POPSOrganic Waste Ethanol Cellulosic ethanol is an exciting technology which promises to convert the abundant sources of organic waste worldwide (kitchen waste, yard waste, paper industry waste, etc.) into green alternative fuel. Unlike traditional ethanol, it won't use food crops or raise food prices. In addition, environmental impact studies have indicated that while traditional ethanol releases more greenhouse gases than burning fossil fuels, cellulosic ethanol could reduce emissions

POPSRobots to EAT DEAD BODIES??? It sounds like something out of a nightmare, but may be part of the future: Robots that eat all organic material as e.g. dead bodies in a war zone. (I wonder how they can tell that people, etc. really are dead ....)

POPSUpcoming Military Robot Could Feed on Dead Bodies This is the Elites perfect Soldier, the terminator films don't look so far fetched now do they? We already have drones flying in various warzones current and future. Imagine being pursued by by an enemy that never rests, has no mercy and leaves no trace of you when it is finished. Perhaps it is time to brush up on your knowledge of electro-magnetic pulse technology.

POPSWar On You: Breaking Alternative News I agree with Ms Martens assessment. The middle class is the engine of our economy and the rich supplies the ‘fuel’ to keep it going. What we need in addition to Ms Martens suggestions is an incentive for companies to hire more people and pay a higher wage instead of allowing them to stash their earnings in foreign banks to avoid taxes. Likewise, if the rich had an incentive to work with the government to help the poor and disadvantaged there would not be such a overwhelming burden on the government to do it by itself. The benefit of living in a capitalist economy is that people can become rich. I would not disparage anyone from using this system to better themselves and their families unless they do it illegally or unethically. Ethics unfortunately is the one aspect of this system that is the most perplexing. Which is why we need regulation.

POPSLet's get real about alternative energy The public discussion of energy options tends to be emotional, polarized, mistrustful and destructive. I hope that focusing attention on the numbers may make it possible to develop honest and constructive conversations about energy.

POPSMicrobe-powered ‘fart’ machine stores energy A device that can both improve fuel cell technology and entertain 12-year-old boys. That's what I call the modern biathlon. All in all a very ingenious and creative way to use micro organisms for our benefit.

POPSFlower turns animal waste into fuel continues: Duckweed, they discovered, has an appetite for animal waste, quickly converting it to leafy starch that can then be converted into ethanol. The current source for most U.S. ethanol is industrial-scale corn farming, which requires large amounts of toxic pesticides and dead zone-feeding, fuel-intensive fertilizers. When the costs are added up, corn-based ethanol may prove little cleaner than gasoline. Duckweed could help solve both problems at once. "We did small-scale tests in the laboratory to convert duckweed starch to ethanol using the same technologies as the fuel industry currently uses in corn," said Cheng. "With the same technology, we can easily convert it."

POPSCongress, Laws, and Unintended Consequences First - good for the paper companies. Congress writes the law and give away our tax money - they found a way to use it. Even though the thrust of this article is some ecoWeenie whining about it. But doesn't this give you complete confidence that the crap these Congrescritters have already whooped through without even reading it? Trillions in our money being thrown away to who knows what kind of activities.

POPSBangladesh, and others, moved to Compressed Natural Gas over Oil.
CNG programs work well in countries with abundant natural gas reserves like Bangladesh. Italy started using CNG in the 1930s and was the first country to put a viable program in place. Other countries now using CNG successfully include India, Pakistan, Iran, Argentina, and Brazil. CNG has been around in Bangladesh since 1982. “At that time it wasn’t an issue of environmental concerns,” says Iftikar “Sabu” Hussain, CEO of CNG Distribution Company. Compressed natural gas was initially introduced as a domestic fuel alternative to expensive imports, but did not catch on then because converting to the cheaper fuel involved an expensive engine conversion. The increasing cost of imported petroleum, however, plus a rising concern for the environment made CNG a stronger choice in the early 2000s. CNG began to succeed in Bangladesh at this time because of millions of dollars in loans from international agencies to encourage a long-term program.
