Energy Quest. More on the Energy Catalyzer: Andrea Rossi Says He Has Signed “A Contract of Tremendous Importance” in the USA | Free Energy Times. Andrea Rossi’s Journal of Nuclear Physics website is proving to be an interesting source of information these days. Mr. Rossi doesn’t seem to be reluctant to feed little snippets of information about his plans and activities.

An interesting piece of information was posted on April 7th. “Today I am in the USA factory of Leonardo Corporation where I signed a contract of tremendous importance. Later on, in the same thread he state simply, “Yesterday we signed a very important contract in the USA.” Leonardo Corporation is Rossi’s own company and they have a factory in Florida where the E-cats are being built. Update Since the above post there has been additional discussion on Rossi’s site regarding the discussion in the same thread. Q: Are you able to tell us any more regarding the nature of the contract you mentioned was signed in the USA yesterday? Rossi: The Customer of us is a kind of Customer you need to have a written authorization of to talk about him. Wind Power Without the Blades: Big Pics.

Chernobyl 25 Years Later. 25 Years ago Chernobyl was headline news. On April 26th 1986 at 1:23 A.M. reactor number four at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, near the town of Pripyat, ruptured a vessel during several extreme power spikes. Several explosions followed and these caused the graphite moderator components of the reactor to be exposed to air, setting them on fire. The fire sent a plume of radioactive fallout into the atmosphere. It drifted over large parts of the Sovjet Union and Western Europe. 50 People died as a direct result of the disaster and it is thought up to 4000 people have died as a result of being exposed to the radioactive materials which entered the atmosphere. Over 350.000 were evacuated from contaminated areas around Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. 101. 202. 303. 404. 505. 606. 707. 808. 909. 1010. 1111. 1212. 1313. 1414. 1515. 1616. 1717. 1818. 1919. 2020. 2121. 2222. 2323. 2424. 2525. 2626. 2727. 2828. 2929. 3030. 3131. 3232. 3333. 3434. 3535. 3636. 3737. 3838. 3939. 4040. 4141. 4242.

Alternative Energy News. Energy Tribune- Ethanol Insanity. Obama’s Alcohol Problem Barack Obama doesn’t want to talk about corn ethanol. And it’s no wonder. In early August, his campaign Web site purged several sections of his energy plan that talked about corn ethanol. Before the purge, Obama was touting corn ethanol as a pivotal element in his push for “energy independence.” His site declared that Obama “will require 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels to be included in the fuel supply by 2022 and will increase that to at least 60 billion gallons of advanced biofuels like cellulosic ethanol by 2030.” Sen. In his statement of August 7 denying the Texas request, E.P.A. administrator Stephen L. O In March 2008, a report commissioned by the Coalition for Balanced Food and Fuel Policy a coalition based in Washington, D.C. of eight meat, dairy, and egg producers’ associations, estimated the total cost of the U.S. biofuels mandates at some $32.8 billion this year, or about $108 for every American citizen.

Hidden in Plain View During WW II Lockheed (unbelievable 1940s pictures). This is a version of special effects during the 1940's. I have never seen these pictures or knew that we had gone this far to protect ourselves. During World War II the Army Corps of Engineers needed to hide the Lockheed Burbank Aircraft Plant to protect it from a possible Japanese air attack. They covered it with camouflage netting to make it look like a rural subdivision from the air.

Before... After.. The person I received this from said she got back an interesting story about someone's mother who worked at Lockheed, and she as a younger child, remembers all this. Another person who lived in the area talked about as being a boy, watching it all be set up like a movie studio production. Note.... I am 85 and had much of my pilot training in Calif. Hiding the Lockheed Plant during World War II - wow this is amazing!

It seems that researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the most prestigious science and engineering schools in the United States, has created a new energy source -- and it's clean and renewable. The odd thing is that the only way you can see this energy source is with a very powerful microscope, because it is created by using nanotechnology. For a few years now, we have been hearing about the possibilities offered by the new field of nanotechnology. Now it looks like the first usable breakthrough has been accomplished. MIT has devised a process to generate electricity using nanotechnology. And this new process may soon revolutionize batteries for all kind of devices.

The researchers built tiny wires out of carbon nanotubes. The nanotechnology batteries will have a couple of other advantages over current batteries. Second, these batteries are non-toxic since they are made of carbon. Link to original post. Energías Renovables, el periodismo de las energías limpias. Jevons' Paradox and the Perils of Efficient Energy Use. It's a given among Peak Oilers and New Urbanists alike that the imminent and permanent return of high oil prices will send convulsions through the suburban American landscape.

