Study says wind turbines raise surrounding area temperature, but only at night
Who said the butterfly effect couldn't apply to renewable energy? Though wind farms are considered pretty green on the energy-generating spectrum, it looks like they, too, have an impact on the planet. According to a study published today in the journal Nature Climate Change, turbines can raise the local temperature -- albeit slightly. From 2003 to 2011, researchers monitored satellite data for west-central Texas, which is home to 2,350-plus turbines and four of the world's largest wind farms. In that decade, scientists observed a temperature increase of 0.72 degrees in wind farm regions compared to areas without turbines. That warming trend was especially marked at night, when the temperature difference between the ground and the air is highest. The temperature increase was also higher in winter; researchers say that these cooler, windier conditions cause turbines to generate more electricity and therefore create more heat. Since the study didn't find any change in daytime temperatures, it looks like we don't have to ring the global warming alarm just yet.

iReport: My favorite Japan destinations
by Patrick Budmar
In a recent CNNGo iReport assignment, we asked readers to share their photos of their favorite Japanese destinations.
Patrick Budmar, a 30-year-old Aussie from Sydney, told us what led him off the usual, well-worn tourist trail.
?I just wanted to show that there are places that can be easily and cheaply visited from Tokyo,? he said. ?Not all sightseeing has to be limited to Harajuku and the Imperial Palace, though they are great places to visit as well.?
Nearby natureWhile central Tokyo has much to offer in terms of sightseeing, things only start to get more interesting once you venture outside of the well-trodden paths of the city center.
Anyone keen to experience the natural beauty that Japan has to offer will realize that inner Tokyo has very little in this regard, but you don?t need to travel far to come into contact with a different side of the country.

Origin PC joins the 11-inch, rebadged gaming laptop party, outs the EON 11-S
Last week may have drawn to a close, but the march of Clevo news continues. On the heels of Maingear announcing an 11-inch gaming notebook, Origin PC is throwing its own ultraportable into the ring: the EON 11-S. Though this is a new model for the company (the smallest laptop it's ever sold, in fact), it's not quite fresh to us: this is the same exact Clevo-made notebook Maingear unveiled two days ago, only re-badged under Origin PC's brand and available in a wider range of colors. As far as performance goes, then, that means you can expect Ivy Bridge processors, a 2GB NVIDIA GT 650M GPU, Optimus graphics-switching technology and a battery rated for 6.5 hours of runtime. In Origin PC's case, the laptop starts at $999 (compared with $1,099 for Maingear), though you'll have to head over to Origin's site for a breakdown of what specs you'll be getting at that lower price. (Spoiler alert: adding an Ivy Bridge CPU instantly bumps the price to $1,294.)
