[Untitled] Challenges To Environmentally Responsible Energy Use In Today's ...: Now we are rushing to escape the energy culture as we know it, in order to remake it as we don't know it. The irony is that a marginal amount of planning -- continual improvement in mileage standards, closing of the loophole in those standards that exempted light trucks, steady federal investment in renewable energy -- might have alleviated the energy and climate crunch facing us today.

[Untitled] The Oil Drum | From the Editor's Desk: Peak Oil, Heretical Thought ...: If you're interested in exploring one interpretation of the philosophy of heretics etc, you could do worse than read Robert Pirsig's two books 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' and 'Lila' (which have a wealth of PO relevant material, I suggest, most particularly in the cultural relationship to technology, and the blindspot western culture has with regard to religion/values questions).

[Untitled] The Energy Blog: A123Systems Li-ion Battery in Prius: GAB, the claim of peak-lithium is being pushed by one Muslim who is unhappy that oil consumption will decline and middle easterners will have to get a real job. And of course some anti-science anti-progress post-colonial leftists as usual are backing this up.

[Untitled] Bioenergy pact between Europe and Africa: : analyses what would happen to energy use if current high levels of economic growth in China and India persist through the projection period.Energy developments in China and India are transforming the global energy system as a result of their sheer size and their growing importance in international energy markets.

[Untitled] Yale Environment 360: The U.S. and China: Common Ground on Climate: It includes a remarkable series of photographs taken from an apartment window in Beijing that documents the city’s air quality.Although we are only beginning to become aware of the connection, our two nations are part of an unspoken, if cryptic, partnership, whose hallmarks to date have been mutual irresponsibility and neglect rather than constructive collaboration. The challenge before us is to transform this still environmentally abusive relationship into a collaborative one where both sides begin to cooperate on finding new solutions.

[Untitled] Why FREEsenSEX Shoots Up Amidst National Calamity?: Apprehensions have already started to find their expression among members of the Congress, many of whom think that this deal is more in India’s interest as India would be able to develop its military program without any problems, as India's prototype fast breeder reactors, which can produce significant amounts of weapons-grade plutonium, have been kept out of this agreement.[12] There are also apprehensions that the deal would also encourage other countries to develop their nuclear programs, and this would harm the United States’ vital interest of preventing nuclear proliferation, lead to the spread of weapons-grade nuclear material, and also unleash a regional arms race in which China and Russia could be expected to do the same for Pakistan and Iran as the United States does for India. In such an atmosphere, it would be difficult for the United States to get support for sanctions against the countries known as nuclear rebels, such as Iran and North Korea.[13] Another apprehension is that the United States’ failure at the recent NSG (Nuclear Suppliers Group) consultative group's meeting at Vienna to get the issue of allowing India to buy the nuclear technology from the world market included on its agenda for the Rio de Janeiro plenary session to be held in May, would make it difficult for the United States to convince the forty-five nation NSG, and particularly China and Japan, to change their policies to exempt India from nuclear export controls.[14] This failure could also make the attitudes in Congress both hard and difficult.
