On May 18, the sky above Alabama was disturbed by a meteor that blazed through the night sky. Spotted by the cameras at the Marshall Space Flight Center, the rock was estimated to weigh about 60 pounds. NASA is hoping that those in the area will find chunks of the rock and turn them in for study. As for me, I’m just glad it didn’t fall on my head!!

Wind Power!!

June 3rd, 2010

One thing I like to hear about the power of wind. I feel good that companies are finding it profitable to harness the power of the wing to provide energy for businesses and people. One such company is called Suncor Energy Inc and they are set to build a wind farm in Alberta, Canada. This is good news to me.

The farm will consist of 55 turbines that will power an estimated 35,000 homes. Now that they have the required permits, they hope to start construction soon. Suncor already owns 4 wind farms and is providing power to thousands of people. I say hurrah for this company and the good work they do!
