New Device to Remotely Let Pets In and Out  Thru Your Sliding Glass Doors Source:  Wayzn Automatic Pet Door Device Wayzn Automatic, Smart Pet Door With Your Smart Phone  A new invention turns your sliding glass doors into a very smart, automatic pet door when you're not a home.  It puts you in control of the pet going in and outside through your smart phone.  The device is called Wayzn..  The company, which is US based,  says  the device can be installed by the owner within minutes. The smart device detects the pet at the door and sends the owner an alert to let the pet outdoors or to come back inside. The process is remotely handled by the dog/pet owners. You and Your Dog Working Remotely The device works with a camera and smart speakers like Alexa and Nest to give the human owners full control remotely of the sliding glass doors no matter their location. The company says this works with all standard doors and is much more secure than traditional dog doors.  It also fo

BP, Shell, Total Target Carbon-Free Oil Platforms Source:  North Sea Oil Platform Petition Norway for Green Electricity There's yet another sign that big oil is making an effort to go green and use renewable energy.  BP, Shell and Total have petitioned the government of Norway to connect some of their oil platforms in the North Sea to Norway's power grid.  The oil companies want to reduce their carbon emissions by electrifying the platforms with energy generated by wind and hydro power. Underwater Cable Connections The offshore platforms in the North Sea could be connected to the grid by a 300 kilometer underwater cable. BP says electrifying the platforms would significantly reduce carbon emissions. Norway generates electricity primarily from wind and hydro power. Electrifying the oil platforms would replace fossil fuel energy with carbon free energy. Green Moves This week, the new CEO of BP Bernard Looney said that BP will radically cut carbon emissions and

Blended Wing MAVERICK Source:  Airbus Future of Flying & Cutting Fuel Consumption French airplane manufacturing giant Airbus just disclosed that it has developed and tested a radical new flying machine.  It's a blended wing commercial passenger jet.  The new aircraft has great promise. It cuts jet fuel consumption by 20%.  And the radical, wide bodied, V-type design opens up tremendous opportunities to redesign the cabin area for passengers. In fact, it has the capacity to accommodate many more passengers than traditional passenger jets. Model Aircraft Demonstrated at the 2020 Singapore Air Show Airbus says this is radical new aircraft design.  It says it's testing disruptive aircraft configurations like the MAVERICK to evaluate their potential use.  They will continue testing their blended wing aircraft through 2025.  They demonstrated how the concept aircraft works with a small, remote-controlled version at this week's Singapore 2020 Air Show.

NASA and ESA's Blackbird Mission Source: Davos  Unprecedented Solar Orbiter Probe NASA and the European Space Agency have successfully launched the Solar Orbiter on a journey to the Sun, to take unprecedented views of its blazing solar poles.  The Solar Orbiter took off on top of an Atlas 5 rocket.  The Orbiter separated from the rocket within 53 minutes to go into space flight as planned and is now in communications with NASA.  All of this happened in the past few days.  This unique mission is going very well as it moves along on a very long journey to the Sun. Mission Unprecedented This US and European mission is unprecedented.   It's expected to help scientists understand how the Sun's massive amount of energy affects humans in space and how it impacts all of us on the Earth. The mission will provide unique images, views and data of the sun's blazing pole regions, which are critical sources of data. Ten Year Journey The orbiter is equi

British Petroleum Goes Green - "Reimagining Energy" Commitment Source:  BP Aggressive Commitment to Eliminate or Offset Carbon Emissions Big oil is at the epicenter and the primary cause of global climate change.  So it is major news when the British oil giant BP promises to eliminate or offset all carbon emissions from its operations and from the products it sells globally by 2050. This is the most radical strategic position that BP has taken in its 111 year global oil and gas history. They call their commitment "Reimagining Energy". The question being asked by many around the world is:  How is BP going to do it? Huge Amounts of Carbon Emissions Yearly The amount of toxic carbon emissions that BP is committing to eliminate is huge.  Every year, 55 million metric tons of carbon emissions spew into the atmosphere from BP operations. That amount is dwarfed by carbon emissions from BP customers using their energy products.  Global BP produ

Expands EV Portfolio with LA Startup Canoo Source: Canoo Hyundai Developing New Platform for EV Cars, Trucks, SUV's  South Korean automotive giant Hyundai is broadening and deepening its future transportation and electric vehicle lineup through a new partnership with Los Angeles EV startup Canoo. The two are partnering to develop a distinctive, new skateboard platform that Hyundai can use to produce a wide range of inexpensive electric cars and e-vehicles. Skateboard Platforms Skateboard platforms are the rage for EV manufacturers with major players like Detroit-based Rivian and Israeli startup REE getting significant outside investments to develop their own skateboard platforms.  What stands out about Hyundai is that its investment commitment into future mobility technologies for EV's in particular is now hitting an unprecedented amount of $87 billion over the next few years.  Their partnership with Canoo is their latest partnership commitment to the future of EV
