<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Ending fossil-fuel subsidies would help climate and economy, U.N. says]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by moe33 http://www.grist.org/article/fuelin/ Wed, 27 Aug 2008 05:59:19 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/fuelin/1 More on Oil Subsidies

Finally, the UN steps up to the plate.  Maybe this leadership thing is catching?

The End Oil Aid webiste (http://oilaid.priceofoil.org/) has an interactive database that gives the stats on how much which companies have received from which governments or institutions.  It's extremely useful.  

Likewise, the Oil Change USA website has a tool for tracking Oil influence in the U.S. government--you can see which representatives accept how much in oil money and from whom--and then how that corresponds to their votes on energy and policy bills.

Definitely check it out.

The electrolysis breakthroughs are multiplying.

In the last month it was:  Easily dissociating H from O in water with low cost catalysts.  Then, using photosynthetic process to do the same.

Now, it's actually using basic sunlight in a hydrogen generator cell:

Some scientists in Germany say they've found an easier way to break water down into hydrogen and oxygen, possibly opening the way for solar-powered hydrogen production.

an entire photoelectrochemical cell that "produces pure hydrogen and oxygen from water and sunlight".
