Maker states that it is cheap to make and each acre of land can produce 100,000 gallons a year and land 1/10 the size of New Mexico, we can create all the oil for USA's transportation needs. Interesting idea. Enjoy. God Bless :)
Here's something we need more of: California utility to spread 'solar power plant' across rooftops .. the idea is there are lots of flat rooftops on warehouses and office buildings the like which could be home to solar panels. SCE plans to build a distributed system of solar panel installations on these kind of rooftops, and the goal over the next five yrs is to have 250 MW of generation capacity.
Um, anyone ever heard of these types of grants before?? Here is the link that I receieved in an email
though I was hoping it would be just an electric vehicle grant, heck maybe I will apply for this thing.
These folks have $10,000,000 in funding apparently waiting for someone to start building.
I believe you need to submit a letter of intent as part of the application process.
This would be a good time to "just take action and just do it". Thinking of how to get started ;)
I've been reading more and more positive reports about cellulosic ethanol. It sounds promising, but this got me to thinking. They are talking about using a fairly energy intensive process to convert cellulose to sugar to alcohol and then shipping that alcohol to burn in cars. Thermodynamically speaking, wouldn't it be way more efficient to just burn your plant material in a power plant and run the cars off of the electricity produced?
Came across this company in Popular Science. They won the Popular Science 2007 top innovation of the year. What makes their solar equipment so innovative is that it can be produced very inexpensively, on a large scale, and installed more easily.
Perhaps this could be the answer to replacing our reliance on coal powered plants; or at least a partial solution? www.nanosolar.com
