A Brief History Of The Stun Gun

Anyone who laughed through this summer's hit movie, "The Devil Wears Prada," knows that clothes can, indeed, the woman make.

In some cases, such as the path of 'professional' careers such as being a lawyer or doctor, this is obvious. But in others it might not be. For instance, how does one NASA Space shuttle pilots can perform computational fluid dynamics analysis and consulting services at the space station? How about a film director? A real estate developer or entrepreneur?

Obama just called for a "new generation" of nuclear power plants to be built in the United States and has requested billion in his budget to get them started.

Another form of ocean energy is called tidal energy. When tides comes into the shore, they can be trapped in reservoirs behind dams. Then when the tide drops, the water behind the dam can be let out just like in a regular hydroelectric power generation. In order for this to work well, you need large increases in tides. An increase of at least 16 feet between low tide to high tide is needed. There are only a few places where this tide change occurs around the earth. Some power plants are already operating using this idea. One plant in France makes enough energy from tides to power 240,000 homes.
