You can find all sorts of cool gadgets here at Trend Hunter.
One break through that caught my attention is this: Inkjet Printed Solar Cells
In an advancement that could radically reduce the cost of making solar panels, Massachusetts-based Konarka Technologies has developed and successfully demonstrated the ability to print solar cells with an inkjet printer. By […]

Since gas prices seem to remain high, even when ordinary consumers are using less defying free market theory (which only holds if the market is free by the way, that increasingly leaves ours out) consumers are at the end of their rope. Using less hasn’t worked.
The price of gas has been spread through the entire […]

This is really more of a question than anything else.
First of all, the Senate voting to require autos to get 35 mpg in the name of setting the United States free from the power of the OPEC Cartel is like trying to put out a raging fire with a thimble of water. But really, what […]

I used to have a largely solar powered home and would love to have one again some time. So I couldn’t help but notice this entrepreneur who wants to see whole neighborhoods switch to solar power!
When 40 or 50 homes switch in a short period of time, that brings down the cost of installation for […]

It sounds like a “Disintegrator Ray” from a 1940’s cartoon strip, but it’s real… it’s the “Plasma Melter” .

It’s only exceeded by one thing… the lust for tax money.
That’s why someone driving a biofuel vehicle was ticketed and charged $1,000 for doing exactly what the politicians claim they want to happen.
Here’s the report from the Charlotte […]

All the “concern” about “climate change” is really just so much talk as evidenced by the way California’s Public Utilities Commission is jerking around people who had wanted to install solar electric systems for their homes.
For all the “talk” about encouraging solar power, and all the bluster and blather of “concern” about the environment, it’s […]

With all the talk of ethanol, doomsayers were forecasting starvation due to the lack of tortillas south of the border (no kidding). Now the starvation problem associated with ethanol will only affect termites as grasses and trees become the preferred source of carbohydrate for the process, according to the Department of Energy.
the future of biofuels […]

I was reading this article on how little known programs allow homeowners to sell power back to the power company or at least get subsidies to produce their own power and I have to admit, this is a “dream” I have…
1. No consumer debt
2. Paid off mortgage
3. And the power company paying me instead of […]
