- What's a brick?
- CinderblockMany years ago a product called cinderblock was made from coal fire residue. It was similar to standard concrete block. In many cases, over time, it proved far less satisfactory. One big problem was degradation in a wet environment. It would get sort of mushy and...

- Could you green the world brick by brick?
- One California-based company is going to try. And they're going to make those "green" bricks in Wisconsin, not ship them in from China. The new-fangled brick has been pioneered by CalStar Products. A basic ingredient of the CalStar brick is coal ash, residue from burning coal. There...

- Are we acting like silly fuels?
- Hmm.Nah. Not today. :)What is this topic doing on ZDnet???If you're going to cover topics such as natural gas and coal ash, I'm eagerly looking forward to the relative merits of Golden Delicious apples versus Pippens. Or maybe a hot-off-the-press comparison of the latest front-loading washing machines.*gasp*o.OUh, coal ash...

- Are we acting like silly fuels?
- There is a steady flow of news these days about the drawbacks of our energy "system." The bad news seems to flow like...greenhouse gas, or even coal ash during a downpour. America's natural gas reserves are increasing as more and more deposits are found. The catch: fracking...

- Transparency buried beneath ash heap. Wallboard the fix?
- There are apparently 44 coal ash heaps that endanger human lives in the U.S. That's the EPA's conclusion. And those 44 sites will remain secret because you or some other terrorist might unleash a deadly ash flow through the coal-burning communities of the U.S. I blogged...

- Hellacious wallboard--take 2Sulphate is rock stableReally a shame that a blog which started well gets tained by fear mongering: Gypsum is used in wallboard globally. It?s a naturally-occuring, very soft mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, CaSO4?2H2O. Note there?s a sulphur ion there. Any impurities that cause the gypsum to...

- Hellacious wallboard--take 2
- The nasty wallboard emitting H2S (hydrogen sulphide, a gas) is apparently spread around North America. The Canadians are now complaining about it. I blogged about this latest Chinese import to raise health questions. The stuff was apparently imported from 2001 to 2007. One estimate:...

- That's not a rotten egg, it's just my wallboard venting
- Apparently hundreds of homes getting new wallboard in 2005 and 2006 were dealt a rotten batch of wallboard, as in rotten eggs. The Chinese-originated wall board apparently vents sulphur compounds. That in turn does nasty things to pipes, air conditioners and humans. So far the problem has...

- Grumpy old man gets happy--how can this be? Isn't the U.S. economy hopelessly doomed?
- I'm a grumpy old man. It's very easy to get really angry or completely depressed blogging about cleantech, or the need for it. From the global warming arguments to whole nations--like my own and China--stubbornly refusing to move to new technologies, this seems to be an era of...

- Exxon is the world's largest oil company. By some measures it's simply the world's largest company. The U.S. is the world's biggest military power, energy user and debtor nation. Together they think they can out-muscle a Latin American leader who may not even have the loyalty of...
