Congress Still Hates Biofuel (For the Military)
June 20th, 2012 | by Charis Michelsen
The U.S. military is – perhaps unsurprisingly – one of the driving forces behind alternative fuel sources; after all, not being dependent on potentially hostile foreign countries for vital fuel is a matter of national security. However, in the short term, said alternative fuels are more expensive than standard fossil fuels, and that creates a few problems.

The EV Black Knight Rides Again: John Petersen on Mortal Enemies
June 11th, 2012 | by Breath on the Wind
In commerce, a black knight is someone who makes an unwelcome takeover bid. John Petersen is not an EV supporter. Rather, his disclosure exudes a contempt for the EV that is pervasive throughout his work, while he admits to previous commitment to lead-acid batteries and a present ownership in Axion Power. A recent article throws down the gauntlet as he tries to take over the EV conversation: the Black Knight rides again.

Perspectives on the Geothermal Energy Association Showcase in DC
May 29th, 2012 | by Breath on the Wind
The fourth annual GEA International Geothermal Energy Showcase concluded Wednesday, May 23, in Washington DC. The conference featured countries and projects in 6 different regions of the world: Asia and the Pacific, Europe, Turkey, Latin America, the Caribbean, and East Africa. Presentations by corporate and country leaders, for many of the projects, were very similar, but a few had unique challenges. Ultimately, what started out with policy, charts, and graphs ended up with a human face and concerns in Nevis and East Africa. The showcase was well-organized, resulting in a virtually flawless program.

Understanding Wind Turbines and Heating/Cooling: “Eureka!”
May 2nd, 2012 | by Breath on the Wind
Are wind turbines that produce electricity "bad" and contributing to global warming or is it all just hot air? (Hint: the answer has something to do with the air, but not the global climate.) Our world is warming. Just a little, but it is enough to cause considerable and catastrophic climate changes. We know that for anything to warm there must be a source of energy. Wind turbines produce electricity. That is energy. Couldn't that be a source? Archimedes solved one problem by jumping out of a bath and running through the streets naked, exclaiming "Eureka!" ("I have found it" in ancient Greek). We can also understand the wind turbine effect by thinking of being naked in a bath.
