A frequent commenter wrote a long and eloquent response, refuting one of my posts on the Trump presidency. I respond:
It’s funny; I have a friend on Facebook, my old friend Steve Vachss, who, like you, is a smart guy with a fabulous command of the language, but for some reason sees the need to get into all this pedantic goo. Come on; it’s not rocket science. (more…)
Gary Tulie, who made huge contributions to Bullish on Renewable Energy, points out, “One of the technologies discussed was Spallation Drilling (pictured) – a technique for speeding up drilling through hard rock for use in geothermal projects. The use of hypersonic projectiles is an alternative possibility. If the people from Hypersciences really can drill 10 times faster than conventional drilling, and can deep drill without the cost rising exponentially, their technique could be a game changer.” (more…)
I had the good luck to go to college with Q.C. “Beam” Furr (pictured), and apparently, he’s as good a person now as he was when I knew him 40 years ago. As a Commissioner of Broward County, Florida, here he is celebrating the opening of the Marine Environmental Education Center located on Hollywood’s North Beach. (more…)
Long-term readers will recall my frequent posts a few years ago about the marketing work I was doing for my client Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation, for which I got paid an equal balance of cash and stock. Looks like a liquidity event is happening in the next 30 days, as the company will be listed on the OTC, making it the first and only publicly traded OTEC company in the world. (more…)
Here are a few concepts we should be keeping in mind at this surreal point in U.S. history.
There is a large and growing list of Congresspeople calling for U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign, as it’s clear he committed perjury.
You’ll notice that there are no Republicans on the list. Yet. (more…)
In 2012, I interviewed Dr. Tom Konrad, owner of AltEnergyStocks.com, for my second book (Is Renewable Really Doable?). It would be hard to imagine someone more deeply immersed in the business/investment side of clean energy.
Tom (pictured above) was on CNBC recently, and told the interviewer, “I see the Trump administration not as a headwind for renewables, but as a reduced tailwind.” FWIW, I believe him. The market forces associated with solar and wind industries are too powerful to be destroyed, regardless of the determination of the fossil fuel industry (and the federal government it largely controls) to make that happen.
Here’s an announcement from FPL (Florida Power and Light) to build eight now solar plants in the state, each 55 MW. That’s impressive, and it’s evidence that Tom is correct.
2017 is predicted to be the year of innovation and modern design projects. Among all the important decisions you need to make in this case, the choice of materials plays an essential role. The exterior and interior design industries are no strangers to latest trends. (more…)
2GreenEnergy supporter Thomas Blakeslee posted a note on Facebook regarding this article from EcoWatch called Trump Gives Pen to Dow Chemical CEO After Signing Executive Order to Eliminate Regulations. Tom writes:
This is evil incarnate. (more…)
Just when the climate deniers are starting to get a toe-hold on justifying the continuation of business-as-usual on this planet, along comes an analysis so simple that any school kid could figure it out. It’s an interactive graphic on the causes of climate change from Bloomberg, and it’s really well done.
Put differently, can human consciousness ever understand the universe in its entirety?
The incredibly quotable Albert Einstein once said, “The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.” He died in 1955 (the year I was born), and that’s quite a while ago; I wonder if he would say that today, as more questions seem to have emerged than answers. (more…)
