NASA is providing Artemis Innovation Management Solutions with seed money to build a satellite that could collect solar energy and beam it back down to Earth. Harvesting solar energy from space has been talked about for a long time, but has been deemed too expensive or the technology just wasn’t there. Now with former NASA [...]
Green energy alone won’t save the earth – social change is also needed
The most popular techno-fix for global warming is green energy. If energy companies would only deploy wind, hydro, solar, geothermal or nuclear, then emission-intensive fossil fuels will eventually disappear. But will that actually work? A new study by Richard York of the University of Oregon shows that it isn’t that simple. Rather than displacing fossil [...]

Solar Thermal Heating Could Eliminate CO2 Emissions from Cement Production
Cement production is the second largest human-caused contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere responsible for five to six percent of all human-caused CO2 emissions. So far, many researchers have concentrated on creating cement that can sequester CO2 to balance out the CO2 its production releases, but now researchers at George Washington University are going to [...]
Anthony Strano: An Homage to Heroes
This blog will neither be about environmental policies, nor political/social issues regarding ecology. This not a watchdog blog to monitor but it is just a blog to say a great thank you, to express gratefulness to the green heroes of our planet, who silently and gallantly do their duty in the world’s forests but more [...]

High polluting Victoria, Australia, hell-bent on increasing greenhouse gas pollution
The State of Victoria, Australia, is the worst polluting state in Australia which in turn is one of the worst countries in the world for annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution. However the new ultra-conservative government of Victoria is trying to increase greenhouse gas pollution in all kinds of ways and has just announced [...]
Counting Seals Threatened By Climate Change
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) â?? A team of researchers will begin flights over Bering Sea ice to answer a basic question about four of the region’s most important species: How many ice-dependent seals are out there? Scientists from the United States and Russia will count ringed and bearded seals, which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [...]
Live, Interactive Wind Energy Map is a Thing of Beauty
Two of Google’s finest, Fernanda B. Viégas and Martin Wattenberg, have created an interactive map of the country’s wind energy that is both hypnotic and hopeful. The map uses data from the National Digital Forecast Database to provide hourly visual updates of wind patterns and speed across the U.S. The creators made the map to [...]
