This weekend marks the second anniversary of the worst oil disaster in U.S. history, the B.P. blowout in the Gulf.

Silly question, I know. But in 50 years? Who knows when another will take its place. When we consider oil's tremendous value, that it is in, or plays a role in bringing us every single thing we own (except volunteer vegetables perhaps, or eggs from our own scavenging chickens, carried home as chicks on a walk from the neighboring organic farm), it can't be surprising that profits broke all … [Read more...]
Breaking news: Climate Change Is REAL! - say new, more comprehensive climate studies funded partially by the conservative Koch foundation, and likely to their dismay.

There is a difference at this point in time, because now the oil price seems consistently high, we also have a huge and long-term … [Read more...]
We have to admit to being intrigued by a story found in the Huffington Post regarding the possible future of air travel, biofuels, and the meeting of these two means to an end. A "Cooking Oil Powered Flight" has seen not only KLM frying through the skies powered by recycled cooking oil, but a couple of other airlines with a greenish tinge, testing this mode of powering airplanes too. Virgin, Air … [Read more...]
