“Electricity was sent wirelessly to a lamp on stage, lighting a 60 watt bulb that uses more power than a typical laptop computer… without zapping anything or anyone that got between the sending and receiving units.”

Here’s another entry in the competition: “…we can use these organisms to convert residual hydrocarbons into natural gas and create a new source of domestic energy… We are also experimenting with shales and other unconventional reservoirs.”

There are many many projects underway to develop alternative sources of energy.  We have no way of knowing which will pan out.  That’s why it’s important for government to get out of the way and let the competition proceed.

Subsidies for particular technologies - corn ethanol, windmills, or what have you - make winners out of uneconomic losers.  And waste taxpayers’ money.  And feed corruption.

Oil at over $100 per barrel is plenty of incentive to spur energy innovation.

“If Congress simply does nothing, the ban will expire, uncorking significant new supplies of oil and gas, and sending a message to world energy markets that the game has changed.”

I just realized that my comment spam filter has been overdoing the filtering. In addition to rejecting the ubiquitous ads for auto insurance and gambling, it has been rejecting legitimate comments.

Please accept my apologies and don’t give up on posting comments. I’ll be tinkering with the filter over the next few days, trying to get it just right. Suspected spam will still be held, which may delay posting, but I will be reviewing it rather than just ignoring it.

A no brainer.  Let the moratorium expire.

Here’s another entry in the competition: “… processes for the direct conversion of biomass to hydrocarbon fuels such as high-octane gasoline or jet fuel…”

So much for civility in politics and bringing people together.

The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado, shows Arctic sea ice extent only 10 per cent greater than this date in 2007.  But a comparison of ice-extent maps shows that Arctic ice extent was 30 per cent greater on August 11, 2008 than it was on August 12, 2007.

“An expert from the National Autonomous University of Mexico predicted that in about ten years the Earth will enter a ‘little ice age’ which will last from 60 to 80 years and may be caused by the decrease in solar activity.”

“Obama’s rebuttal document defends the man who implicated himself in terror bombings in his own 2001 memoir, Fugitive Days. The document calls it a ‘lie’ that Ayers is an ‘unrepentant domestic terrorist’…”

“It was only in May that Sen. Barack Obama cockily proclaimed he would debate Sen. John McCain ‘anywhere, anytime.’ But…”
