If we can learn how to capture and store just a fraction of the 85,000 terawatts of energy that our sun provides us yearly, we could meet all our energy needs without ever using another drop of fossil fuel. That said, solar energy today supplies far less than 1% of the electricity that we now use.      The engineers and technologists at eSolar, and the company’s key investor, Google, believe they are now ready to build rapidly deployable concentrating solar power (CSP) plants throughout the world. They expect their CSP plants to eventually produce electricity at coal-electricity generated prices.      A concentrating solar power plant uses relatively inexpensive components to generate electricity. The concept behind CSP is easy to understand: Mirrors are used to focus the sun’s heat onto a boiler. This solar heating is intense enough to generate steam, which spins an electric generator to produce electricity. Click to Read the Full Story

Nuance’s Dragon Naturally Speaking 10      I  dictated this review into a microphone. My typist was Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Professional. It had the job of  setting my words into type using Microsoft Word on a Netbook computer.      Any correction that was made during the editing process was marked so you can see specifically how well Dragon handled my dictation. When the program transcribed an error I added in the correct word, phrase, etc. in red and placed the incorrect word or phrase in brackets. It is now time to rest my fingers and let Dragon do the typing. Program Performance - Excellent
