Wouldn't you want the best for your own â€Ã…“dream carâ€? If you had the chance to build one yourself, wouldn't you use the best parts and products? Then you understand Michael Kadie, owner of SSI Racing, when he says all their cars are â€Ã…“crafted with blood, sweat and tears.â€
With the help of Spanish company Abengoa, which has now been present in the country for more than 30 years, Uruguay will have a 50 MW wind power plant right in its center, in the village of Peralta, Tacuarembó.
With the risks nuclear reactors are posing in every country, a solution had to be found for waste to be extracted. Thanks to researchers at the University of North Carolina, a material has been found, which on top of everything is 100% natural: forest debris mixed with crushed crustacean shells.

For example, right now drivers have a difficult time finding a facility to charge their electric cars and if they do, they have to use a cable for that. With Siemens and BMW working on the case, this will no longer be a fact.
Google has recently announced the construction of a new solar power plant in the Mojave Desert, California. BrightSource Energy is the local developing company in charge of the project and the power plant itself is known under the name of Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System (ISEGS).
