Knowledge Will Save Energy
August 23, 2010 | 5 Comments
The glitch in people saving energy and power is information put to use. The problem is important as many people ascribe to saving energy – the effort of research, the costs and the work involved vs. the simple habits of turning out the lights or turning down the thermostat. Some blame can be laid on [...]

A New Look At the Carbon Cycle
July 30, 2010 | 1 Comment
Two new studies with international participation might change the way scientists view the crucial relationship between Earth’s climate and the carbon cycle. The reports explore the global photosynthesis and respiration rates — the planet’s deep “breaths” of carbon dioxide, in and out. The researchers say that the new findings will be used to update and [...]

Occidental Petroleum is running a very clever and funny ad supporting and informing about what petroleum is used for as well as natural gas, gasoline and diesel. As you’ve seen in the video lots of things will disappear. They even missed important stuff like the concrete foundation of the house, the asphalt roadway and the [...]

Getting that CO² Back Into Fuel
July 26, 2010 | 5 Comments
University of Cincinnati researchers in Ohio are reporting the development of a catalytic hydroboration system for the “highly efficient” reduction of CO2 with a borane and then hydrolysis of the resulting methoxyboryl species to produce methanol (CH3OH) with a good yield. In short form – the researchers have a system to take CO2 gas and [...]

It’s out there, or so they say in the cosmic physics community. There is a mysterious “dark energy” believed to constitute nearly three-fourths of the mass and energy of the Universe out there. That’s a lot of power. Dark energy is the label scientists have given to what is causing the Universe to expand at [...]

Competition for Algae from Bacteria
July 7, 2010 | 3 Comments
Algae enjoy the highest potential of all the biological organisms for using sunlight to reform CO² and water into fuel products. But now scientists at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering have engineered photosynthetic bacteria to produce simple sugars and lactic acid. This innovation could lead to new, environmentally friendly methods for producing commodity [...]

This writer seldom does any site type of communications in person. Very few people acquainted with the author realize the site even exists. Speaking engagements would never be entertained and consultations would be more of a set of lessons adjusted as learning about the client grows the relationship. Fast paced verbal communication isn’t in the [...]
