		<title>Ford Focus Electric’s Battery Will Feature Heating/Cooling Before Charging</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ford wants to implement cooling/heating mechanisms for the batteries they will include in their future Focus Electric. The engineers at Ford designed a thermally conductive liquid that circulates throughout the battery.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheGreenOptimistic/~4/R33mOV7myAY" height="1">]]></description>

		<title>Powering the Military with “Game-Changing” Solar Tech</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
Fighting a war on the ground in Afghanistan has to be one of the hardest  things a young person can do.
Fortunately, the U.S. Department of Defense, or DOD, is on the ground with  our troops offering help and support – albeit in some very unexpected ways.

According to  Tony Bui, an engineer with [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Cement Absorbs Carbon Dioxide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cement is a strong and reliable building material, and the demand for it continues to go up. Unfortunately, the process used to manufacture most of the world&#8217;s cement creates 5 percent of the man-made carbon dioxide emissions. A new cement company, however, promises a new technique that will transform cement into a greener building material.... <a class="excerpt_more" href="http://greenbuildingelements.com/2010/09/03/new-cement-absorbs-carbon-dioxide/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

		<title>Nanotube-Based Water Purifier From Stanford Filters Water Quicker, Kills Bacteria</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dangerous bacteria can often hide in the water you drink, but they're not harmful until they reach a certain number to become active inside your body. Regular water purifying technologies consume a lot of power, but a team of Stanford researchers have developed a new low-cost, high-speed filter that works differently than other purifiers.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheGreenOptimistic/~4/gANHcSKbwv4" height="1">]]></description>

		<title>Some Diesels Cleaner Than Electric Cars, Swiss Researchers Say</title>
		<description><![CDATA[European cars often get a fuel economy of about 42 mpg, with some newer models even getting 60 mpg or more. The technology adopted for electric cars, on the other hand, uses mainly lithium ion batteries, made of metals extracted from mountains by using complex chemical processes that not only generate CO2, but also pollute the environment and help to deforestation.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheGreenOptimistic/~4/Tw1-jSseBKQ" height="1">]]></description>

		<title>Self-Repairing, Leaf-Mimicking Solar Cells Invented by MIT Scientists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A new and effective way of harnessing solar power comes from the researchers at MIT. Once again trying to mimic the way green plants work, the scientists now have a different approach, pointing to the fact that, otherwise invisible, the effects of sunlight over solar cells are often damaging.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheGreenOptimistic/~4/6x9sX9ICVkQ" height="1">]]></description>
