy, experts say." Computerworld
