Here’s an article that claims, “En términos simples, así es como funciona: la esfera se llena de agua que magnifica los rayos del sol en más de 10.000 veces, por lo que es posible generar energía de la luna,” which I translate as, “In simple terms, it functions like this: the sphere is full of water which magnifies the rays of the sun more than 10 thousand times, making it possible to generate energy from the moon.” (more…)

This guy goes from 0 – 60 in 1.69 seconds, which sounds like it might be a somewhat painful experience for the driver.

From The Borowitz Report: According to a new poll, Sarah Palin’s ability to articulate her positions on issues with precision and restraint is sorely lacking among other entrants in the G.O.P. race.

I honestly don’t know how this guy does it.  We all have access to the same information on a minute-to-minutes basis.  None of us has forgotten Sarah Palin.  But only Andy Borowitz can reach back and connect a seemingly unrelated item to a piece of breaking news in such an utterly hilarious fashion.  The guy is a magician.

We frequently lament that the U.S. federal government is going backwards vis-a-vis renewable energy, yet we are prone to overlook what is happening at the state and local level.  A new report from the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation documents how “13 states, districts and territories, as well as more than 200 cities and counties, have committed to a 100 percent clean electricity target — and dozens of cities have already hit it.” (more…)
