NM Senator Udall, Pickens Plan, Global Warming, Marshall Plan

Joyful Event

I would like to announce the tentative adoption of a new, personal, Senator. I don’t like the ones my neighbors keep electing, so I’m picking one of my own. I’m sorry it isn’t Congressman Barney Frank. I am awfully fond of this very smart man. Nor, unfortunately, is it Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Congresswoman from Florida’s 20th District, in part, of course, because she, like Mr. Frank, is not yet a Senator, but give her time. She is still young and a “real

I told Shell, Biofuel Tax Credits Restored & Retroactive, Greening Africa w/Facebook

While Visiting Scientific American

While on the SciAm website, I saw and answered a survey placed there by Shell Oil (aka Royal Dutch Shell) asking for "votes" on best methods to meet the energy crisis (though they didn't actually call it that), [part of] the exact question was, "What should the government do "
To see my answer you can go to their comments section where I did in fact give this reply, or you can skip the trip and read it below.

Rising Cost of Gas, African Air, Obama White House Stumbles

My Thoughts On Rising Gas Prices

California has done a very sensible thing in raising taxes on gasoline USERS since they are the ones who use the transportation infrastructure that state expenditures must maintain with the revenues they collect. Indeed, I think the nation needs to stop subsidizing oil company profits by taxing the cost of maintaining that transportation infrastructure of roads and bridges and traffic signs and ... well, you get the idea. If the "value chain" from which the p

Republican House Spurs Green Future Optimism, Burlesque, Will Thurmond

Republican House Spurs Green Future Optimism

Can it be true? Did I really says that? Can having Republicans in control of the House actually be good for the country and for “green tech” and “green energy” in particular? Well, we’ll have to wait and see, but I’m not the only one who remains optimistic until evidence proves otherwise. You see, a month ago an article entitled, Why The Election Could Be Good for Green Tech appeared in GreenTechMedia.com, written by Michael Kanel

Biomass $ Yield Tripled, Econ101 with Krugman, Exporting Green Energy Policy

The Economics of Biomass Has Just Changed – For the BETTER!

No one should rush to divest themselves of their Exxon stock because of the article carried in Science magazine, but George Huber, chief investigator at the University of Massachusetts Amherst based firm of Anellotech indicates that they have come up with a technique for a “tunable” two-stage catalytic process to turn pyrolysis derived bio-oil into a range of high value chemicals that have previously relied upon petroleum as t

Algae=Food+Fuel (not VsFuel); Browner, Biden Back DOE Loans

Who CARES who gets the credit?

We at DaoChi Energy of Arizona (my company) have developed an integrated model of algae cultivation for food and fuel, based on waste water sanitary processing, but which also calls for anaerobic digesters, algae oil to biojet fuel processing, ethanol (and/or biobutanol) production from algae fermentation and distillation, and finally, electricity generation both from the methane outgases of the digestion process but also gasification of residual sludge and ad

WH:Cave In, Ex-Im Bank Intro, "Go, Invest, Young Man"

White House Cave In

If that topic headline sounds like a sink hole swallowed the White House, you could be excused for guessing that. You would be wrong, but only because the analogy is far too mild for the inexcusable disaster of the White House collapsing when David Axelrod started making concession speeches about extending the Bush tax cuts before there was even any exchanges of discussion with the newly elected Republican House of Representatives Majority. I am all in favor of pacif
