A company called Biomass Investment Group Inc. is planning to grow a crop that they have branded as E-Grass on a plot of land just north of Lake Okeechobee in central Florida. Progress Energy apparently will purchase the crop as fuel for one or more of its power plants. That prospect worries the Sierra Club…

As…
Spencer Reiss, who often writes about energy for Wired Magazine, published a review of Gwyneth Cravens’s Power to Save the World: The Truth About Nuclear Energy in the November 20, 2007 edition of the Wall Street Journal.

The Ukraine is almost singular in absence of commentary? Could they possibly have “Other Energy” options than everyone else? Perhaps Vladimir Vystotskii in Kiev has some new ideas at the shevchencko University. Maybe it is just that Ukrainians know their comments might question how a democratic society like ours can’t manage the resources we have more efficiently? After all, they know all about scarce energy as the result of government regulation.
