The Door Opens - Update: The Door Closes

Sun, May 4, 2008 at 6:43:18 pm PDT

Registration is now open for the standard, admittedly frustrating limited time. Read all the instructions, turn off spam filters, and if you don’t receive the confirmation email look for a link in the left sidebar that says “Re-send Confirmation.”

UPDATE at 5/4/08 7:31:37 pm:

Now closed, with 89 hatchlings on the delousing deck.

Wind power is part of Denmark's culture:

[Link: upload.wikimedia.org...]

Now they produce about 20% of their electricity from North Sea wind turbines:

[Link: upload.wikimedia.org...]

[Link: www.cardiff.ac.uk...]

People use most of their electricity during the day. Soon, the Dane's hope to use their nighttime production to charge up electric cars.

Denmark is partnering with an Israeli consortium which is having Renault-Nissan produce electric cars designed for a infrastructure going into place in Denmark and Israel.

NETANYA, Israel — Project Better Place, the Israeli venture focusing on electric cars, has named three more partners for its planned project of an electric recharge grid network infrastructure for electric vehicles.
