The Relevance of Piezoelectricity
When a mechanical stress is applied to certain materials, electrons flow through it producing electricity; such materials are called piezoelectric.
What is the practical applicability of this to generating useful amounts of power? Essentially nil. Keep in mind the law of energy conservation; every Joule of energy generated means a Joule consumed–actually more than one, due to losses. This is why it’s not feasible to put this in roads; doing so would cause more fuel to be consumed. (more…)
Federal Appeals Court Slams Environmental Protection Agency
For those living outside the United States, the “Founding Fathers,” i.e., the men who declared independence from England and wrote the seminal documents that form the underpinnings of our laws, are extremely well respected for their wisdom, not to mention their bravery. (more…)

That’s why I found the piece at the left particularly amusing. Enjoy.

Environmental Stewardship–Lots of Things Are Going A-OK.
As I wrote earlier, lots of things are going right vis-a-vis environmental stewardship. Yes, the U.S. federal government is an unholy disgrace as an entity on the world stage, but you can’t count out the basic goodness of the American people.
If you check out this video, I’m sure you’ll agree.
