EXXONMOBIL’S NEW BATTERY FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE APPLICATIONS
December 1st, 2007“I don’t know. I see things like the ‘sustainable’ WalMart and the FedEx hub covered with solar panels and I have to wonder if this Peak Oil thing is actually going to be the kill shot that we think it’s going to be… Maybe They have a much better grip on this thing than we […]
So, What Was “It”? If Anything…
December 1st, 2007Well, I’m waiting to hear about the Mr. Fusion, or whatever the hell Gore and the Gang were supposed to see in London tonight. So far, there’s no mention of any new energy system being unveiled.
Forget the Green Technology – The Hot Money Is in Guns
December 1st, 2007Naomi Klein gets close, but misses the mark. For those of us who understand clean, green fascism, it’s not a question of clean energy technology OR armaments and surveillance; it’s both. You won’t have viable clean technology without a total, fascist lockdown. I’ve said it from the beginning, and I’m saying it now. The technology […]
Explosion on Strategic Canadian Pipelines that Supply 1.5 Million Barrels of Oil Per Day to U.S.
November 29th, 2007Awaiting damage assessment… Readers in the Midwestern U.S. should keep an eye on this. I’m assuming that the government can dip into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, but… With winter kicking in, take no chances. UPDATE 1: DO NOT ASSUME SPR AVAILABILITY FOR THIS: Landlocked inland refiners such as Flint Hills Resources’ 280,000 barrels per day […]
Billionaires, Global Elite Will Gather in London for Unveiling of Clean Energy System
November 29th, 2007Oh man, I couldn’t make it up if I tried. Via: Independent: A discovery that could give the world access to vast quantities of energy with minimal damage to the climate will be shown off for the first time at a glittering gathering of the famous, rich and influential next Friday night. Al Gore is […]
Google: The Cornerstone of Clean, Green Fascism
November 28th, 2007So few people can see the big picture with regard to clean, green fascism. I’m going to make it painfully clear and simple with the juxtaposition of two of today’s stories about Google. Story #1) Google Hopes to Undercut Coal with Cheap, Renewable Energy: By now, everyone is familiar with Google’s corporate motto, “Don’t be […]
CLUB OF ROME PLAN FOR EUROPEAN, MIDDLE EASTERN AND NORTH AFRICAN ENERGY NETWORK: TRANS-MEDITERRANEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY COOPERATION (TREC)
November 25th, 2007Of all the hate-to-say-I-told-you-sos on Cryptogon, this one probably takes the cake… They—the elite, the people who run the world—have a Plan. And anyone who’s trying to convince you that the world is ending because we’re running out of energy is either ignorant of basic, observable, physical phenomena, or they’re in on the scam. It’s […]

Chart: The Cost of the War in Iraq vs. Spending on Solar Energy Research
November 10th, 2007In The Power Crisis Mythology, the 40% Efficient Solar Cell and the Cost of the War in Iraq, I wrote: Spectrolab, Inc., a subsidiary of Boeing, has developed a solar cell technology that has a conversion efficiency of 40.7%. They accomplished this with a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory. […]
Wave Power Attracts Investors
November 10th, 2007BIG investors. And it’s fascinating, the shit-for-brains level of context that Business Week manages here: “…if wave power becomes commercially viable.” A far more fascinating question is why and how it didn’t become viable over forty years ago?! Who died, and who made a killing? Think of it another way: The U.S. landed guys on […]
