Transition the first 10 Years

Transition- The First Ten Years , published almost exactly ten years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991, draws on the World Bank's operational experience and the extensive literature on transition to help address these questions.

This Book is worth reading, because....

While emphasising the importance of market - oriented policy reforms, the report also examines political strategies to push the reform process forward in different transition countries.

The Wave Dragon sets Sail

Technology
Wave Dragon
Wave Dragon is a floating, slack-moored energy converter of the overtopping type that can be deployed in a single unit or in arrays of Wave Dragon units in groups resulting in a power plant with a capacity comparable to traditional fossil based power plants.

The first prototype connected to the grid is currently deployed in Nissum Bredning, Denmark. Long term testing is carried out to determine system performance; i.e. availability and power production in different sea states. The energy absorption performance stated at this website has now been independently verified and focus will now be on power production optimisation.

These tests will lead to a multi-MW deployment in 2009.
