POPSJapan Plans Solar Station in Space The next step, expected around 2020, would be to launch and test a large flexible photovoltaic structure with 10 megawatt power capacity, to be followed by a 250 megawatt prototype. JAXA says the transmission technology would be safe but concedes it would have to convince the public, which may harbour images of laser beams shooting down from the sky, roasting birds or slicing up aircraft in mid-air.

POPSIt Has The Stench Of Opportunity By reducing the amount of the potent greenhouse gas released into the air, the projects also potentially could turn cow dung into dollars, if a climate bill before Congress becomes law. "Agriculture and agribusiness is what Greeley is all about," Biggi said. "We needed to take that strong traditional economic base and ... merge it with emerging renewable energy and technology." Waste may be the new energy crop in these parts. But elsewhere, communities are looking anew at power sources such as the sun and wind that may exist in their own backyards.

POPSBeing Green Hanging Clean Laundry Out to Dry-Not As Easy as I Thought Little would I have thought that home owner associations would be so snooty and ban hanging laundry. Pre-global warming but still pretty dumb. 35,000 in California alone. Governor Terminator - yo! take note and outlaw, outlawing outdoor laundry hanging! Thanks for Amplifyier Maria Silveira for letting me know.

POPSIf you want to tell a story you have to know the code.
The following clip from an interview Samir Husni did with Bob Guccione Jr. betrays a what I see as a key blind spot in the the contemporary journalistic field of vision - a notion that story telling is somehow a non-technical act. If I had to guess I'd say that this notion is fed by these journalists coming of age in a time when the dominant tools of their trade - the technology that drove their stories for centuries - was fundamentally invisible. This invisibility mislead them into thinking that the art of story telling was somehow a ethereal act of creation - as mysterious and graceful as human existence - something that spewed forth from the muse - natural, organic, and clean. This mistaken assumption makes me think of a recent essay by Douglas Rushkoff in which he writes: <blockquote>Like those failed media renaissances before this one, we remain one step behind the capability actually being offered us. Only an elite"sometimes a new elite, but an elite nonetheless"ga

POPSMichelle Obama to get massive liposuction to reduce her ass size! Others mentioned that the real reason was the cost of retro-fitting 75 toilets in the White House to accommodate her large ass, as it would would cost taxpayers $10 million dollars! Ben Caudwelt, a spokesman for the President's environmental issues committee, re-assured green-minded supporters that all the fat that was to be removed from Obama's ass would be re-cycled into clean burning bio-diesel fuel and would be enough fuel to give the State of Illinois energy independence for almost a year! Al Gore issued his own statement in support of the Obama camp's 'green' effort and promised to talk to his wife Tipper about her helping Tennessee become as energy independent. The United Truckers Union has promised to have all union trucks using the special fuel display the signage....Ass For Gas! Proudly Powered by Michelle Obama!

POPSToo Much Nuance, Projection & Cognitive Dissonance, Not Enough Power 
All of which is a way of saying that nasty George W. Bush is no longer around with all his self-righteous swagger, and that with (as Obama did not fail to note) the first African-American installed in the White House, America is now on the same page with the rest of the world. Much of the speech seemed to be an exercise in what Sigmund Freud called "projection," assuming that others think the way you do. Obama spoke as if the mullahs of Iran, the Kim Jong Il clan of North Korea, Vladimir Putin and his gang of oligarchs, and the rulers of China had the same gripes against the Bush administration as Obama and the liberal Democrats in Congress. Hey, if we just close Gitmo, they'll realize that we're all in sympathy now.................. Unfortunately, it is clear that even in the year 2009 the interests of nations and peoples are not as unanimously shared as Obama proclaimed Wednesday. Our diplomats and those of five other nations are scheduled to meet with an

POPSUnruly To Be Lessoned In Green I am currently stuck ( a problem I am hoping to alleviate before winter) with the now Infamous Unitil Electric company. If you have not heard , they were the one's whose clients were without power for 14 days during last year's ice storm. This company has never spent a dime in emergency planning( no joke) or testing despite an annual raise in rates , until this year. Yet the top 10 on the board are pulling in 6 figure salary's. With company's like this around how can you afford not to go green?
