show and the discovery channel are still stuck in the old paradigm of tv distribution they should find a way to put them all online and monetize the eyeballs instead others are creating a library on their own illegally and getting all the ad revenue from the viewings a loss for the discovery channel but good news for the viewers check out this one on how lithium batteries are made i think this concept could be extended even further what if every product produced in the us had a 5 minute video that showed how that product was produced then as a consumer you could get the backstory of the product maybe there could be a 1 minute condensed version the standard 5 minute version and an in depth 10 minute version this could be produced by the manufacturer of the product a relevant npo or hopefully both you could choose to watch the version from the source you trust most curious how your food was raised what it took to make your laptop or what the working conditions were like making your shoes now you can find out if there was an augmented barcode on the product you could take a picture of it with your cellphone causing the video to be streamed to your cellphone you would have

the japanese are making a push to greatly improve lithium ion battery technology through the ministry of economy trade and industry over the last 15 years there has been a great increase in energy density and units sold of lithium ion batteries as the graphs show energy density has improved 5 2 times over the last 15 years a rate of 11 6 a year if that trend were to continue a doubling would occur every 7 years unfortunately they don t specify how capacity kwh per dollar has improved over time this is the most important metric in my mind i would guess it is similar to the energy density improvement but i could be wrong the report also specifies their targets for the future they want batteries with the same performance at 1 2 the cost by 2010 1 5 times the performance at 1 7th the cost by 2015 and 7 times the performance at 1 40 the cost in 2030 that is much quicker than the current rate of improvement and i don t know how realistic it is but if they are able to hit their 2015 goal it would make electric cars competitive with gasoline powered ones in just 8 years currently the tesla roadster uses batteries that give it a range of 200 miles with a price estimated at 12 500 to 20 000 to 30 000 a battery with 1 5 times the performance at 1 7th the cost would give the tesla roadster a range of over 350 miles and a price on the battery of somewhere between 2 000 and 4 000 with the cost savings of electricity over gasoline i believe this would make electric vehicles cost competitive with internal combustion engines without subsidies via green car congress read more

