Microsoft and Ford Motor Co. Partner Up for New EV Project
Image Source: Flickr.
A rather interesting partnership is happening between Microsoft and Ford Motor Co.
Ford plans to create some new electric vehicles and Microsoft’s Hohm software will be used as energy management tools for the EVs. Those who end up getting one of these vehicles will be able to charge them in ways that are more affordable, responsible and efficient.
If you’re curious about which Ford models will have the software, it will be added to all future plug-in hybrids and all-electric vehicles. You can expect it all to start with the new Ford Focus in 2011. On top of working on cars, both Microsoft and Ford plan to work with individual cities and utilities to create the “entire energy ecosystem”.

U.K. activists ride The Wave against climate change
People across Great Britain are doing the wave. Why? To convince British leaders to take action on climate change. Weird? Maybe, but it's pretty fun. Try it. See? Ok, maybe it's not that fun doing the wave on your own, but there is power in numbers. Have a look on The Wave video website to see people from around the U.K. looking a bit silly and doing the 'Mexican wave'. If you'd like to participate in the biggest virtual wave...
A valuable investment: preserving ‘ecosystems services’
A new study called The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) states that preserving natural ecosystems hold better returns than an investment in gold. Rounding up over 1,100 studies done on ecosystems around the world, the results show that benefits of investing in conservation further outweighs its cost. A few cases in point: The protection of 12,000 hectares of mangroves cost the Vietnamese government $1.1 million but saves $7.3 million annually on dyke maintenance; in New Zealand, a grassland conservation area,...
Dry Spell in North West England Threatens Wildlife
During the Victorian era, an unfortunate fashion du jour left thousands of dead egrets and birds of paradise in its wake. Moved by instances of baby birds left to fend for themselves as their parents were killed for their plumes, The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) formed to put a halt to this thoughtless practice 110 years ago. Today, however, they're faced with a new challenge. One million members strong and custodians of 200 nature reserves that...
Preserving Japan’s giant salamanders
In Japan, the giant salamander – or hanzaki – is a national monument. Children sing its praises and a festival is held in its honor. Unlike most salamanders, which are generally only a couple of inches or a few centimeters in length, the hanzaki can grow to be an enormous 1.5 meters (5 feet) long and weigh as much as 34 kg (80 lbs). This ancient species of giant salamander has barely changed for 20 million years and has a definite...
UK: Will biomass farming replace livestock?
A recent piece for The Ecologist, entitled ‘Biomass Britain: do fields of energy crops spell an end to grazing livestock’, explores the possibility of a revolution in the UK’s land use. 70-80% of land in the UK is used by the British livestock industry. The possibility of a near-complete shift from livestock farming to the growing of food crops and biomass for energy production may sound revolutionary to some and catastrophic to others. It would mean the de-industrialization of Britain’s meat...
UK: Mysterious seal deaths likely caused by ducted propeller
The 50 or so seals that have been found dead in England and Scotland, marked by strange corkscrew wounds, are thought to have been killed by boat propellers. Researchers examined bodies of 12 dead seals recently found in Norfolk, England and found that the seals were probably killed by a certain type of boat propeller called a ‘ducted propeller’. Ducted propellers have non-rotating nozzles and are encircled by a duct or passageway, which could trap the seals as it slices them...
Doing our bit: Rise of the veggie footsoldier
During the last few days the British press has run some relatively prominent articles once again highlighting the correlation between meat eating and climate change, also resulting in a few additional commentary pieces and the usual backlash. Perhaps biggest of all is the Observer Food Monthly magazine’s OFM vegetarian recipe special edited by none other than the McCartney family (Sir Paul, Mary and Stella). Far from simply a collection of recipes – including several from Gwyneth Paltrow and other veggie celebs...
Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation Creates “Negative Emission” Vehicle
Well, it’s finally happened. Someone has created a “negative emission” vehicle—or so they claim. Now, don’t confuse “negative emission” with “zero emission”—they are not the same. Zero emission would mean the vehicle doesn’t emit anything (or an extremely tiny amount of anything). However, this “negative emission” idea is based on the claim that the vehicle actually absorbs emissions already in the air—but I’m getting ahead of myself. The Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) has created a new vehicle, called Ye Zi (“leaf”)....
Oil spill cover-up in Egypt’s Red Sea?
Last month an oil spill was discovered in Egypt’s Red Sea by Egyptian authorities. The spill polluted a stretch of coastline dotted with popular tourist resorts. According to a Reuters Africa report, the Egyptian oil minister has claimed that none of the 188 oil platforms in the Gulf of Suez are responsible for the spill and that the oil may have come from water used to clean out a tanker. Local environmental groups are skeptical of the Egyptian government’s claims and are...
Ecuador’s ‘environmental ransom’
A combination of individuals and corporations, along with local, regional and national governments, has raised enough cash to temporarily halt the drilling of oil from the Yasuní National Park in Ecuador. The collection of money is being facilitated by the UN Development Group in a ‘crowdfunding’ project called the Ecuador Yasuní ITT Trust Fund. So far $116m (€89.5m) has been raised to help preserve this 722 square mile area of Amazonian rainforest. From the Guardian: The park, which is home to two tribes...
