WASH, RINSE, and REPEAT
With the recent rash of pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia, hi-tech entrepreneurs are coming to the rescue.  Most people figure pirates probably don’t bathe often, at least often enough, so here’s one solution that kills two birds with one stone:  The instant wash, but with no rinse cycle: This solution [...]

Whatever happened to “small government”.  Isn’t that a Republican trademark?  Now, thanks to our tax dollars, we (and I mean everyone in this country that pays taxes), own 79% of AIG, paying $85-billion, and of course manage Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as well.  And how did you feel about paying out $24 million to [...]

Coal power plants, by utilizing the same turbines used by coal to generate electricity,  can utilize solar to produce 15%-60% of the electricity. Mirrors, called fresnal reflectors capture the sun’s rays and heat water in a large tube. Steam lines deliver the solar energy to the adjacent coal power plant to turn the turbines.

A recent article by CNN suggests that Big OIl is at it again, spending huge amounts of money to make sure their record breaking profits stay in tact.  In what may be surprising to some, the most recent figures from the Center for Responsive Politics show that the oil industry gives a relatively small sum to [...]

To me, the presidential race reached a turning point last week when John McCain opted for a campaign of denigration employing racial stereotypes, sexualized talking points for surrogates (Obama as “internet date”) and copious ridicule. It’s made the curve that much of the media still uses to grade McCain’s more obvious shortcomings all the more [...]

I love it when someone with celeb status (meaning they get media attention more than anything), does something beneficial for our country. Right on Paris. But lets look a little deeper into this phenomena. What Paris gave as an “energy policy” seems intuitively obvious. In fact, it’s probably nothing that [...]

Oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp. plans to sell its company-owned gas stations, saying they aren’t profitable enough even with gasoline selling at $4 per gallon.
The 2,220 stations make up about 1/5 of the Exxon and Mobil stations in the United States. The nation’s largest oil company, which earned nearly $41 billion last year, says [...]

Meet the good ship “Emma Maers”, registered to the country of China.
So this is how Wal-Mart gets most of it’s stuff from China ; 15,000 containers and a 207′ beam, and 13 people for a ship longer than a US aircraft carrier which has a crew of 5,000 men and officers. Check out [...]
