We’ve all seen the plummeting prices of solar, wind, energy efficiency solutions, energy storage and the rest. And while all that’s good, it creates huge stressors on other areas of clean energy technology: hydrokinetics, biomass and geothermal. Having said that, there are still a great number of companies hard at work to deliver cost-effective marine and run-of-river hydro, one of which is Oceana Energy Company. (more…)
Frequent commenter MarcoPolo writes: If you want to accept a doctrine based on faith, that’s okay by me. However, it precludes any objective or realistic analysis. No one can accurately predict the future.
First, no one’s suggesting that taking things on faith is a good idea. Clearly Aldous Huxley didn’t think so, given his famous quote on the subject at the left. (more…)
If you are the kind of person who actually cares about the planet then a green decor will be your choice for everything. When you move to a new house, you will keep this is mind when choosing the proper décor items. Also, if you think it is time to make some changes in the current décor of your house, think green again. (more…)
Creating an energy efficient office environment can be difficult, but it’s becoming increasingly important to implement energy saving measures. By following a few simple tips, any office can curb its energy usage. (more…)
In response to my post on U.S. military policy vis-a-vis ISIS, frequent commenter Larry Lemmert writes: Craig, you have laid responsibility for the creation of the current batch of terrorists at the feet of U.S. and allied powers who have projected power in the Middle East…. Hitler was running wild over Europe committing atrocities that most of the civilized world could not ignore. ISIS today has similar aspirations and perhaps a larger following of Jihadists foot soldiers who will die for their evil cause. I think that you are on the wrong side of history regarding pacifism in the face of evil.
A couple of things: (more…)
Due to the growing environmental awareness, and growing concerns about home safety, more and more people look for green cleaning products which are made with natural and biodegradable substances. Even though there has been an increase in popularity of these products recently, it is a doubtful manner how safe they really are for the environment.
Advantages of being green (more…)
Longtime 2GreenEnergy reader/commenter Larry Lemmert, whom I respect greatly, writes about my suggestion that “war is not the answer” as follows:
There are people inside and outside our borders who mean us harm. How should we react to them? Turning the other cheek if done in a literal sense would allow many innocent people to die at the hands of power-hungry terrorists. Defending our freedom to be disagreeable means we or our enemies will die. (more…)
2GreenEnergy megasupporter Cameron Atwood just sent me this from G.K. Surya Prakash (pictured), a chemistry professor at the University of Southern California: “Earth doesn’t have an energy problem. We have an energy storage problem.”
There is no doubt that the advent of cheap energy storage will go a long way to enable the migration from fossil fuels, both by a) facilitating the integration of variable resources, i.e., solar and wind, and b) by eliminating the need for liquid transportation fuels. (more…)

Obviously, there are people whom I deem to be on the wrong side of the issues, but that’s more than fine; it would be a rather dull world if everyone were in agreement.
