Now we have to consider something else, which when you do a comparison on the basis of single technologies, you are doing something wrong because this does not take into account the volatility of prices, especially fuel prices. This is the level of risk you have when you build comparison systems. In fact, It is my belief that when we talk about renewables, we should do so from the perspective of the portfolio theory that is widely used in finance, where you have some assets that have high risk and high return and others that have lower risk and therefore lower returns. Renewables are very low risk.Now we have to consider something else, which when you do a comparison on the basis of... more

Say what you will about climate change – and even at this late date, divergent opinions abound – for those whose livelihood is rooted in the ground and for whom terroir is everything, the debate ended a long time ago. Several wineries around the world are turning to renewables energy and energy efficiency to fight the good fight, while others are rapidly moving in this direction.

A "Suck You" Halloween Message from the Vampires at Rio Tinto/Kennecott Minerals: Suck the Anishinaabe and the Environment.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8DZPyUFiB8
Happy Halloween from your friends at Rio Tinto - Kennecott.
We’re celebrating the holiday by blowing up a frickin rock
The Eagle is sacred you say – we think not.
When money’s at play – the Anishinaabe can rot
To the Indians we say – just go away - suck the tribe
To the elected we say - money’s at play – offer the bribe
Mass murder and what not – that’s how we roll.
The fun of raping Eagle Rock – right in the hole.
We’ve told our kids it’s no fun to camp
It’s more fun as a blood sucking vamp
To us the Upper Peninsula is a place to trash.
At Rio Tinto Kennecott – we’re monsters that mash.
Suck you………
This is ArchAngel: The Environmental Hitman
Evil is as Evil Does
This is ArchAngel: The Environmental Hitman does not encourage or promote violence against the evildoers – but we will expose them….A "Suck You" Halloween Message from the Vampires at Rio Tinto/Kennecott... more

Global energy consumption will increase by 53 percent over the next 25 years to a mind-boggling 225,700 terawatt-hours (770 quadrillion BTUs ) as water- and carbon-intensive fossil fuels continue to dominate the world’s economies, despite the global recession and the strong growth in the renewable sector, according to a new annual report by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
About half of the projected increase in energy use will occur in China and India, the world’s first- and third-largest energy consumers, respectively. The two developing economies will account for more than 30 percent of the global energy use during the next two decades.
“China alone — which only recently became the world’s top energy consumer — is projected to use 68 percent more energy than the United States by 2035,” said Howard Gruenspecht, the administrator for the EIA, in a press release.
In general, however, the overall projections made in the EIA report only reflect laws and policies as they stood at the beginning of 2011. In other words, the report does not incorporate prospective legislation — in China, for example — that, together with oil-price volatility and the pace of global economic recovery, could significantly affect energy markets.
Coal Production and Consumption
China relies on coal for about 70 percent of its energy generation, consuming 3.15 billion metric tons (3.5 billion tons) of coal last year. Meanwhile, India has been steadily increasing domestic coal production, its major source of energy, reaching over 500 million metric tons (551 million tons) in 2010.
Though future generation from renewables, natural gas, and nuclear power will largely displace coal-fired production, coal will remain the largest source of world electricity through 2035, particularly in developing nations, according to the EIA projections. China alone will account for 76 percent of the projected increase in world coal use.

For those who don’t know, I am a Mason. I believe their philosophy of brotherly love to people, charity, and inclusiveness is in alignment with my own beliefs. I think more of that attitude needs to spread across the country. So earlier this week, I travelled with a group of brothers to a meeting at the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts. It was a hot meeting as the Grand Lodge is not air conditioned, yet. Other than dripping through the whole thing, it was quite fascinating.For those who don’t know, I am a Mason.

Within a week, Mother Nature delivered an earthquake and a major hurricane to the northeast section of the United States. We are not sure what side she is fighting on, but she needs to back off a bit. Irene, a hurricane with a girl’s name, packed a punch like a roller derby queen and WHACKO-TV was there to cover the news. From live coverage from elected officials telling us how bad is was going to be, to our French report Jean-Paul out there in the trenches to show us how bad it really was. This one is titled Goodnight Irene.Within a week, Mother Nature delivered an earthquake and a major hurricane to the... more

Solar and wind are excellent, but it's the energy under our feet that has the world talking.
Most experts agree that we'll need more than one form of energy to sustain our booming population in the decades to come. Coal and nuclear energy are on their way out, and as promising as solar, hydro and wind energy are, they suffer from intermittent availability.
One alternative energy possibility that's just now getting worldwide recognition is geothermal: heat from the Earth's core that creates steam which can then be converted into electricity through traditional processes.

Over 80 people have now pledged over $7k to donate the 'Power Families' book series into schools but we've now only 70 hours to go to reach our funding goal of $25k! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1642371480/the-power-families-clean-energy-kids-books-project
The way the kickstarter funding works is that if we don't raise the full amount of $25k then all of the pledged money goes back to the pledgers and the project is cancelled.
With your deep commitment to the environment anything you can do to help us at this 11th hour to reach our funding goal is much appreciated!
This isn't a large investment to make but this important message about how we can sustainably power our world will reach a huge audience of children and teachers in elementary schools.Over 80 people have now pledged over $7k to donate the 'Power Families' book... more

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has entered the solar system's final frontier, a vast, turbulent expanse where the Sun's influence ends and the solar wind crashes into the thin gas between stars. ...... In November 2003, the Voyager team announced it was seeing events unlike any encountered before in the mission's then 26-year history. The team believed the unusual events indicated Voyager 1 was approaching a strange region of space, likely the beginning of this new frontier called the termination shock region. There was controversy at that time over whether Voyager 1 had indeed encountered the termination shock or was just getting close. "The consensus of the team now is that Voyager 1, at 8.7 billion miles from the Sun, has at last entered the heliosheath, the region beyond the termination shock," said Dr. John Richardson from MIT, Principal Investigator of the Voyager plasma science investigation.... http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/submit-an-article/42955-voyager-entersNASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has entered the solar system's final frontier, a... more
