Many books about renewable energy have already been written. But what books can be advised? Here is an overview of books which are recommended by visitors of the OliNo.org website.
The Th!nk City is a 100% electric car designed from the start to be fully electric. The car has a range of 113 miles and a top speed of 65 mph. Pre-launch activities of the Th!nk city have started since 2009 in selected European markets like Norway, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria and now recently Spain. Th!nk is investigating opportunities to establish a dedicated US manufacturing plant for assembly of the new TH!NK City.
Our sun, a nuclear fusion source which is already working reliably for more than 5 billion years, produces an extreme amount of energy. Within 6 hours, deserts on Earth receive more solar energy than we use in a whole year globally. Therefore it is strange that we are not already using this free energy source to it’s full potential. It looks like this is going to change now. A group of twenty big German corporations has plans to deliver solar power from Africa to German households in Europe within 10 years. The plan consists of investing 400 billion euros to build gigantic large Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants in North-Africa. With this investment, 15% of the total European electricity can be generated by solar power day and night. It is one of the biggest private green initiatives.
