NASA Senior Research Scientist on Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (Cold Fusion): “It has the demonstrated ability to produce excess amounts of energy, cleanly, without hazardous ionizing radiation, without producing nasty waste.”
January 13th, 2012Via: PESN: Dr. Zawodny: “It has the demonstrated ability to produce excess amounts of energy, cleanly, without hazardous ionizing radiation, without producing nasty waste.” Narrator: “This clean form of energy is also power, able to support everything from transportation systems to infrastructure.” Dr. Zawodny: “The easiest implementation of this would be for the home. You […]
Over Half of Germany’s Renewable Energy Owned By Citizens & Farmers, Not Utility Companies
January 10th, 2012Via: Treehugger: Germany’s promotion of renewable energy rightly gets singled out for its effectiveness, most often by me as an example of how to do things well versus the fits and starts method of promotion common in the US. Over at Wind-Works, Paul Gipe points out another interesting facet of the German renewable energy saga: […]
