Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day!
Today is the 38th annual celebration of the planet we call home, and a day to step back and think about things we can do to preserve and restore our natural resources…
So that’s the official line on Earth Day, but I want to know: what do YOU think about Earth Day?
Is it a time to reflect on accomplishments?
A time to call for more action?
Or something in-between?
Send a post, let us know, then go outside and do something good for the planet.

Fueling the fire
After last week’s exploration of unorthodox, unique and just plain different alternatives to the conventional automobile, I thought it might be appropriate to talk about fuel.
Specifically, biofuel.
The Renewable Fuel Standard mandate included in the government’s 2007 energy bill called for the production of 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels by 2022.
All fine and dandy, until one considers the source of those fuels, especially the amount of space and energy needed to produce them.
Read this and this, then tell me:
Do you think biofuels are a way out of oil dependence, or are their proponents barking up the wrong tree (or cornstalk, for that matter)?

I think solar is THE long term solution. What is your email? I want to discuss my new hybrid adapter page and the PDQ Prize.