But it's one thing when professional Jeremiahs like James Howard Kunstler preach this to the converted week after week, and something else when the Urban Land Institute and PricewaterhouseCoopers advise commercial real estate investors to "shy away from fringe places in the exurbs and places with long car commutes or where getting a quart of milk takes a 15-minute drive. " Oil shocks will do what urban planners can't seem to and the government won't (through sharply higher gas taxes or putting a price on carbon): force people to live at greater densities. How else to explain the hostility directed at Amory Lovins by Kunstler and others? Why unhelpful? In a phrase: Jevons' Paradox. Nearly a century before the geologist M.

Peak oil's big crunch "isn't creative destruction," he said. Nuclear Power Is a Faustian Bargain. Wind Map. An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US. The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company. We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software.

Please do not use the map or its data to fly a plane, sail a boat, or fight wildfires :-) If the map is missing or seems slow, we recommend the latest Chrome browser.

Oil. Pescaron una tararira con tres ojos en las cercanías de la central nuclear de Embalse. Cinco pescadores se sorprendieron este fin de semana cuando lograron la captura de una tararira con tres ojos en un lugar muy conocido del lago de Embalse llamado “Chorro de Agua Caliente” en la provincia de Córdoba. El hallazgo de los chicos de General Cabrera no sólo despertó curiosidad sino también cierta preocupación sobre la causa de la malformación ya que el ejemplar fue encontrado cerca de la central nuclear de Embalse. Julián Zmutt, uno de los pescadores, relató a Cadena 3: “Estábamos pescando y nos llevamos la sorpresa de sacar este ejemplar, muy raro.

Como era de noche no nos dimos cuenta en el momento. Después uno con una linterna lo miró y se dio cuenta que era un ojo y nos llamó. En cuanto al tercer ojo aseguró que es de “igual tamaño y un poquito más hundido que los otros”. “Hace muchos años que vamos a pescar ahí y es la primera vez que nos pasó”, dijo. Calling All Oil Sheiks: Here's the $160 Million Floating Island of Your Dreams. Wally--a company that makes stunning modern yachts--and the French fashion house Hermes have teamed up to design a new boat: The appropriately named WHY, a full-blown solar-powered island.

Just unveiled at the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show (of course), the WHY is 190 feet long and a whopping 125 feet wide--making it a dream for any billionaire who can't find enough space off land for his phalanx of Cristal-swigging bikini babes. In all, the boat has the square footage of a mansion--some 34,000 square feet. As Wally's president, Luca Bassani Antivari, explained it to The Guardian: Everybody's dream is to live on an island, in complete freedom, without constraint, with the independence that only self sufficiency can provide.

Right you are! The boat is meant to cater to 12 guests, with "master space", "guest space" and "common space. " [The Guardian via Space Invading] Wind Power Without the Blades: Big Pics.

This area was included in the USGS report, “An Estimate of Undiscovered Conventional Oil and Gas Resources of the World, 2012.” Photograph by Chris Schenk, U.S. Geological Survey. The U.S. Geological Survey released today a new global estimate for conventional oil and gas resources. All of these numbers represent technically recoverable resources, which are those quantities of oil and gas producible using currently available technology and industry practices, regardless of economic or accessibility considerations.

“In the twelve years since the last assessment, the steady progress in technology now allows additional resources to be regarded as technically recoverable,” said USGS Director Marcia McNutt.

Three-eyed Fish Raises Nuke Fears. ¡Ay, caramba! A three-eyed fish was caught in a reservoir in Argentina, reported Cadena 3, an Argentine news service.

The fishing hole where the mutant fish was caught may be more of a fission hole. The reservoir, named “Chorro de Agua Caliente,” receives water from a nuclear plant in the province of Córdoba. "Simpsons" fans will remember the same thing happened in Springfield. Bart caught Blinky, a three-eyed fish, in the pond fed by Monty Burn's nuclear power plant in the episode “Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish,” from the second season of the hit series. SCIENCE CHANNEL VIDEO: Unlikely Predator and a Third Eye Lizard Five Argentine fishermen's "woo-hoos" turned to "d'ohs" when the wolf fish (Hoplias malabaricus) they pulled into their boat looked back at them with three eyes. “Because it was night, we didn't realize it in the moment,” Julián Zmutt told Cadena 3.

After checking the fish out by lantern light, one of the fishermen noted the bizarre mutation. Energie. Energy.
