...Early Sunday morning and the AWOL mainstream media has missed the proverbial boat on the latest Executive Order signed Friday by President Barack Hussein Obama. Executive Order “National Defense Resources Preparedness”, in effect nationalizes all the energy, food and water currently existing on American soil. The EO is cunningly covered under the auspices of Peace Time Martial Law at the discretion of one man. Although now posted on the Drudge Report, at the time of this writing, only scant reportage on the Web about the signing away of liberty and individual rights.

Methane is a greenhouse gas more than 100 times more effective than carbon dioxide in the short term. It is stored in the form of clathrates which are unstable if pressure is lower or temperature is higher than a line on a pressure versus temperature graph. Figure 1 shows that the slope of the atmospheric concentration has sharply increased since 2007. Previous high levels of methane were associated with the Permian mass extinction, 250 million years ago.

" Openly licensing allows others to replicate, reuse, adapt, improve, adopt, bring to scale, write about, talk about, remix, translate, digitize, redistribute and build upon what we have done." Open Source Ecology is accelerating the growth of the next economy - the Open Source Economy - an economy that optimizes both production and distribution - while promoting environmental regeneration and social justice. We are building the Global Village Construction Set . This is a high-performance, modular, do-it-yourself, low-cost platform - that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 different industrial machines that it takes - to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts.
Photobioreactor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A photobioreactor (sometimes abbreviated PBR) is a bioreactor that incorporates some type of light source to provide photonic energy input into the reactor. Also, an open pond could be seen as photobioreactor, but mostly the term photobioreactor only refers to closed systems, systems closed to the environment having no direct exchange of gases and contaminants with the environment [ 1 ] . Nowadays, some extremophilic organisms (organisms that can grow under extreme conditions) are grown into open ponds. However, many other microalgae are promising for the production of an enormous variety of compounds [ 2 ] . To cultivate also these algae and their products, monocultures have to be maintained and for that, enclosed photobioreactors have to be used. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] . A photobioreactor can be described as an enclosed, [ 5 ] illuminated culture vessel designed for controlled biomass production of phototrophic liquid cell suspension cultures.The World Bank's BioCarbon Fund (BioCF) has released a report detailing its experience supporting afforestation/reforestation (A/R) offset projects under the CDM since 2004. The BioCF functions as the primary World Bank vehicle for funding A/R projects under the CDM, with approximately 80% of its resources going to support 21 such projects. The report makes 4 overall recommendations for the CDM and stakeholders: The CDM project validation and verification process is notoriously complex, and this applies equally to A/R projects as it does to other project types.
