Waste-To-Biofuels
Here’s an article that presents the subject of waste-to-biofuels in a very readable, high-level way. In the U.S., we’re converting about 3% of our organic waste to some form of useful energy, as compared to 37% in Europe. Of course, …
U.S. President Obama's “All-of-the-Above” Energy Strategy
A friend of mine who had made some energy-related suggestions to President Obama just received a very thoughtful and well-written note in response, talking up the “all-of-the-above” strategy. I respond: That’s great. From here, I’d like to see some real …
