A laser-based anemometer allows the wind turbine to “see” the wind before it touches the blades. With this information, the turbine can optimize both its position and the blades to use the wind more efficiently.
Since we've seen so many electronics companies improve the energy efficiency of their goods, eliminate toxins and put an increased focus on the greener aspects of products over the last year, it's only understandable that the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show's Sustainable Planet section grew 40 percent for this year with more than 30 exhibitors.

The good news: Most of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity is absorbed by the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems. The bad news: Recent studies have suggested that the ability of oceans and plants to absorb carbon dioxide recently may have begun to decline and that the airborne fraction of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions is therefore beginning to increase.
