New geothermal heat extraction process to deliver clean power generation

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

A new method for capturing significantly more heat from low-temperature geothermal resources holds promise for generating virtually pollution-free electrical energy. Scientists at the Department of Energys Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will determine if their innovative approach can safely and economically extract and convert heat from vast untapped geothermal resources.

The goal is to enable power generation from low-temperature geothermal resources at an economical cost. In addition to being a clean energy source without any greenhouse gas emissions, geothermal is also a steady and dependable source of power.

Business TV Penny Power – collaborative businesses do better

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Hear expert business advice from social networking guru Penny Power, Founder of Ecademy. In this business tv show, she speaks candidly about this collaborative business approach serves so many companies so well, and explains how social networking can be of great help to them as they do it:

“Well I’ve watched these businesses in Ecademy and I suppose for a, to a certain I’ve taken for granted what an Ecademy business member is and it wasn’t until recently somebody recently highlighted to me the difference between Ecademy’s network and other networks that it started making me realise that 21st century business is built through collaboration and is built much more through having people on contract to you running their own businesses are able to really raise your game all the time because if they’re contracted to you as a business they are wanting to be a supplier to your business, makes your business have the best at all times in your business and rather than managing a large work force of people that you are ending up having to have HR departments to manage and offices to keep them in you’re actually, as the leader of that business, focussed entirely on what the customer wants because you’re not having to manage HR and facilities so 21st century business people should be collaborating with large groups of people that are all the experts in their field and bringing their skills in for their clients when they need them and that’s the way that I see people using social networks at their absolute best is when they’re not just using it as somewhere to get referrals and grow their brand, they’re also using it in a collaborative way to develop their business in having the best people in their network.
You know I’ve already talked about Darwin and the species who are most likely to survive is the one who can adapt the most. That has to be one of the most important mantras that we have when we go into the 21st century.
Massive competition, massive visibility of brands so how can your business constantly adapt to this changing world that’s accelerating at internet speed, the knowledge is accelerating, the needs, the demand for markets are accelerating.
If you have a leading business where you’re completely customer focussed then you’re going to be able to adapt and by using a social network, a large group of people around you, experts in their field you’re going to be able to adapt your business utilising a field of people rather than utilising a base of employees.
