Environmentalists aren't too pleased but petroleum companies are: President Obama and his administration will permit Shell to begin drilling this summer off the Alaskan coast, in the Arctic Ocean. Earlier this year, Obama permitted offshore drilling in an area of the Atlantic Coast. But throughout his presidency, Obama has continued to introduce restrictive measures on carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas… [ 336 more words. ]

The Obama Administration has initiated talks on restricting the aerospace industry's greenhouse gas emissions, stating that it might take some time before exact regulations take effect. According to the EPA, like the automobile industry and power plants, airplanes also negatively impact human health; thus, restrictions are necessary. Creating the regulations will take some time — nothing will be enacted while Obama is in office, and will be the next president's responsibility. [ 409 more words. ]

Coal is slowly being ousted by natural gas and renewable energies as an energy source. Even General Motors has joined the fight by eradicating the use of coal from its plants, which will allow the automobile company to prosper in a number of ways, including getting a head start on Obama's fuel economy mandates. GM and Ford have already moved to… [ 190 more words. ]

Titanium Sponge Plant to be Built in Saudi Arabia http://wp.me/p1HfIt-Dx

Saudi Arabia-based Royal Commission in Yanbu — an independent organization from the government — is currently building a factory to create titanium sponge. The current plant will undergo a technological upgrade, and will be outfitted with high-pressure oxidation equipment in order to generate titanium dioxide. The plant is slated to finish and begin producing titanium sponge by 2017. It is anticipated that the output of the new plant and the retrofitted plant will be 15,600 metric tons of titanium sponge annually, and 120 thousand tons of titanium dioxide yearly.

“Aluminum “superatoms” hint at a new type of superconducting materials” – Gizmag, 28 February 2015 http://wp.me/p1HfIt-CN

Scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) are currently in the throes of uncovering new superconductor materials that could be very useful for the electronics, medical imaging, microscopy, and electric motors industries, amongst other markets. In electronics, as electrons move through a circuit, they generate electrical resistance and emit waste energy in the form of heat, which is why, for instance, when our laptops overheat, the internal fan turns on and cools it down.

“US New Auto Sales: Ford F-Series Pickup Truck Deliveries Drop; Ford Explorer Soars” – International Business Times, 3 March 2015 http://wp.me/p1HfIt-CH

This past December, Ford rolled out its aluminum-body F-150 truck, the first of its kind for the company, but it seems like the new truck is just not cutting it: sales dipped for the car manufacturer's F-Series truck line this February, and has put the company squarely behind its competitors. Typically, the F-150 has the highest selling rate in the US; however, this February, overall sales dropped by two percent. [ 145 more words. ]

“India Looks to New Policies to Promote Scrap Metal Recycling” – Metal Miner, 23 February 2015 http://wp.me/p1HfIt-Db

India's recycling rate is the one of the lowest in the world, hovering around 25%, while the US's rate has climbed, now sitting at 90%. India's recycling rate remains poor because the government is fairly indifferent, and because the population is unaware of the advantages of recycling. The country's low recycling rate is a stressor on India's primary production — constantly having to manufacture primary metals instead of recycling scrap has weakened India's natural resources.

“New Titanium-Making Process Could Result in Lighter Aircraft” – MIT Technology Review, 26 February 2015 http://wp.me/p1HfIt-Cx

The aerospace industry has begun to employ more titanium in the production of aircraft parts, including engine components and fan blades. The lighter metal is invulnerable to corrosion, permits less fuel usage, and is adaptable to carbon composite materials, which can be found in many new aircrafts. Aluminum has typically been used in aircraft manufacturing, however the material conflicts with carbon composites. [ 154 more words. ]
