| Ship Emissions Got You Down? Look Up At SkySails Posted: 08 Jun 2009 12:45 PM PDT
When Magellan first set out to circumnavigate the globe, he had the stars to guide him and the wind to propel him. While Magellan was killed before he circled the globe, his second-in-command Juan Sebastian Elanco finished the journey after 3 years and 1 month. For the next three hundred years, world trade and travel was accomplished solely through wind power, until the advent of the steam engine, and subsequently the internal combustion engine. But one company hopes to reignite a second Age of Sail with a simple yet effective design that will cut down on shipping costs, toxic emissions, and fuel consumption. Enter the SkySail. |
| LiveBlogging from Warren, Michigan: Chevy Volt Test Drive and New Battery Lab Tour Posted: 07 Jun 2009 07:49 PM PDT
Note: For tomorrow’s coverage, watch live updates to this post or follow the Twitter stream. Just a few days before GM declared bankruptcy, I was surprised to receive an email from the company asking if I’d be interested in test-driving the Chevy Volt. The offer to test-drive the product of a $1 billion development program (as well as one of the most anticipated cars of my lifetime) isn’t something that comes along every day, and I’m excited to say that tomorrow I’ll be test-driving the Volt as well as liveblogging from GM’s Tech center in Warren, Michigan. |
