SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MiaSolé, the emerging leader in the manufacture of CIGS thin-film photovoltaic modules, is pleased to announce that it has started shipping its CIGS thin-film modules from its California production facility.
“We have now shipped modules to 30 customer sites in Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Portugal and various locations in the United States; we now have commercial projects in the ground, under development and on the drawing board,” said Dr. Joseph Laia, Chief Executive Officer. “With complete UL/IEC certification and long-standing customer partnerships, we are now ramping our factory output and production capacity for 2010. We are confident our cost structure and manufacturing efficiencies will enable us to compete effectively in the large and growing solar energy market.”

"And, perhaps most reprehensibly," Delingpole writes, "a long series of communications discussing how best to squeeze dissenting scientists out of the peer review process. How, in other words, to create a scientific climate in which anyone who disagrees with AGW can be written off as a crank, whose views do not have a scrap of authority."

Global warming is a political agenda designed to increase the size and power of Govt.

Obviously the Cruze's engine will have turbo boost and the Volt won't.

Does anyone know if the Volt's engine will be DI though? ]]> Engineering omnimoeish http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3724 http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3723&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:14:41 GMT The first two journalists' reports of what it's like to drive the Chevy Volt while in generator mode operation have been published.

Hurry because their budget is only 100 cars.

Like many others, I believe that the NiMH battery can be the basis for a perfectly good electric car with much more promise than the Chevy Volt. And despite the lies told by Chevron and GM, I would love to buy an EV1 if they manufactured them again. As one of the first buyers of a Prius in this country, I do not think that hybrids have any future. Hybrids are too expensive to fix and too expensive to maintain. Few Toyota dealers know how to fix a Prius. ]]> Lithium-ion and Advanced Automotive Batteries Desertstraw http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3716 http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3715&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:31:30 GMT does anyone know any credible sources of information concerning the electricity requirements of modern electric vehicles per mile of travel and the... does anyone know any credible sources of information concerning the electricity requirements of modern electric vehicles per mile of travel and the electricity capacity of the batteries, i am keen to know what the performance of modern electric vehicles are and also to gain knowledge of how they will perform in 20 years time. ]]> Charging Infrastructure crubkings http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3715 http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3714&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:33:27 GMT The Belgian governement decided that if you buy a car with less then 60g/km emmision you get a 15% tax reduction and you can write it off for 100% if... The Belgian governement decided that if you buy a car with less then 60g/km emmision you get a 15% tax reduction and you can write it off for 100% if it's a company car.

If the emmision is 0 you get 30% tax reduction and you can write it off for 120% if it's a company car.

This means that the volt will get you a tax reduction of 9000 euro (13500 dollar) and a 120% write off. As the Ampera is expected to retail for 30.000 euro it will cost 21.000 euro or 29500 dollar.

If you install a compagny rechargepoint you can write it off for 110% and this in 2 years. ]]> News filiep http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3714 http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3712&goto=newpost Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:41:45 GMT Cad Drafting Services, autocad drafting, architectural drafting, custom home plans, house plans.
