		<title>Wind Turbines Help Crops by Channelling Beneficial Breezes Over Nearby Plants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wind turbines in Midwestern farm fields may be doing more than churning out electricity. The giant turbine blades that generate renewable energy might also help corn and soybean crops stay cooler and dryer, help them fend off fungal infestations and improve their ability to extract growth-enhancing carbon dioxide [CO2] from the air and soil.]]></description>

		<title>Scientists Create Artificial Mini &#8216;Black Hole&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chinese researchers have successfully built an electromagnetic absorbing device for microwave frequencies. The device, made of a thin cylinder comprising 60 concentric rings of metamaterials, is capable of absorbing microwave radiation, and has been compared to an astrophysical black hole (which, in space, soaks up matter and light).]]></description>

		<title>Oil Spill Puts Commercially Significant Cold-Water Reefs in Peril</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thousands of barrels of oil are leaking out of the Deepwater Horizon site each day. The oil ascends from depths of approximately 1502 m. (4928 ft.), but not all of it reaches the sea surface. The stratified seawater of the Gulf of Mexico captures or slows the ascent of the oil, and the addition of dispersants near the oil source produces tiny droplets that float for a considerable time in the water column and may never reach the surface.]]></description>

		<title>Sustainable Energy and the Return of the Fly(wheel)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The flywheel is an old technology that dates back to Neolithic-era spindles and potter’s wheels.  Flywheels made a huge splash during the Industrial Revolution (anyone remember steam engines?) and now they’re ready to take center stage in the new wave of sustainable energy.]]></description>

		<title>Environmentalists try to ban release of synthetic life forms into the wild</title>

		<title>Detroit: From Motor City To Urban Farm?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Detroit was once the 4th largest city in America and it held the title of Motor City because most of America’s cars came from there. Flash forward 40 years, and Detroit’s population has dwindled from a high of 2 million people to just over 800,000. The average price for a home in Detroit is $15,000, the lowest in the country. With so many empty spaces, criminals have no shortage of hideouts and drug factories. And with America’s auto industry still reeling from the recession, as well as having outsourced many jobs to other states (or countries), the future looks bleak for Detroit’s long-deferred recovery.]]></description>

		<title>Earthquake in Chile Causesd Days to Be Longer, Austrian Researchers Find</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the earthquake in Chile in February 2010, the advanced geodesy research group at the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) has been helping measure Earth on a global scale. First results indicate that the rotational speed of Earth has become marginally slower and days have become longer by 0.3 microseconds.Since the earthquake in Chile in February 2010, the advanced geodesy research group at the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) has been helping measure Earth on a global scale.

		<title>Germany Runs Out of Solar Panels Due to Generous Feed-In Tariff</title>

He estimates that in this year alone; it will be very close to 3 Gigawatts.]]></description>

		<title>Lexus Thinks Compact LF-Ch Hatchback Hybrid Would Sell in U.S.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Although the Lexus booth at the 2009 LA Auto Show was rather devoid of inspiring next-gen green automotive technology, I did make a quick stop by to look at their traveling LF-Ch exhibit. The company has put together a display that’s supposed to help figure out what styling cues show attendees like best about the concept hybrid hatchback by giving them the ability to take pictures of the car and upload them to a database. It actually was one of the worst-executed interactive displays I’ve seen in a long time. Needless to say, I decided to pass up the interactivity.]]></description>
