The truth at any cost lowers all other costs — curated by former US spy Robert David Steele.
Membranes of graphene – single atom layer carbon “sheets” – have unexpected and rather unusual properties that seem set to enable several new technologies
Scientists predict green energy revolution after incredible new graphene discoveries
The breakthrough raises the prospect of extracting hydrogen fuel from air and burning it as a carbon-free source of energy in a fuel cell to produce electricity and water with no damaging waste products.
‘Miracle’ tech turns water into fuel
…synthetic fuels would be a good interim option, especially if they could be cleanly produced — as Sunfire GmbH has done. The Dresden-based cleantech company has unveiled a rig — the first of its kind — that uses what it calls “Power-to-Liquid” technology to convert H2O and CO2 into liquid hydrocarbons — synthetic petrol, diesel and kerosene
Cooling eats up 15 per cent of the energy used by humans. A huge factor in making the transition out of the carbon era. As this report explains a new technology may change that game fundamentally. This is potentially very good news.
The non carbon energy trend is gathering momentum at a surprising rate, and it is very good news. Here is The New York Times view, which I consider an establishment perspective and all the more surprising for that.
Solar and Wind Energy Start to Win on Price vs. Conventional Fuels
The cost of providing electricity from wind and solar power plants has plummeted over the last five years, so much so that in some markets renewable generation is now cheaper than coal or natural gas.
ALL Power Labs offers biomass gasifiers and power generation systems at multiple levels of assembly and system integration. From “We deliver it turnkey complete“ to”You build it from scratch,” you decide the relative amount of effort vs cost you want to invest towards your finished system.
All Power Pallets and GEKs are covered by a 100% money back guarantee.
Tip of the Hat to Mark Perrodin for this pointer — note open souce and reasonable pricing.
Grid parity in 2016 will result in a very rapid shift in power infrastructure. If you could heat and electrify your house and run your car more cheaply why wouldn't you do it? The market will kill carbon energy faster than government regulation. It is government stimulation, not regulation that is the leverage point.

Fossil fuel follies: Massive subsidies underpin oil, coal exploration
In the last three days I have found four stories making the specious argument that we must continue to support carbon energy because it, and only it, will end poverty. I published one of the most glaring examples the other day. The truth however is rather different. Developing nations that are not already in the grip of the carbon energy corporatists are finding they can skip the whole carbon energy business in the same way they skipped the whole copper wire communications era, and went straight to wireless and mobile phones. And, when they make this decision, they discover how quickly they can develop power even in remote areas, as this essay describes.
