Please can you link me with any energy conservation technology company interested in doing business in Nigeria.I am an environmental law solicitor/consultant with a small energy advisory services firm called Power-On Global Enterprises (POGE)currently involve in a pilot conservation advocacy and education for eletric power consumers in my community. I will appreciate whatever assistance you can render in this regards.

Thanks

Yay! Mutations for everybody. I think I’ll survive global warming when that third pseudo arm develops in the womb.

I think a gross measure of overall environmental safety is probably how far the biotechnology departs from naturally evolved organisms, their supporting minerals, and their natural ecosystems.

My reasoning is that nature “tries” many new configurations all the time, so the advantage of using configurations identical or close to those found in nature is that there is more likely to be a co-evolved system to deconstruct or control the technology.

That said, even naturally-occurring substances can become dangerous to life if moved to a new environment or produced in unnatural quantities. (Crude oil, for instance, is natural, but rarely found naturally in our aerobic, surface ecosystem in any great quantity.)

Please provide a “print link”. I’d like to share/discuss topics with my Science students without the margin stuff.

Thanks.

Would like to have read more about HOW it can save the environment and the economy.

Bit of a disappointing post.

I agree whole heartedly with this post. Biotechnology is one of our best hopes for dealing with climate change. As for the risks, this has been applied on a huge scale for more than 10 years and billions of acres (in the case of agricultural biotechnology). I don’t think there has ever been a new technology introduced on such a large scale with so few issues.

I’m glad that WWF is behind this. They are one of the most credible voices in the sustainability conversation today
