Americans are almost equally divided on whether the Obama Administration should lift the moratorium on offshore oil drilling and on the possibility of BP returning to explore in the area of its massive spill, according to a new Gallup poll. REUTERS/Lee Celano/FilesAP – A flower shop in Florida that saw a drop-off in weddings this summer is probably out of luck. So is a restaurant in Idaho that had to switch seafood suppliers.

New solar energy conversion process could double solar efficiency of solar cells

A new process that simultaneously combines the light and heat of solar radiation to generate electricity could offer more than double the efficiency of existing solar cell technology, say the engineers who discovered it and proved that it works. The process, called ‘photon enhanced thermionic emission,” or PETE, could reduce the costs of solar energy production enough for it to compete with oil as an energy source.

BP more upbeat well capped, but could extend test (Reuters)

A Coast Guard Cutter skims oil near the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico Saturday, July 17, 2010. BP's 48-hour trial run of a cap blocking oil from streaming into the Gulf of Mexico has ended with no word on what happens next. BP spokesman Daren Beaudo said Saturday afternoon the company would communicate if the trial was stopped. With no word from BP as 3:25 p.m. EDT passed, video footage showed the well was still plugged.  (AP Photo/Dave Martin)Reuters – BP Plc expressed growing confidence on Saturday that its blown-out Gulf of Mexico well was effectively sealed, but a pressure test was likely to be extended to ensure there were no seabed leaks.