by crossing humans with apes according to recently uncovered secret documents half man half monkey soliders sweet how come i never heard of this before moscow archives show that in the mid 1920s russia s top animal breeding scientist ilya ivanov was ordered to turn his skills from horse and animal work to the quest for a super warrior mr ivanov s ideas were music to the ears of soviet planners and in 1926 he was dispatched to west africa with 200 000 to conduct his first experiment in impregnating chimpanzees meanwhile a centre for the experiments was set up in georgia stalin s birthplace for the apes to be raised mr ivanov s experiments unsurprisingly from what we now know were a total failure he returned to the soviet union only to see experiments in georgia to use monkey sperm in human volunteers similarly fail while they claim to have failed i am personally still holding out hope that it really did work and they are hanging out in the russian equivalent of area 51 and i love how they call the women volunteers what woman wouldn t jump at the chance to bear half monkey soldier offspring now i know what you are thinking with the improvements in genetic information and technology over the last 100 years is it time to give it a try again and the answer without a doubt is yes while cross breeding won t work what about tweaking a gene or two first lets see if we can get a chimp to talk and write some shakespeare without requiring an infinite amount of time the chimpanzee genome has been sequenced and differences between their brain genes and ours have been found but no one knows for sure which of these genes give humans our increased intelligence or ability to speak i say only one way to find out lets create some chimps with the human version of these genes and see what happens second lets try and give humans chimpanzee strength for those of you aren t aware chimps are much stronger than humans this would make steroids look quaint scientists aren t quite sure what accounts for the difference but they believe it has to do with the myosin gene myh16 lets create some humans with the chimp version of this gene and see what happens so the only question is where this work could occur hmm which country has ethically challenged geneticists cough south korea cough via scotsman com read more summary only at 5 10 2007 3 comments labels genetics nature ipcc calculates cost of global warming fix the intergovernmental panel on climate change ipcc released their report on the costs of mitigating climate change the economist summarizes their results as follows the report says that to stabilise greenhouse gas concentrations at 550 parts per million a level most scientists think safeish would require a price of 20 50 per tonne of carbon by 2020 30 that the ipcc s economic models reckon on average that if the world adopted such a price the global economy would be 1 3 smaller than it otherwise would have been by 2050 or put another way global economic growth would be 0 1 a year lower than it otherwise would have been that seems quite reasonable and worth the cost the report looks at how much co2 emissions could be reduced by 2030 with various co2 emission prices at 0 per ton emissions can be reduced by approximately 6 tons or 8 5 at 20 13 tons 19 5 at 50 19 5 tons 29 and at 100 23 5 tons 34 5 to put this price in perspective each dollar per ton translates to 1 per gallon of gasoline as a gallon emits 20 lbs of co2 1 per kwh of coal powered electricity as each kwh produces 2 1 lbs of co2 or 065 per kwh of natural gas powered electricity 1 3 lbs of co2 per kwh a 20 price would translate to 20 per gallon of gasoline 1 per kwh of coal electricity and 65 per kwh of natural gas electricity the report also looks at what sector the savings would come from with various prices as seen in the chart click for larger version interesting points 1 the largest potential savings are in buildings 2 transportation savings account for only 8 to 14 of total savings 3 raising the price of carbon emissions has little impact on reducing emissions from transportation and buildings but it has a large impact on industry agriculture and forestry based on this report i think it makes sense to have a carbon tax of 20 50 a ton that is gradually implemented over many years a cap and trade system could also be used if a tax is not possible politically the washington post and green car congress also had writeups on the ipcc s findings read more summary only at 5 10 2007 0 comments labels environmentalism wednesday may 09 2007 murdoch to take news corp carbon neutral the world s top media company news corporation will slash its global carbon footprint to zero under a bold plan revealed by its chairman rupert murdoch saying the global media empire produced 641 150 tonnes of greenhouse gas last year the news chairman and ceo last night pledged to go green under the plan all news corp businesses including news limited publisher of the herald sun will be carbon neutral by 2010 mr murdoch said this goal would be met by slashing energy use switching to renewable power sources and as a last resort offsetting unavoidable emissions that plan sounds pretty ambitious but it goes even farther as he wants to use news corps influence to push this agenda we can set an example and we can reach our audiences he said our audience s carbon footprint is 10 000 times bigger than ours that s the carbon footprint we want to conquer mr murdoch said news corp s newspapers television stations magazines books internet media and films could inspire readers and viewers across the world to change their ways holy crap does this mean the boss is going to force fox news to say that global warming is caused by humans and we need to do something about it can t wait to see if that is true now that conservatives like murdoch ex speaker of the house newt gingrich and political pollster frank luntz believe something needs to be done about global warming i think the writing is on the wall that the republicans are about to come to this position and the political debate on global warming will truly be over via the herald

in the book 1491 i have been intrigued by its potential for increasing agricultural production and sequestering carbon now there is an international agrichar initiative that is looking to implement it on a large scale the first meeting of the international agrichar initiative convened about 100 scientists policymakers farmers and investors with the goal of birthing an entire new industry to produce a biofuel that goes beyond carbon neutral and is actually carbon negative the industry could provide a wedge of carbon reduction amounting to a minimum of ten percent of world emissions and possibly much more agrichar is the term not for the biomass fuel but for what is left over after the energy is removed a charcoal based soil amendment in simple terms the agrichar process takes dry biomass of any kind and bakes it in a kiln to produce charcoal the process is called pyrolysis various gases and bio oils are driven off the material and collected to use in heat or power generation the charcoal is buried in the ground sequestering the carbon that the growing plants had pulled out of the atmosphere the end result is increased soil fertility and an energy source with negative carbon emissions one reason for the excitement is agrichar s potential to address a range of problems from poor soil fertility to waste disposal to rural development about half the world s population relies on charcoal for cooking fuel and the production of charcoal drives deforestation in africa and other places smoky inefficient charcoal kilns pollute the air with noxious gases that harm health and heat the planet an effort to replace these kilns with modern efficient pyrolysis units would relieve the pressure on forests by reducing waste and adding the ability to use any source of biomass including agricultural waste products such as rice hulls the ultimate objective is to produce enough charcoal to have some left over to bury and increase soil fertility leading to a bootstrapping effect where increased yields provide both more food and more biomass for energy this 7 000 year old amazonian technique could now be used to improve farming conditions in china and australia robert flanagan an entrepreneur working in china had a different view there are 700 million farmers in china he pointed out china could quickly deploy a small village level pyrolysis unit he is developing and because labor is cheap spreading the agrichar on fields would be affordable even without a large energy harvest several farmers attending the conference were primarily interested in the increased yields possible with agrichar australia has some of the poorest soils in the world 75 percent of australia s soils have less than one percent carbon via energy bulletin read more summary only at 5 08 2007 0
