hybrid cars :from factory to road

It’s a happy news from RTA ( Road transport Authority ) of Dubai , the launching of new hybrid cars as taxis . as a developed city Dubai is a role model for many other middle east town . 
  As a taxi , it’s a chevy’s TAHOI (one of my fav car … ) but with a hybrid technology . it can operate on both battery and fuel . while cars in low speed or in traffic it automatically changing in to the battery supply . As a heavy traffic on dubai roads , it can save a lot of fuel . am sure it is a starting ,and main appreciating part is the UAE s oil output , although have a splendid source , the govt decided one of keen decision in energy conservation . I hope this trend will spread to all road , let’s hope lots of green cars in the roads of Dubai .

  Some interesting facts about hybrid cars : 

• Hybrid cars like the Toyota Prius produce 90% less pollutants than comparable non-hybrid cars. By putting less harmful chemicals in the environment, the harmful effects of pollution can be halted or even reversed.
• Hybrid cars show much lower depreciation rates than standard gasoline cars. They are now and will continue to be in extremely high demand, so hybrid cars keep their values very well, making a hybrid car a sound investment.

• You don't have to be an environmentalist to love hybrid cars. Consider the following: ACME Construction has a fleet of 10 work trucks that together drive 2500 miles a week, and guzzle $308 of gas a week. A new hybrid truck offered by a major manufacturer can save ACME Construction nearly $7000 per year, in gasoline costs alone. When factoring in lower depreciation and tax incentives, this number skyrockets. Capitalists can love hybrids too. Hybrid car technology has been accepted as a solution for the automobile pollution problems of the day.

wind energy

Wind eternl and ever lasting Wind 
Wherever on earth..there is the element wind 

How powerful the strength of the wind 
Uplifting a tremendeous deadly tidal wave 
Pushing heavy clouds over mountain chain 
Magically turning into heavy storm and rain 

How fascinating the songs of the  wind 
Carrying up high the bird on spread wings 
Looking almost like the shape of a fairy 

So incredibly languishing and airy 

                 the human race know the power of wind for long years , they are exploting  the wind energy  , and recently i got an  article regarding the horn rev in denmark. its  20 KM far from the cost of denamark with a capacity of 160 MW!!!

   from wind getting this much energy and the initial cost is  little bit more as installation is not so easy as in an offshore construction . 

   the details regarding the construction phase and other detail can be acces thru 

                        www.hornsrev.dk

Just check the possibility of this idea in the developing country where poeple are living in a congested way so space is the problem .

   its happy to see the new R &D on the wind farm as its a promising energy form without any waste and hazard ,
