First Solar and Suntech Power to Build Solar Farm in Abu Dhabi

How will they prevent sandstorms from scouring away the clarity of the solar collector glass?

Black Swans and Greenwashing Solar and Wind

He doesn't mention Blacklight Power (the ultimate Black Swan), which like EEStor, if it works, it changes everything.

My U.S. Infrastructure and Employment Plan

Amen again. And Tomas Martin is right ... electric cars are the only answer that makes sense! The Poulsen hybrid is a better retrofit for older cars than a natural gas conversion. For the same price, you can get clean, 95+% efficient electric motors pushing cars.

Do We Need an Alternative Energy 'Manhattan Project'?

America could easily be energy independent in ten years by aggressively prosecuting oil companies that are squashing existing technology. They say we can't drive electric cars because the technology is too expensive, because the battery doesn't exist, because blah blah blah blah. I can build a goddam electric car in my back yard for under $8000, but I can't buy the Cobasys NIMH battery that powered the EV1 in California because Chevron bought it and won't sell itt to anyone. They won't even fulfill their contract with Daimler who is currently sueing them. But they don't care about lawsuits, they make more money each day that the battery is not available than they'll ever lose in a lawsuit.
