An engineer in France, Peter Chretien, successfully design and develop the first manned electric helicopters at the request of the Solution F. Electric helicopters are even listed as the first manned electric helicopter in the world to successfully fly.

Chretien managed to design a helicopter within 12 months. As Popular Science reported on Tuesday (06/09/2011) electric helicopter is the first successful flight on August 12, 2011 ago. Altitude on the first flight is one meter. It is very very low. However, it still can not be underestimated because it managed to beat the previous electric helicopter, Sikorsky, which is designed without a crew.

Energy stingy vs.Energy Efficient

What comes to mind when you hear the word "energy-efficient?" Often, people immediately think of energy-efficient means turning off electrical appliances, turn off the lights and even air conditioning. People think that saving energy means we have to sacrifice comfort in the building, such as central air conditioning is turned off at 4 pm for saving electricity or Iift building that only stop at the floor even. Necessary to distinguish between "energy saving" and "energy-stingy." Energy saving should not sacrifice our productivity and even had a lot of research and success stories about how energy efficient it increases comfort, productivity and income.

Energy saving should be done by improving energy efficiency. Similarly, the definition of the word "efficiency", energy efficiency means how can we get the same benefits and outputs of a product or tool, but using less energy. Energy efficiency does not mean stopping the use of energy in total. Does your co-workers ever complain about not able to concentrate when the AC is turned off early or too dim lights? Things like that are not energy efficiency, because even though reduced energy use, productivity and comfort levels are also reduced drastically. Energy efficiency actually done to improve productivity because at its core, energy efficiency slogan is "use less, get more."

Behavior Change and Retrofitting

Prime Minister of Greece George Papandreou asked for the activation of financial assistance to his country who are experiencing difficulty a number of approximately U.S. $ 60 billion from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. In addition to in Greece, the crisis was also felt in several European capitals, from London to Berlin. In addition to the perceived difficulties and the Greek communities in the surrounding areas, there is a question about the impact of this crisis on the commitment of member countries of the European Union to reduce emissions by 80% in 2050.

A report prepared by the European Climate Foundation with technical and economic analysis of Imperial College London, KEMA, Oxford Economics, McKinsey & Company, E3G, and the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands have a surprising answer. Analysis of the so-called Roadmap 2050 states that in any low-carbon pathway were tested, the cost of electricity incurred comparable to the cost of using the infrastructure that produces carbon emissions. In other words, they can reduce carbon footprint and to mitigate the impact on the environment, or do not do it at all, at the same price.
