  • The 11th Hour / Theo Colborn

    I last spoke with Theo in the parking lot of the local grocery store in our hometown, her former hometown, in Colorado.  She is a courageous person who started late in life trying to make a difference. Good for you Theo!  Don't forget her first book, "Our Stolen Future", with the forward written by Al Gore.On Environmental scientist Theo Colborn warns about the chemicals all around us posted 2 years, 2 months ago 6 Responses

  • 80% reduction in gasoline use nationwide?

    The big potential here is not the jump from 41 mpg to 74 mpg, but rather the fact that 80% of all driving is less than 35 miles per day, within the range of the old electric vehicles of the '90s.  Just combine those batteries with current hybrid technology, and your gasoline engine wouldn't even turn on but maybe once a month, when you drive more than 35 miles that day. Most driving would be powered by the plug in your garage, but you'd have unlimited range via the hybrid engine when you need it. Cars would primarily be recharged at night when there is excess generating capacity. What would an 80% drop in gasoline useage do to the price of gas?Check it out @ pluginamerica.com.

  • "Job" for almost everyone

    I remember futile efforts looking for environmental employment about 10 years ago.  Glad things are changing now, hopefully not too late. For those not able to find that dreamed-of full-time enviro job, here's something that is available to almost everyone: www.solaroneveryroof.com

  • Plug-in hybrids

    Oh how true amzingdrx.  We should do a crash factory conversion program like was done in Ypsilanti Michigan to produce the B-24 Liberator back in WWII. It could be done, with the money saved on the reduced oil consumption eventually funding the whole thing I bet. The older I get the more conspiratorial I become. Combine those plug-in hybrids with solar on every roof [www.solaroneveryroof.com] and you have a true revolution.On Our prez nearly made a slip of the plug posted 2 years, 7 months ago 21 Responses

  • Solar on every roof in Missouri?

    This is great news! Previously Missouri was one of the few states which did not allow net-metering for people who put solar panels on their roofs.  If this goes through, they too will be able to participate with a company that wants to put solar panels on the roofs of all who ask, no investment required.  Check it out at http://www.solaroneveryroof.com/On Everything's Up To Date in Kansas City Power & Light posted 2 years, 8 months ago 1 Response
