What I Did Today

I went outside and looked at the wind blowing clouds across the sky.  I thought about all the solar power driving the winds, and how good it felt to have a warm day with a nice breeze.  It would have been a good day for sailing, if I were near the lake, but I wasn’t […]

The Church of the Environment

Charles Krauthammer has a good article today about how the Do As I Say environmental elitists are reviving socialism. Here’s part of it.

Various Energy Alternatives

Go Green BBQ Grill!!!

Charcoal can be messy stuff… luckily for us dynamic design duo, Mike and Maaike, have tackled this process with their new Baja BBQ Firepack for Design Annex/Lazzari. The design of the packaging as a recycled, functional aspect of the process is just genius.

environmentally friendly bombs created

In line with the new surge of environmentally friendly products, scientists in Germany have now created environmentally friendly bombs. The new bombs are designed from tetrazoles which derive their energy from nitrogen rather than carbon like most other bombs. The new bombs are more powerful than TNT, create less toxic by-product, and are less apt […]
