A reader asked me to comment on this (larger version below).
There is no doubt that it will generate some power in choppy seas. It’s one of dozens, perhaps hundreds, of different ways inventors have developed to extract some of the energy of our ocean waves.
In today’s turbulent economy, businesses are searching for ways to lower operating costs while seeking to raise their PR on protecting the environment. A method that has become increasingly popular in recent years is a switch from reliance on non-renewable energy to sourcing only renewable “green energy” to operate their business. As more statistics emerge as to the benefit of switching to green energy, companies are looking for ways to switch to plans with providers that can help them go green. (more…)
When we look at the meme here on Denmark, realize that the United States could see a reaction against the neoliberalism that has been dominant here for the last 40 years, and head in this direction, like most of the rest of the developed world. Obviously, this won’t come from the beneficence of the top 1%, but rather from the increasingly severe hardship faced by the working class, and the growing realization that they’ve been lied to and betrayed by the current U.S. president.

What’s the most egregious aspect to Trump’s tweet here?
Maybe it’s his incredible lack of sympathy for the nearly 80,000 people who died agonizing deaths, and for the families that survived them.
Perhaps it’s his shameless violation of the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution, that expressly forbids anyone in elected office from profiting from his position.

My good friend Terry Ribb writes: under the subject line: ACADEMIC RESEARCH: Both conservatives and liberals want a green energy future, but for different reasons

Here’s Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, hitting the nail on the head.
For those of us who understand current events and interpret them like he does (and as the majority of Americans do), this is an extremely painful thing to watch.
The latest nail in the coffin, of course, is the Justice Department, (more…)
There is no waste in nature. The output of every biological process is the input for another, and this is true whether we are talking about leaves falling, animals eliminating, skins being shed from snakes, feathers molting from birds, or the bodies of all previously living things. This concept is known as “circularity.”
My interest in electric transportation took root in 2008. After I sold my marketing services company that I had run for more than 20 years, I functioned as the VP Marketing for EVWorld.com and a senior consultant for EVWorld and Associates. I attended tons of EV trade shows, mostly in the Bay Area, as well as the tradition auto debut venues in Los Angeles and Detroit. (more…)
Humankind is being put to the test with its response to COVID-19. To what degree can we come together as a species, put aside our surface differences, and contribute as one to a critically important common goal? (more…)
