India’s green energy goals have a serious problem

Image
  India’s green energy goals have a serious problem – the Great Indian Bustard A WII survey covering 80 kms of power lines across Thar desert found 4 bustard deaths during a single year due to high-transmission wires, including some connected to wind turbines.              A Great Indian bustard in the Desert National Park near Jaisalmer, India | Bloomberg New Delhi:  Pity the great Indian bustard. The majestic, endangered bird is massive, making it slow to maneuver in flight. It has poor frontal vision, and an unfortunate habit of scanning the earth while flying across the flat grasslands of India’s western borders. That combination too often sets it on a fatal collision course with power lines. Pity also, if you will, the plight of India’s renewable energy developers. The wide-open region that’s home to the rare bird has long been an ideal location for wind and solar projects. In an effort to save the great Indian bustard from flying into p...

Why Nestle is one of the most hated companies in the world

Image
  Why Nestle is one of the most hated companies in the world Child labor, unethical promotion, manipulating uneducated mothers, pollution, price fixing and mislabeling – those are not words you want to see associated with your company. Nestle is the world’s largest foodstuff company, and it has a history that would make even hardcore industrialists shiver. We’re gonna look at why Nestle has such a bad reputation and whether or not it deserves it. People love to hate, and they really love to hate on big companies – whether or not they have a reason to. I especially dislike it when the latter happens. Companies (big companies included) are the very backbone of our economy, and they often get a bad rep for little or no reason. But sometimes there is a reason, or as in this case, several solid reasons, as we’ll see below. Which brings me to the next point: why are we writing this article? ZME Science is a science website (crazy, right?), and this is not strictly science, at least ...
