This “stirs controversy?” Ya think?
To provide readers insight into the area where 2GreenEnergy “headquarters” is located: this is the type of thing one would find in the city of Santa Barbara, where more people were gored by unicorns in 2016 than voted for Trump. Where we are, 30 minutes away in God’s country (Santa Ynez), it’s the opposite. You’d get a rock thrown through your window faster than you could spit.
The future of nuclear energy will follow one of two paths. When we say “advanced nuclear,” we’re normally talking about fission, the decay of large atoms into smaller ones. Because the products have less mass than the reactants, an enormous amount of energy is released, due to the world’s most famous equation. At this point, we’re normally referring to the decay of thorium, which has numerous safety related benefits. (more…)
Money. It’s tough to make, but often even more difficult to determine how to spend it. Market conditions, risk analysis, and estimated ROI are just a few of the factors you will have to review to determine what makes the most financial sense. Even more – you’ll have to evaluate the purpose behind your investment. What type of company are you purchasing stock from? Do their organizational goals align with your own morals? Are the actions this company takes to make money follow appropriate and ethical business practices? (more…)
In general, the world of politics is headed in a highly toxic direction. Pretty much wherever we look we see ever-growing demagoguery, racism, divisiveness, corruption/bribery, nepotism, impeachment, coups, construction of walls, trade wars, cruelty to asylum seekers (hitting children hardest), senators overtly refusing to uphold their oaths of office, voter suppression/sham elections, suppression of the free press, denial of science, demonization of (and punishment of) the poor, destruction of organized labor, unchecked gun violence (U.S. only), complete indifference to the will of the people, favors to wealthy donors, foreign entities controlling elections, re-insertion of religion into government, and unrepentant ruination of the planet.

At left we have a reminder that, in many cases, outrage works.
Regardless of how vicious a certain person, he probably isn’t immune to sheer fury that the world can present him with.
This is the reason I keep up my membership with Amnesty International. I don’t have the bandwidth to put pressure on the perpetrator of every crime against humanity going on around the globe; that’s what I pay them to do on my behalf.
As shown below, there are approximately one billion people living without access to electricity. That means no refrigeration, poor water quality, poor healthcare, and poor education. In turn, that means a vicious cycle of disease and poverty.
As with all tragedies, therein lies an opportunity. In this case, that’s microgrids powered by renewable energy, or, in other words, the possibility of bypassing fossil fuels altogether.
In this article: “Understanding The U.S. Economy: Lots Of Rotten Jobs,” the author explains why so many people have trouble finding work with decent pay and adequate predictable hours, given that the U.S. unemployment is at a 50-year low. (more…)
Earlier today we learned that the 169-page report issued by the House Judiciary Committee contains allegations that President Donald Trump committed criminal bribery and wire fraud, among “multiple federal crimes.” (more…)
If it’s possible, it seems that the fight against climate change is actually going backwards.
The United States and the European Union, as well, are refusing to assume any responsibility for the damage that their emissions are causing and their subsequent inaction. (more…)
As we frequently discuss here, island nations are often good candidates for flavors of renewable energy that have only niche applications, insofar as the alternatives are both dirty and expensive.
