“We completely understand the public’s concern about futuristic robots feeding on the human population, but that is not our mission,” stated Harry Schoell, Cyclone’s CEO.
The basic idea is that this is (among other things) a battlefield robot that runs on biomass it harvests on the battlefield. I can’t imagine why anyone thought this thing might turn to corpse eating. I guess, in a way, robot cannibals are a green technology. Maybe Cyclone can merge with Skynet.
Gar Lipow, a long time environmental activist and journalist with a strong technical background has spent years immersed in the subject of efficiency and renewable energy. He has written extensively on the economics of solving the global warming, and why pricing externalities (though important) cannot be the main driver of such solutions.
His on-line reference book compiling information on technology available today, “No Hair Shirt Solutions to Global Warming”, is available at http://www.nohairshirts.com.
His articles on the economics and politics of solving the climate crisis have been published in Z magazine and a number of small journals.
