The Secret to Tracking Ebola, MERS, and Flu? Sewers
MIT Professor Eric Alm thinks that sewers are the missing link to tracking public health. So far, his research is promising.
If there was a way to track the transmission of pathogens that cause diseases such as Ebola, MERS, or the flu, where could we do so? Eric Alm, a professor of microbiology at MIT, has an idea: use the sewers.
While we may think that planes, trucks, and cars constitute the bulk of what’s moving in and out of the city, it may be both surprising and obvious to hear that the bulk of mass coming in and out of a city on any given day is actually water. For the enormous quantities of clean water that are piped in, an equal amount of sewage is piped out. “Almost all of our human activities leave a chemical trace in the water,” says Alm. “There’s an enormous richness of information by looking in the water that’s indicative of what’s going in a city in a real-time fashion. We want to tap into that source of information and develop it into an information platform.”

What’s a Nanogrid?

March 25, 2014 By Linda Hardesty

Nanogrids are small microgrids, typically serving a single building or a single load. Navigant Research has developed its own definition of a nanogrid as being 100 kW for grid-tied systems and 5 kW for remote systems not interconnected with a utility grid.

Report: Ebola-hit countries facing recession

The fallout from the deadly Ebola pandemic in West Africa will push Guinea and Sierra Leone into recession next year, the World Bank has said.

With the disease still not under control, the cost to the two countries plus less-impacted Liberia of shuttered businesses and curtailed investment will run "well over" $2bn in 2014-2015, the bank said in a new report on Tuesday.

Governments in the three countries, where most of the nearly 7,000 deaths from the Ebola outbreak have occurred, have already seen their finances hit to the tune of around $500 million this year.

That has forced cutbacks to official spending for investment and services, on top of pullbacks by foreign investors and visitors frightened by the spread of the virus.

World’s Largest Solar Farm Is Fully Online

December 1, 2014 By Karen Henry

First Solar has completed construction of the world’s largest solar plant. The 550 MW Topaz Solar Farm is now fully operational.

Nine million thin-film, ground-mount solar PV panels have been installed across 3,500 acres on the northwest corner of the Carrizo Plain in San Louis Obispo County in California. Topaz is situated on largely non-prime agricultural land that has limited productivity. It is more than six miles from the more sensitive habitats in the Carrizo Plain National Monument.

Construction began on the more than $2 billion project in 2011 with an estimated completion date of early 2015. The project achieved full commercial operation late last month with the completion of its final 40-MW (AC) phase.

MidAmerican Renewables acquired the solar farm in November 2012, and First Solar will operate and maintain the project for MidAmerican, according to a 2012 press release announcing the deal. PG&E will purchase electricity from Topaz under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA).
