Global Warming Will Yield 12ft Sea Level Rise --New Drill Core Samples Yield Info--12 ft Sea Level Rise is Coming Soon

Inaugural Lectures are very traditional university events, held these days to permit outstanding researchers to present an overview of their work to the wider academic community and public. Last night Prof. Tim Naish delivered a clear and decisive verdict about human-induced climate change: the evidence is unassailable. Held in the very formal surrounds of the Hunter Building Council Chambers, the room was full to what I would guess its capacity of 400-500 people. His presentation wove together… Continue

Is Pennsylvania Missing The Ball On CNG Fuel?

Surge in Natural Gas Has Utah Driving Cheaply According to a recent story in The New York Times people in Utah have embraced their supply of natural gas as a vehicle fuel and are filling up on CNG for as little as .87 a gallon (as of last fall). Where is our state at in relation to this? Pennsylvania is a prime example of states who are missing the ball on CNG. We have huge deposits of natural gas within our borders and in a short time we could have municipal fleets and local/regional t… Continue

Last Chance to See...Smell....Touch

Anderson: On this first day of a new century we humbly beg forgiveness and dedicate these last forests of our once beautiful nation to the hope that they will one day return and grace our foul earth. Until that day may God bless these gardens and the brave men who care for them. Freeman Lowell: It calls back a time when there were flowers all over the Earth... and there were valleys. And there were plains of tall green grass that you could lie down in - you cou… Continue

TechnoSanity #31: A look at Waste Management and landfill gas energy resources

Waste Management and the Linde Group recently announced a project to convert landfill gas to liquified natural gas. Landfill gas is of course a major greenhouse gas concern because its major constituent is methane, which is 30x more potent than CO2. They are using the LNG as fuel in WMI's fleet of garbage trucks. This diverts methane from going into the atmosphere, which prevents burning some natural gas. See:… Continue

The “second peak” for Lake Oberaar supports the hypothesis of pollutant release from melting. Credit: ACS, Bogdal et al. Click to enlarge.

One Gift For The Holidays

When I look at the problems we face today, none can be more vexing that picking the right gifts for the holidays. There is no one more dear to me that the person who has stood by me through thick and thin, in sickness and health, through the good times and the bad, than my mate. Hypothetically, let’s suppose that I am given the choice of spending on her all my allotment of available funds on only one gift or a hundred. It doesn’t matter how much that amount might be, but let’s say for argument t… Continue

The Drive Behind Plug-Ins

With energy and environmental issues atop the national agenda, America may fundamentally change the way it drives. And the utility sector says that it can deliver. At issue is the plug-in hybrid that can run for about 40 miles on electricity before a traditional internal combustion engine fueled by gasoline would kick in. And while the automakers are working hard to meet their expected 2011 deadline to commercialize such vehicles, the utility sector must also fulfill its obligations -- to help… Continue

Letter to DeFazio

Today I noticed my congressman was not a sponsor of the Natural Gas Act, so here is my e-mail to him (Representative DeFazio). As a long time friend of clean energy, I encourage you to become a co-sponsor of HR 1835, the Pickens Plan inspired Natural Gas Act. I know it doesn't solve all our problems, but it does put the right American resource to work on the right job at the right time. Even Pickens thinks this is transitional strategy, but the technology and fuel supply is sitting in a box on… Continue
