June 26, 2012 — Scientists from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have invented a new toilet
system that will turn human waste into electricity and fertilisers and also reduce the amount of water
needed for flushing by up to 90 per cent compared to current toilet systems in Singapore

The
Tata Nano is a city car manufactured by Tata Motors. Made and sold in
India, the Nano is the cheapest car in the world today. Before it went
on sale, a price of INR1 lakh (US$1,800) was widely touted. Since its
2009 debut, the price has increased. Nevertheless, the Nano remains the
lowest-cost four-wheeled passenger vehicle in India.

In-Depth: Germany’s 22 GW Solar Energy Record
Last
Friday, on the 25th of May 2012, Germany set a new world solar energy
record in photovoltaic solar energy: 22.4 GW of photovoltaic energy on
the grid covering over 30% of all electricity demand! That’s the
equivalent of 20 huge conventional fossil or nuclear power plants.

India's National Solar Mission aims for 20 GW of solar power by 2022, with the first phase just ending.

A Breakthrough In Energy Storage: Graphene Micro Supercapacitors
Imagine
plugging in your smartphone for thirty seconds and then continuing the
rest of your day with a fully charged phone. Then imagine plugging in
your electric vehicle for less time than it takes to fill up a standard
gas tank before running a day’s worth of errands on that one charge.
Today, researchers at UCLA may have used some everyday, easily
available technology and graphene — a strong, flexible and highly
conductible carbon product — to make this dream of energy storage a
reality.

China’s New Solar Target: 40 GW By 2015 (8 Times More Than Its Initial 5 GW Target)
He
also cites this interesting stat: “Just 18 months ago, the 2015 target
for 2015 was just 5GW. But more than that has been installed this year
alone.” More than the initial target has been installed in 2012 alone.
Pretty astounding, eh?
Deutsche Bank analysts noted that the updated
forecast suggests that more than 10GW of solar will be installed in
China in each of the next three years. Assuming that solar deployment
will continue to increase rather than slow; that suggests a cumulative
total of well over 100GW by 2020.
Germany — 24.7 GW
Italy — 12.8 GW
Japan — 4.9 GW
Spain — 4.4 GW
USA — 4.4 GW_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From before 2013:This week, Tesla Motors announced the deployment of free solar powered Supercharger stations covering the state of California. Six stations are already active, and 100 stations are planned within the next three years. The company plans to cover the entire US within 5-10 years, a revolutionary step for EV's.

Tesla
Superchargers are placed along well-traveled routes in North America.
Six stations are currently active, expanding to over 100 stations in
2015. They’re designed to give road trippers half a charge in about
half an hour. That’s 150 miles of range with our 85 kWh battery.

heating would cost between $1000 and $1,500 U.S. dollars. The new
prices, due to the fully automated manufacturing, are now as low as
$600 – $800 per unit. Optional equipment with the reactor will supply
cooling/air conditioning and electricity for a home or office. Now
consider that this unit will operate for approximately six months
