Biofuel production is limited by the quantity of biomass on the planet. As we’ve demonstrated in our report Biofuel vs. Photovoltaics, there isn’t enough arable farmland on the planet for biofuel to even begin to replace crude oil. But what if farmland is not the only source for biofuel feedstock?

It finally happened. The future is here. The future is now. Tesla Motors in San Carlos, California, a company we scooped about a month ago in Silicon Valley- The New Detroit?, has released specifications on its revolutionary battery powered car.

Several years ago we published The Car of the Future, which described the ambitious plans of [...]

With most contrarian positions we’ve published, whether they regarded DDT, GMO’s, Chemicals, Recycling, Nuclear Power, The Hydrogen Hoax, Transportation, or Suburban Sprawl, it’s been pretty easy to allow differing points of [...]
