Energy Independence for Sustainable Future

Sampath Srivatsan — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 09:06:37 -0500

Oil is one of the greatest inventions of mankind. It was derived from fossil fuels and has powered automobiles and machines for centuries. The worldwide demand for oil has increased faster than the supplies of oil. Globalization and population increase around the planet are some of the reasons that has increased the consumption of oil to several folds.

Tech Watch: Nukes In Your Yard and Fuel Cells In Your Pocket

Chris Dannen — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 10:15:05 -0500

If there are two energy sources that folks aren't exactly comfortable with, it's hydrogen fuel cells and nuclear power. The first involves using and storing large amounts of highly explosive liquid hydrogen, and is reminiscent of that most menacing of atomic bombs. The second one calls to mind Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and, well, atomic bombs. But we might be well served to get over our fear of fission and hydrogen if we're to avail ourselves of the solutions of the future, two of which bring nuclear power and fuel cells uncomfortably close to home.

The desire for sustainability needs to be deeper than skin color and religious differences; it should be about the protection of our planet.

Postcard from Beijing

Terry Tamminen — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:53:45 -0400

What do Starbucks and smog have in common? Opportunity. As I walk around Beijing, the signs of the 2008 Olympics fading into memory, I am struck by the fact that every corner has a Starbucks, not to mention other ubiquitous American iconography - - Sizzler, Nike, 7-11, Hummers, and CNN to name a few. I’m also struck by the fact that the smog problem remains untamed, despite efforts pre and post Olympics to reduce pollution from traffic and smokestacks. So why do these two forces - - American companies and smog - - have anything to do with opportunity?

The Otherwise Unsaid

Steve Marzocco — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:47:37 -0400

The title says it all but just in case; I'll add that, this is about my blogging here and elsewhere not only because what I write might be "otherwise unsaid" by me, but from rather extensive study and interaction with a typically very unusual mix of people from all ranks of society, experts in numerous disciplines and leaders of companies of all shapes and sizes but also of a wide variety of institutions, trade groups, non-profits, standard-setting bodies, policy-makers and elected offices and agencies from local to national and with unusually close reach to top international lead

Tire Gauges of the World - - UNITE!

Terry Tamminen — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 14:25:25 -0400

Last week, Senator Obama called on American drivers to properly inflate their tires as one of many ways we can cut our energy bills and our carbon footprints simultaneously. Although this simple call to action was caught up in political silliness (including a cameo by Paris Hilton!), the idea of working our way out of our energy and climate change challenges is exactly the right one.

Let’s Look Beyond the Haze

Terry Tamminen — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:10:51 -0400

I was in Beijing last week and noticed the smog, of course, but as China grapples with Olympics and air quality I also saw something much more important. China is serious about energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gases.

In recent months, the Chinese government has closed over 21 gigawatts of the dirtiest, most inefficient power plants. They didn’t do this just for a temporary clean air benefit around Beijing - - it was done permanently all across the country. They also closed inefficient foundries, furnaces, and cement makers in huge numbers.

I am 53, spent 15 years at home with my kids; become a nurse, and worked for another 15 years. I then came home again with lupus, and MCS- multiple chemical sensitivities. Basically that means I became more and more allergic to the toxins in my world. I went through several programs offered by Russ Dalbey; learned to quote a figure for those wanting to get rid of their notes. Dalbey also offered a group of investors to buy these notes.

Big Wind from Texas

Kermit Pattison — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:12:46 -0400

Quick! What state symbolizes the old petroleum economy? Texas, of course. Now, what state leads the way towards a future of clean, renewable wind energy? Texas again! By early 2008, Texas had installed more than 5,300 megawatts of wind production -- more than twice second place state California -- and had another 2,000 megawatts under production. Why in the name of Sam Houston is the state of Spindletop messing with wind?

Who’s Got the Winning Idea?

Terry Tamminen — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 15:03:59 -0400

As we scramble for solutions to climate, energy, and environmental problems, companies, governments, and individuals are taking action - - so does anyone have a monopoly on great ideas for true “sustainability” or “social responsibility”?

The World's First Moving (Not Just Rotating!) Building

Saabira Chaudhuri — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:03:03 -0400

An 80-storey (420-metre tall) moving building is slated to be built in Dubai, with apartments that will spin 360 degrees at voice command, according to the BBC.

Talk about innovative… 79 horizontally placed wind turbines located between each floor, producing enough energy to make the building self-sufficient, will fuel the apartments' motion.
