Change in wind patterns may cause resumption of sea-level rise on the West Coast

Green Car Congress

Tide gauge data at Seattle, San Francisco and San Diego show sea level along the Pacific coast rising at about the global rate from 1930 to about 1980, but scant rise or even a lowering of sea level over the past three decades that is consistent with altimetry. Resulting warmer surface water will raise sea level.

U Delaware team develops prototype efficient direct ammonia fuel cell for transportation

Green Car Congress

With recent and projected cost declines in wind, solar, and lithium-ion batteries, electrification using batteries has become a viable option for applications compatible with the inherent range limitations and recharging time. However, the scale of biofuels is limited by their environmental footprint, considering the land and water usage.
