Homo sapiens sapiens have been diving towards the concrete in the bottom of the pool for some time now. One can reasonably argue that we're all responsible or...
Hi everyone, Here is an interesting article from Counterpunch, "The Real Scoop on Biofuels" by BRIAN TOKAR, which I thought you might find interesting: ...

Paid parking at offices reduces commute trips by 23%, producing very large traffic and CO2 reduction. This is a very effective policy that is not popular. Are...
Hey, thanks, I really enjoyed hearing Bill Clinton, his mention of Denmark for wind and conservation might have been worth it alone. The asthma theme brought...
... I hope to have my own nice write up about it soon. I found the platitudes of all the speakers to be borderline nauseating, but did bring some anti-87 ...
The bias toward "biofuels" in Prop. 87's languaging is indeed worthy of concern. But not opposition. I've heard some intimation on this listserv that the...

Last night Bill Clinton spoke at Civic Center in San Francisco in favor of Proposition 87 on a specially-built, awfully well-lit stage, put up directly across...
If 87 passes, the time will have arrived to make the case for investment in renewable electricity and connecting transportation to the grid rather than a new...
... This is an email David F. sent me the other day regarding the boondoggle. I already used it with several other lists, so (Michael Poremba in particular ...
Eric again off SF Green energy. I should just get him to join our list: This idea that we should go ahead and vote for Prop 87 even though it will vastly ramp...
The point is solar and wind can impact petroleum usage. With plug-in hybrids and electric cars, petroleum miles are directly replaced with cleaner, cheaper,...
So, no doubt better alternative fuels will arrive and it is nice to have the review all in public view. For example, I'd like to see guanidine tried out - from...
... Oh, I believe in promoting them. I don't believe it will happen with Prop 87, which is why I have no intention of voting for it. But as previously talked...
... This is not a problem. I will go into more detail in another post if you like, but the basic idea is the cars are in operation 5% of the time and parked...
... Please post this because I believe what I've heard is whether or not they're sitting 95% of the time, having xx million cars charging is still going to...
... This is clearly not true. If you take an existing commuter train, you add almost zero incremental energy usage. If you drive a car, even a Prius, you add a...
Scary, here's a Halloween costume for the feint of heart: http://www.firehouse.com/training/hazmat/studies/2002/03_ammonia.html Although anhydrous ammonia is...
... Unless, as you say later, service is added as a result of your usage. The marginal energy of an additional passenger is therefore non-linear: small,...
But Dennis - even presuming that it ends up CA can't regulate fuel efficiency - that doesn't mean the logical conclusion to that ruling HAS to be an increase...
... I think it's pretty easy for a passenger to predict. Chosing to take a commuter train today has no direct effect on transit expansion, whereas it has a...
... First part of the answer to the above (perhaps more later): Let's calculate how much more. EVs get 0.2 to 0.3 kWh per mile. Let's use 0.25. In 1994 (the...
The relative efficiency ratios of cars to rail have me more than a bit uncomfortable. Let's not forget the embedded energy tied to individual vehicles. Aside...
You guys are brilliant! I've been trying to figure out how to make a killing on the upcoming global suffering and here it is. Anhydrous ammonia fueled...
... The reasoning above is similar to what Garrett Hardin famously called "The Tragedy of the Commons" in 1968. The clearest and most heartbreaking current...
