If you don't know about Bloom Energy, look into it. The Bloom Box fuel cell system is the most amazing and efficient energy source I've seen. It's going to be huge. We're so fortunate to get to visit two years in a row. The company is humming along. Thank you to K.R., David (pictured on the left) and the whole crew.

Excited and Scared for Gasland 2. On video soon. Still thinking about the first installment.
Green Illusions
In preparation for the Spring Sustainable Energy course, I'm reading Green Illusions by Ozzie Zehner. After only three chapters I'm questioning multiple sustainable energy systems. The biggest shocker is the section on the politics and inefficiencies of ethanol. Lots here for class discussion. Recommended.
