MrEnergyCzar's video: Green Energy News Porsche 918 Spyder Floating Nuclear Plant Amazon Shrinking

This is Green Energy News, I'm your host MrEnergyCzar. We're covering Electric Cars, Renewable Energy, the Environment, Peak Oil and everything in between. • Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/MrEnergyCzar.PeakOil • Twitter: https://Twitter.com/MrEnergyCzar • The fastest and best supercars of the world will now be plug-in hybrids. First, the Porsche 918 plug-in Spyder. It's all electric range is 18 miles. It has almost 900 horsepower but has Prius like fuel economy. This plug-in set a world record time on the famous Nurburgring lap in Germany. Known as the Ring, it is the ultimate test of horsepower, aerodynamics and handling. • Not to be outdone, McLaren has a plug-in hybrid called P1. It has over 900 horsepower , a six mile electric range and a fuel efficiency of about 25 mpg. It goes 0 - 124 in less than 7 seconds. • China has purchased America's largest pork producer, Smithfield. China is desperate to feed it's new meat loving population. They can now factory farm the pigs in the states, export them to China while the waste and pollution stays behind in the U.S. • Robotic cyborg suits may start assisting the Fukushima clean-up workers. Japan's robotic industry is shifting it's focus to nuclear disaster cleanup. Robotic exoskeleton suits will allow the clean-up workers to lift heavier objects. The suits were originally designed to help Japan's elderly population. The clean-up at Fukushima may take over 40 years. • Russia will be building floating nuclear power plants. Each floating power plant can power a city of 200,000. Other countries, including Japan, have expressed interest. They can't avoid Tsunami's so it's impossible to know what would happen after being hit by one. Under normal operations it doesn't release any hazardous waste into the ocean. • Amazon deforestation has been rising in Brazil. During the past year, an area twice the size of L.A., or about a thousand square miles, was cleared. The Amazon is monitored by Brazil's space agency. Mining, farming and hydro-power projects are just some of the reasons for the shrinking of what is known as the lungs of the earth.
