Solar Electric Generator Produces Abundant Hydrogen

As you read this, I am in the midst of Justin Sutton’s second visit of 2007 to Central Florida. Working with this man is a joy. The more he tells people about the Interstate Traveler, the greater the excitement. He now has cities, states and nations lined up around the globe awaiting construction in their area.

So, what aspect evokes the greatest number of smiles? What really trips the most triggers when groups hear about the Hydrogen Superhighway? Until recently, I had trouble tracking it. A wholly unscientific tally of responses both verbal and otherwise seemed to point to a recurring rhetorical question: “How fast can you build the system worldwide?”

Broad Economic Impact by Using Solar Energy for Hydrogen Superhighway

OK, so I have made the bold statement that it is, in fact, quite simple to build a solar panel large enough to produce hydrogen cleanly. Can I back it up? Fortunately, I don’t have to. Justin Sutton is the genius. All I have to do is give you a quick snapshot of the concept. Trust me. When I’m done, you will see that Justin derives a broad economic impact by using solar energy.

Why Are Gas Prices So High? Ruptured Pipelines Don’t Help But the Interstate Traveler Can

Dateline, Clearbrook, Minnesota

A ruptured pipeline which carries more than a million barrels of crude oil from Saskatchewan to the Chicago area caught fire while under repair last month. The result was sadly predictable: boom! I don’t wish to seem glib, especially since several people died, but can’t we come to grips with the root cause? Ruptured pipelines point to a fatally flawed, antiquated technology.

Google Shows Ways For Business to Go Green and Reverse Global Warming

My wife Catrin and I have lived carbon-neutral since 2004. This means that we produce no more carbon than we would have had we lived 200 years ago. We achieve this important lifestyle choice through three key steps: reducing, reusing and recycling. We live as green a life as we can manage. While we are not perfect, our lifestyle is greener than average.

Is Al Gore Telling The True Story On Global Warming? Current TV Sure Is

When Joel Hyatt and former Vice President of the United States Al Gore helped create a new grassroots television network called Current TV, I didn’t quite grasp the potential.

Shame on me!

I hadn’t really paid attention to YouTube up until that point (this was before Google acquired that amazing website) so the underlying premise that amateur video could be sufficiently plentiful in order to use it as the sole source for an entire network seemed excessive.

I was wrong! Fortunately, the folks at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences caught the vision and gave Current TV founders an Emmy Award just 2 years later.

NASA Pictures Of Polar Ice Caps Melting Will Give You Shivers

NASA’s mission was changed a while back to eliminate atmospheric science as a core priority. Fortunately, the Science Mission Directorate continues its excellent work. It just issued a damning report with hard proof of the climate crisis, including pictures of polar ice caps melting.

The most compelling aspect of the report, though, is the graph of Greenland pictured above. It details “the Greenland melt anomaly, measured as the difference between the number of days on which melting occurred in 2007 compared to the average annual melting days from 1988-2006. The areas with the highest amounts of additional melt days appear in red, and areas with below-average melt days appear in blue.”

Al Gore And Green Living Elevated By Monumental Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech

I had awaited the moment since I first heard that former Vice President Al Gore was on the short list for the Nobel Peace Prize. Now, he won it in partnership with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and just gave the global warming speech of his life (again!).

On Monday, December 10, 2007, Al Gore and green living were elevated by his words. In the photo above, Mr. Gore is flanked by Rajendra Pachauri, the U.N. climate panel’s chief scientist whom I’ve had the privilege to meet. Together, they form a powerful duo with a zeal for saving humanity from its own myopia.

My Essay About Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech

My high school honors English teacher likely would tell me that I have stretched the definition of the word essay with this post but I can’t help myself. Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, which he delivered in person in Norway on December 10, summarizes the latest news about the global climate crisis in a way I only hope to reproduce.

To quote him, “We must act.”

As a continuation, then, of my previous thread, below please find a few more key excerpts from Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. He does the hard part, of course, but I add context to help the segues since I only provide excerpts. Here it is, then, my essay about Al Gore on this most glorious and hopeful occasion.

Former Vice President of the United States, Al Gore, December 10, 2007:

Alfred Nobel, the Man Who Invented the Nobel Peace Prize, Smiles Down from Heaven on Al Gore

For the last 2 posts, I have covered Al Gore’s acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize. Since American politicians win this prestigious gem from time to time but not so often that most of my countrymen would know all of the trivia, I thought this a good moment to pause and answer the question, “Who invented the Nobel Peace Prize?”.

The Story of Stuff Explains the True Source of Pollution

To quote Karen Carpenter, "Christmas cards have all been sent. The Christmas rush is through."

This holiday season, how many presents did you buy, either for family and friends or yourself? It's a rhetorical question but a very important one. Here's the related query: how much pollution did you generate in the holiday shopping season versus the rest of the year?

I ask because on the course toward sustainable and green living, it is important to understand exactly how much pollution is generated in the production of all goods and services. Without this knowledge, it is very difficult to measure your carbon footprint (your impact on the planet).

The Best Global Warming Video I've Seen in Months

Last time, I introduced you to The Story Of Stuff, the best global warming video I've seen in months. As good as it is, this 21-minute gem is about much more. It tells us pretty much EVERYTHING wrong with our current industrial model and helps consumers understand the full sphere of environmental ramifications from our unsustainable ways.

In order to help capsulize Annie Leonard's many valid and urgent points, here are the top issues she raises in her magnificent work and what we should do about them.

The URL for the video once again is:

1) We are running on borrowed time. Every year, the industrialized world presses further and harder into pristine areas in order to obtain an ever-shrinking number of natural resources. This is the exact opposite of sustainability. Global warming is a mere byproduct.

Simple Living Among Ways to Stop Global Warming

Not once during my years in school was I happy about taking a pop quiz. Hence, I won't burden you with one here. Nevertheless, I must ask if you watched The Story Of Stuff and absorbed its many important messages.

So, are you part of the golden arrow?

Last time, I gave you 3 key points from this exemplary and instructive 21-minute video. I have 2 more for you. They point to the need for a return to simple living. We can turn the tide on global warming. Simple living constitutes a key behavioral change and one of the best ways to stop global warming.

Now, on with the show:

Regifting, Cash Cell Phone Recycling and Electronic Waste Solutions Can Lead to New Ways to Stop Global Warming

One of the most underreported news stories of 2007 regarded the immense heaps of electronic waste which the western world (especially the United States) exports to countries with lax environmental laws and/or enforcement for "disposal". There are dumping firms in China and elsewhere which are more than happy to take our discarded cell phones, computers, MP3 players and television sets to be strewn along the countryside with little or no regard to people or wildlife. Of course, when they operate, such devices consume large amounts of electricity so we also must seek ways to stop global warming which allow us the amenities of modern electronic equipment.
