There are doomsday scenarios left and right nowadays, some involving nuclear war, some involving a peak in oil production, some involving the economy, and some involving 2012. It seems like we’re working to avert problems caused by rising fuel prices, but I’m not sure we’re doing enough.
It’s like people are going about their daily [...]

New Technology Rocks!
February 27th, 2008 · No Comments
I love it that we’re getting closer and closer to the point where all televisions are super light, super thin, and super awesome. The picture quality has already improved so much with HD, and we’ve already begun to see TV’s only a few inches wide…
I’ll bet in the future an awesome graphic display will [...]

Artificial Intelligence Solves Global Warming
January 25th, 2008 · No Comments
Just think: We’re close to developing AI already. If we could build a machine that was smart enough to build smarter versions of itself, at some point one incarnation would be powerful enough to come up with a sure-thing solution to global warming.
When Google changes its name to SkyNet, maybe we could ask [...]

Nuclear Power Boom
January 7th, 2008 · No Comments
Sure, sounds like a meltdown, but what I really mean is an explosive growth in the nuclear power industry.
I am pretty sure that I heard we’re at the point now where our technology is advanced and safe. So what if we take all that tech and build a new nuclear reactor for every state. [...]

$3.00 Per Gallon For Hydrogen
January 3rd, 2008 · No Comments
I don’t really know how much it will cost, but I recently realized that it won’t be free!
Seriously, how dumb of me to overlook that.
I had been dreaming of getting a car with a super high MPG. Hybrid, pure electric, hydrogen fuel cell?? Ideally I think I’d go for the Hydrogen one. [...]

Global Warming Causes California To “Fall Off”
December 29th, 2007 · No Comments
Today I read on Yahoo that Global Warming will likely change the landscape of California. It will expand the dry areas, and warm old ski resorts.
But what if it makes the ocean rise so much that California becomes submerged? If that happens, the it really will “fall off.”
Maybe all those fears about California [...]

No More Oil Changes
December 28th, 2007 · No Comments
I was thinking about my car and getting the oil changed. I realized that when Big Oil dies, we’ll have to have cars that don’t use oil.
Previously I had acknowledged the fact that we’re slowly moving towards alternate energy sources like hydrogen and electricity. So no more gas. But I hadn’t thought [...]

Once We Run Out Of Gas, That’s It
December 24th, 2007 · No Comments
I read a couple places that we’re close to a peak in oil production that will cause permanent blackouts worldwide.
I had hoped that alternative energy technologies could get around this, but some people say you need non-renewable energy sources in order to create renewable energy sources.
Oil energy can make solar panels. Then, can’t they [...]

If We’re Wrong, Let’s Be The Good Wrong
December 15th, 2007 · No Comments
I recently heard a Presidential candidate (it might have been John McCain) say that if we’re wrong about Global Warming, we’ll develop cleaner technology without really needing it. But if we’re right, and take no action, the world will be in a horrible predicament.
So the point is, if we must be wrong, let’s be [...]

Go Green - A Green Sky
December 12th, 2007 · No Comments
It’s funny how “Go Green” has become the catchphrase of the “Save Our Planet” movement. There’s information about how if we don’t save our planet, the sky will turn green. So either way we’re going green.
Apparently, the CO2 in the atmosphere and a combination of other factors will all contribute to changes that [...]
