| Chicken Feathers May Hold Key To Hydrogen Storage |  |
| pitterpatter writes "A researcher trying to find a use for them claims that after being heated enough to carbonize, chicken feathers hold as much hydrogen as carbon nanotubes do. So chicken feather charcoal might solve the storage problem for the new hydrogen economy. One problem down, half a zillion to go."Read more of this story at Slashdot.

| Spirit Rover Begins Making Night Sky Observations | |
| Nancy Atkinson writes "Even though the Spirit rover is stuck in loose soil on Mars, she has an overabundance of electrical power due to a wind event that cleaned off her solar panels. While MER scientists and engineers are having the rover take pictures of her surroundings in an effort to figure a way to get her dislodged, there also is enough power (since the rover isn`t moving anywhere) to do something extra: keep the rover `awake` at night and run her heaters so she can take images of the night sky on Mars. `Certainly, a month or more ago, no one was considering astronomy with the rovers,` said Mark Lemmon, planetary scientist at Texas A&M University and member of the rover team. `We thought that was done. With the dust cleanings, though, everyone thinks it is better to use the new found energy on night time science than to just burn it with heaters.`"Read more of this story at Slashdot.

| How Utilities Integrate Wind Energy | |
| The U.S. wind energy industry in 2008 shattered previous records by installing 8,435 MW of new generating capacity (generating enough electricity during a year to serve more than 2 million homes), making wind power a mainstream generating technology for electricity. New wind projects completed in 2008 accounted for more than 40 percent of the entire new power-producing capacity added nationally last year. U.S. wind energy generating capacity stands at 25,246 MW, producing enough electricity each year to power the equivalent of some 7 million households and strengthening the nation`s energy supply with a clean, inexhaustible, homegrown source. |
