Fix those Traffic Lights to Reduce Congestion (And Emissions)
Posted by Jeff from Feeds.treehugger
Image courtesy of grendelkhan via flickr You know the feeling: You're sitting in front of a traffic light for what seems like an eternity -- yet there's no cross traffic. And, as luck would have it, the light immediately reverts back to red after only allowing barely a handful of cars in front of you to pass. Surely, you wonder, there must be a ...

Arizona's Solar Aspirations in Peril
Posted by Jeff from Feeds.feedburner
Faye Bowers writes for The Christian Science Monitor: "The sun shines 325 days a year in Arizona, on average, and some here see that as the state's biggest energy asset. But fledgling efforts to turn Arizona into the solar capital of the world depend on making the initial investment in new energy plants affordable - something that could become much more difficult, perhaps even impossible, if a federal tax credit for solar projects expires at the end of the year as scheduled."

New idea in mortuary science: Dissolving bodies with lye
Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Can't they just make me into a green battery? ... Getting the public to accept a process that strikes some as ghastly may be the biggest challenge. Psychopaths and dictators have used acid or lye to torture or erase their victims, and legislation to make alkaline hydrolysis available to the public in New York state was branded "Hannibal Lecter's bill" in a play on the sponsor's name - Sen. Kemp Hannon - and the movie character's sadism.

McCain calls for 700+ new nuclear plants (and 7 Yucca mountains) costing $4 trillion
Posted by Jeff from Huffington Post
Well, sort of. The HuffPo folks love to write sensational headlines... "We would have to quadruple the number of reactors to 400, which would take decades even if we could somehow return to -- and sustain -- the fastest decadal rate of U.S. nuclear plant construction. But that wouldn't mean just building 300 new nuclear plants, for several reasons. First, by 2050, almost all of the existing plants would need to be replaced, so that is another hundred to build if we want to hit the 80% goal."

Consumer Ethanol Appliance Promises Cheaper Gas, Less Emissions
Posted by Jeff from Yahoo News!
The New York Times today reports on the $9,995 Microfueler, a home-based appliance for brewing ethanol for your car. The MicroFueler will use sugar as its main fuel source, or feedstock, along with a specially packaged time-release yeast the company has developed. Depending on the cost of sugar, plus water and electricity, the company says it could cost as little as a dollar a gallon to make ethanol. In general, he says, burning a gallon of ethanol made by his system will produce one-eighth the carbon of the same amount of gasoline.

Native Americans Launch Wind Energy Project
Posted by Shemuses from
With the demand for wind-energy mounting, native tribes are pushing to increase wind projects on tribal lands, reports Indian Country Today. A Seattle company, Native Green Energy is installing turbines in Maine to power 50 homes and enable the tribe to sell excess energy to private utilities. There is great potential for wind energy in the native-owned lands in the Northern Great Plains-enough, some experts say, to meet the nation's electrical needs, but existing laws do not allow tax credits to non-Native companies that team with tribes. Bills have been introduced in the House and Senate to allow the tax credit.
