- What do you believe, your eyes or somebody's numbers?
- One Alaskan scientist has been flying over the Arctic regularly for years. He has seen the ice disappearing. He doesn't need computer projections to warn him. He doesn't need models showing global cooling...or global warming. Shall we call it global disagreement? Where once the airborne...

- Cash for clunkers: one man's story

- The answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind...
- Bob Dylan was right, as always. A Canadian study says auto emissions would be cut by 90% if we all drove plug-ins, and then re-charged them when the wind blows. Like, overnight. In places like Calgary where they did the study. Where the wind comes sweepin'...

- Having a bad air day?
- Wonder why so many people seem to be so dumb? Investing in real estate during a bubble? Smoking cigarettes? Falling for Internet scams? Maxing out credit cards at 20% interest? Well, some researchers may have some of the answer: bad air. Not "hair" but "air." Urban...

- Portugal's wave farm may be sunk
- Slow deployment, bankrupt owner, perhaps a wave or two too far. The Portugal offshore wave farm to generate electricity may go the way of the Cray computer and the Edsel automobile. Or hydrogen powered cars. Back when I first blogged about the Pelamis tech...

- Chinese drywall: more than you paid for?
- I blogged earlier about problems blamed on impurities in Chinese-made plaster board. Tests by the Environmental Protection Agency test results released today confirm those suspicions.
