In a November special issue of the journal Ecology, a group of scientists report that if current patterns of change in the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans continue, alterations of ocean circulation could occur on a global scale, with potentially dramatic implications for the world’s climate and biosphere. Charles Greene of Cornell University and colleagues [...]
One of my passions is the idea of taking vintage vehicles and converting them to EVs. The idea of recycling 2,000 lbs of steel and rubber into a roadworthy vehicle that is more efficient than when it was new is very cool. It looks like Neil Young has the same passion. He has teamed up [...]
A researcher at Montana State University has found a micro-organism in a plant in South America that could fuel vehicles one day. The unusual fungus contains the essence of diesel, which one could use to run a bus, for example, without processing it at all. Listen…
You can search and find many blogs or pick up most magazines and read articles on the future of ground transportation and how its use of petroleum adversely affects the environment.

Instead of showing pictures of using a mayonnaise jar with some wire, steel mesh and hose, the hho-hybrid site discusses the use [...]
35 Billion Gallons of Biofuel by 2017 from GreenFuel Technologies Biofuel White Paper If GreenFuel algae facilities could be located at every operating plant in the U.S., it would be possible to produce about 13.5 billion gallons of biodiesel and 8.5 billion gallons of ethanol per year if those plants continued to produce electricity at [...]
Microscopic alternative to biofuels By Cristina Jimenez Published: December 27 2007 19:55 | Last updated: December 27 2007 19:55 Oil from algae, the microscopic plants that produce a green covering on the surfaces of ponds and neglected outdoor swimming pools, may soon be filling diesel pumps. As crude oil has moved towards $100 (€70, £50) [...]
