High efficiency achieved by electricity generation at home
http://panasonic.net/ha/e/FC/doc02_00.html
"Electricity", a form of energy now indispensable in our daily lives, is generated in large-scale atomic, thermal, or hydroelectric power stations and transmitted along power lines to individual homes. Household fuel cells allow households to generate part of the electricity they require, reducing the electricity purchase from an electric power company. In addition, they serve as a cogeneratio
Old way to make energy.

In Thailand, use of natural gas is mainly limited to electricity generation and in some industries, according to Termchai Boonnak, vice-president at PTT Plc.
PTT, the national energy flagship, has been expanding its city gas pipeline network to suppor
Congress is fresh off a decision not to do anything to spare their grandchildren the ravages of climate change. Despite the rhetoric, this decision was driven by the imperative to protect wealthy status quo incumbents. Money talks. Screw the grandchildren.

Through photosynthesis, the rain forest absorbs 2 billion tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide each year. But the 2005 drought caused a massive die-off of trees and inverted the process. Like a vacuum cleaner expelling its dust, the Amazon released 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide in 2005. All told, the drought caused an extra 5 billion tons of heat-trapping gases to end up in the atmosphere — more than the combined annual emissions of Europe and Japan.
It still remains to be seen whether the rai
Disaster warning
The natural disasters which have occurred in Thailand are a warning to us all. The more we destroy nature, the more we will be punished by nature.
The Thai people are still destroying forests. Plastic bags are still widely used. Everyone still uses their own private car, causing traffic jams every day. Likewise, fuel continues to be burned for energy, and so on.
It is time for the Thai people to be aware of these serious natural disasters and respect Earth. Or soon the day wi
The Onion:
“According to a report released this week by the Center for Global Development, climate change, the popular mid-2000s issue that raised awareness of the fact that the earth’s continuous rise in temperature will have catastrophic ecological effects, has apparently not been resolved, and may still be a problem.”
Chu on Facebook:
“Yes, indeed, it is still a problem. And we need to continue making progress toward a clean energy future – not only because it’s the right thing to

How many times you times have you run around the house with a can bug spray holding your breath. So many nasty chemicals around us all the time. I know that some Thais farmers know about natural herbs keep bugs away
Dr. James Hansen, a veteran NASA climate expert, has been both lauded and criticized for moving beyond studying global warming to pressing lawmakers and the public to end unfettered coal burning and build a nonpolluting energy system.
California has consistently led the nation in renewable energy development. The state currently has over 270 renewable energy projects, totaling approximately 70,000 MW, seeking to build and run facilities in the Golden State. Including the Calico project, the CEC has now approved seven large-scale solar projects totaling nearly 3,500 MW in clean, renewable energy that will likely start construction in California by the end of this year. This includes the 1,000 MW Blythe project which, once buil
We see so much media exposure of tea party members shouting Obama is a /communist/fascist/socialist/muslim that it's easy to think American's are going insane. Stewart and the crowd there prove that there are many many calm, rational and intelligent people on the sidelines that aren't as 'entertaining' for the media to promote.

Ross Ice Shelf - Antarctica
Evidence from ice and sea bottom core samples shows that the Ross Ice Shelf has melted and reformed 35 times in the last 4 million years. The Ross Ice Shelf is a tipping point for sea level rise.
