TIME magazine: The Clean Energy Scam Posted: 5 months ago by cb__
Critics call biofuels a "crime against humanity" - pitting the 800 million people with cars against the 800 million people with hunger. Every acre used to generate fuel is an acre that can't be used to generate the food needed to feed us or the carbon storage needed to save us.

Weather Channel Founder: Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’ Posted: 10 months ago by titojuante

The British Electrical Socket Posted: 10 months ago by pitim
Meet the standard British electrical socket; actually designed with an on/off switch. Many electrical appliances draw electricity even when they’re turned off. Here’s the euro solution: Every electrical socket in my flat here in the UK has an on/off switch. Imagine how much energy we could save if we cut off the electricity to every socket not in use. This is cutting down on wasted energy, energy from cell phone chargers left surging power to a fully charged cell phone- or equally as bad- a cell phone charger left charging after the phone has been removed from the charger. I took a look online- hoping to find some of these eco-friendly euro devices that could be used in the construction of new American homes. I came up with nada. How do we build eco-friendly homes without economical resources?

65-million-year-old asteroid impact triggered a global hail of carbon beads Posted: 4 months ago by AutumnLotus
The asteroid presumed to have wiped out the dinosaurs struck the Earth with such force that carbon deep in the Earth's crust liquefied, rocketed skyward, and formed tiny airborne beads that blanketed the planet, say scientists from the U.S., U.K., Italy, and New Zealand in this month's Geology.

Switching to switchgrass Posted: 6 months ago by AutumnLotus
After decades of feeding cattle and securing topsoil in the Great Plains, switchgrass — a feathery perennial native to the region — is being groomed for a new role: green energy production. A five-year field study found that ethanol made from switchgrass yields 5.4 times the amount of fossil fuel energy it takes to grow, harvest and convert the grass to fuel.
