Genepax shows off water-powered fuel cell vehicle {Engadget}
Jun 13th 2008 4:23PM OK, fair enough - I have all kinds of internet blocks at work so I couldn't see the video.
Still - what do we do, truck tons of ocean water to inland areas? What do the trucks run on?

Jun 13th 2008 2:13PM Water for fuel? Seriously? I'm a little hazy on the exact science of this, but I'm PRETTY SURE that fresh water is an extremely limited commodity on our planet.
I'm 100% for new technologies and green everything. But this seems like some brainy guy in the back room figured out how to make this car and some idiot in the front room said "Brilliant! Do it!"
EarthLED EvoLux R LED light bulb lets you choose your lumens {Engadget}
May 22nd 2008 4:49PM Sorry to be a CFL fanboy, but you can get full-spectrum CFLs - bluemaxlighting.com. They are cooler than the usual "soft white" bulbs most people get (duh) but I have one by my computer and love it.

May 22nd 2008 4:17PM Most compact fluorescents (aka CFLs) come in standard-looking styles like the old incandescents. They just put a glass globe around the "rollercoaster."
And just in case someone yells "mercury!", I know, I know: but they are reducing mercury in CFLs and if you actually bring it back to the hardware store when it's gone out (years later) they can recycle them.
Oilman T. Boone Pickens drops $2 billion on wind power {Engadget}
May 20th 2008 12:00PM A win for everyone, I'd say, though I agree that this probably a money-making scheme more than anything else.
@ David: OK, it's not exactly cheap, but check this out: http://www.inhabitat.com/2006/11/15/quiet-revolution-wind-turbine/

Researchers tout 20 million processor-strong supercomputer to study climate change {Engadget}

Researchers tout 20 million processor-strong supercomputer to study climate change {Engadget}
May 7th 2008 1:30PM If I'm the idiot you're referring to, phanbouy, my point was:
Climate change: environmental force that affects everyone.
UV radiation, earthquakes, tidal patterns: environmental forces that affect everyone.
So I'm in support of research to understand and prevent anthropogenic climate change on a large scale. Got it? Or am I still making false equivalents?

May 7th 2008 12:59PM So have UV radiation and tidal patterns and earthquakes. That doesn't mean we shouldn't study them to see how they do and will effect us - especially given how incredibly fast the human race has taken over this planet.
