Death of corals is oceanographer's murder mystery
UNC scientist says there are many suspected culprits
Wade Rawlins - Staff Writer
Published: Sun, Dec. 28, 2008 12:30AM


From the page: "Marine scientist John Bruno became interested in coral reefs as a boy snorkeling in the turquoise waters off the Florida Keys above reefs of golden corals the size of football fields.

"It just went on for acres and acres," recalls Bruno, 43, an associate professor at UNC-Chapel Hill. "They were just full of fish. We'd see hammerhead sharks on the reef and big critters. That is all gone.

"The corals are gone and the big fish are gone," he says. "That's happened in my lifetime."

Hawaii begins exporting clean energy technology, as Sopogy plans 50 MW solar plant in Spain
by Garry Golden
December 27 2008

From the page: "In the past year Hawaii set in motion some sweeping regulatory changes to manage its electrical grid, and signed an agreement with electric vehicle infrastructure startup Better Place. Hawaii has established pilot facilities for next generation biofuels, and Lockheed is planning a cutting edge ocean thermal energy conversion plant.  The state is also home to a few promising startups involved in materials for fuel cells and solar.

Distributed Solar Power Generation
Now, Honolulu-based Sopogy has announced a 50 MW project in Toledo, Spain in what will be the largest commercial demonstration of its micro-concentration power technology.  Sopogy believes that its smaller solar systems offer an easier, more cost effective method for brining clean electricity online."
