Understanding Cap And Trade Plans
September 18, 2007 | 3 Comments
Last night Tucker Eskew at Terra Rossa posted with a video from youtube that explains the “cap and trade” system to contain and reduce unwanted stuff in an economy. I go to some lengths to avoid political bias in what I post and Terra Rossa is clearly a “conservative” sort of site. Although not heavily [...]

Thorium Reactor Guide and Link List
September 17, 2007 | 2 Comments
It’s really easy to overlook the subtle but strongest trends in energy production when relying on news, articles, blogs and so forth. But some trends have more legs in genuine science that’s already researched and have known paths and clearly observed obstacles along the way. Thorium nuclear reactors are one of the leading proven science [...]

A New Airliner
September 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment
The Europeans, in particular air carrier Easy Jet is asking that the airframe manufacturers build more effcient planes. See: http://business.guardian.co.uk/story/0,,2103055,00.html The interesting part is that EasyJet is asserting that what’s needed is available now and should be integrated into current offerings. The story by the Guardian is well done, short and to the point. Noteworthy [...]

$50 Billion Dollars?
September 12, 2007 | 3 Comments
It’s been quite bothersome to think of why the utility industry thinks it needs the backing of the US taxpayer to cover its equity for building atomic fission generating plants. $50 billion is a lot of money and its presumed that this amount may well cover half of the risk. So I’ve been doing some [...]

In Defense of The Nutty Professor
September 11, 2007 | 4 Comments
Today, September 11, 2007 Fox news is running a story about “Burning Saltwater.” At first glance its sounds nutty. But a little reading gets you the news that cancer researcher John Kanzius happened upon the discovery while trying to desalinate seawater with a radio frequency generator that he was developing to treat cancer.

Thorium Reactor Possibilities
September 10, 2007 | 17 Comments
With the U.S. Congress working out the “energy bill,” if one could label that thing as having much to do with assuring low cost, planet friendly and economically beneficial energy for everyone, there was some months back a flurry of thorium reactor information on the net from blogs and sites. One of the most useful [...]

Volvo Think
September 7, 2007 | 4 Comments
Sometimes I’m just pleased. Volvo seems to be one car manufacturer that’s thinking much like I do about hybrid cars. The prospect of a 124 mpg on nearly 100 mile trips is a yippee for me. See: http://www.leftlanenews.com/volvo-recharge.html#more-5682 http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/09/06/frankfurt-preview-volvo- recharge-the-swedes-go-series-hybrid/ On the other hand it has motors on all four wheels which seems like overkill, [...]
