POPSScience Research Needs Continuity Science Research needs continuity that cannot be found through the use of a market forces model. This article sums up the setback in alternative source energy research which happened in the 1980's. We may now be ready to set things right, f we continue to fund scientific research for alternative energy sources, such as algae. Carefully read the story of how we, yes we, abandoned alternative sources of energy and played our fiddles while the oil burned up our economy. Ooops! Now we bemoan the fact. On the positive side, one thing is different now, and that is the ability of people, including scientists, to get their message across without the help of traditional media. Journalists and their bosses failed miserably to report on these issues, so greedy people who only look out for themselves were able to bring us, as a nation, to our knees with the high price of energy and the destruction of our economy.

POPScarbon stupid statement I thought this was the point. To create renewable energy. As for sending jobs overseas, they already are overseas.

POPSFight Against Mountaintop Removal Update A common sense statement from the article below: "If we don't start building a clean energy economy and diversifying jobs in West Virginia, what will our children do for jobs in 20 years when the coal runs out?" asks Coal River Mountain Watch organizer Lorelei Scarbro. "If we can save this mountain then we can begin developing sustainable jobs and renewable energy, and we can maybe have an impact on the climate crisis that faces us all."

POPSPrisons Taking Work From Private Sector: Current Employees Laid Off 
at an Otisville, N.Y. prison are continuing their jobs: producing solar panels The insanity continues: “green jobs” are turning into “orange jumpsuit” jobs. Unfortunately, most Americans remain unaware of the Federal Prison Industries’ (FPI) exploits. FPI employs cheap prison labor " compensating inmates at wages of between 23 cents and $1.15 an hour " to assemble products purchased by federal agencies under a mandatory source arrangement. Mandatory source status means if a federal agency needs to purchase a product offered by FPI, the agency must buy it from FPI, even if the price is higher, the quality lower or the delivery longer than that of commercial products FPI has used its competitive advantage for years to expand its business into such industries as furniture, vehicular components and textiles. Just recently we learned Traverse Bay Manufacturing Inc. a family-owned textile products business in northern Michigan, also is losing business to federal prisoners

POPSMartha's Vineyard rich liberals: "No wind turbines, they spoil my ocean view" The hypocrisy of the wealthy celebrity warmists whose lifestyle makes a daily carbon footprint as large as one of China’s coal-fired plants is astounding. They reject a wind farm in Nantucket bay because it will spoil their view. I could care less that Al Gore has made a bigger mess of the environment with his nine concerts than years of single toilet paper use by the entire population could compensate for. I am tired of hearing that it’s my responsibility to reduce this myth of global warming. I’m tired of being told I’m “addicted to oil,” when the country’s entire infrastructure is built on the automobile. These people are idiots. I'd like to throw them all into Nantucket Bay where they'll be Aquaman's problem instead.

POPSStoring Wind Power as Ice? Air conditioning in the summer consumes the lion’s share of a building’s energy cost. Calmac Booth is manufacturing a hybrid cooling system. This system exploits an ice bank thermal energy storage tank known as IceBank. IceBank makes and stores ice for use in air conditioning systems when the wind is blowing a bit faster or the sun isn’t shining, that is, at night.

POPSSun Powered Tree-Top Classrooms More from the article below: "The BREEAM “Excellent”-rated project focuses on recycled and low-impact architecture and design. While the heating and cooling systems run on a ground-source heat pump, rainwater is also harvested to reduce potable water use. Moreover, each pod is equipped with a set of solar panels that provide the necessary energy for illumination."

POPSKite Wind Generator More from the article below: "The technology costs a modest US$750,000 and takes up a limited amount of space but even with a diameter of just 100 meters, they estimate KiteGen can produce half a GW of energy, and produce energy at a cost of US$2.5 per GW. Its creators, Sequoia Automation, say a 2,000 meter-version would generate 5GW of power."

POPSAmplify’d from www.ngpowereu.com Samso: The energy self-sufficient island The project also creates new jobs as the island's plumbers and carpenters have now all become experts in energy-saving home conversion and insulation techniques, and even get the opportunity to carry out installations in mainland Europe and the US. Being a skilled worker from the world's only "Renewable Energy Island" is proving to be quite a USP.

POPSAlternative Energy Sources – Energy Problem Settlement The recent energy problems that are happening everyday in the world make us rethink the manner in which energy is used and saved. The effort conducted at conserving this resource makes people to reevaluate their choices on consumption. The truth is there is really not that much energy to waste and current natural energy sources today can not be renewable.

POPSIntro to Carbon Sequestration (8:29) wonderful music in the background :) from US Department of Energy! how and why carbon sequestration... 3 pillars of climate change initiative: 1) Energy Efficiency 2) Renewable Energy 3) Carbon Sequestration these 3 are key to reducing emissions holding them flat in 2050. CCS = a broad term to describe technologies to capturing and storing in biologic materials like trees or in deep underground biologic formations like oilfield and deep saltwater biological formations. GEOLOGIC STORAGE
