Joe Biden
The entire election is now going to hinge on whether you are pro or anti-nuke with Indian Point as the sacrificial lamb.

Olympics Opening Ceremony: China Leads the LED Revolution!
If there's one feeling we can walk away with after witnessing the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Beijing is that the Chinese rule the light emitting diode universe.2008 drummers, celebrating China's spiritual Taoist, Confucianist and Buddhist traditions, filled the stadium with the rolls of thick red LED drum sticks!
Laid on the ground of the stadium was an LED screen 147 meters long and 22 meters wide with 44,000 embedded LED beads. LED beads were also embedded on the costumes of performers.
The majority of LED bulbs entering the US market are imported from China, as if GE, Philips and Sylvania were sleeping at the switch for the last ten years while the Chinese were planning their LED planetary invasion! These US and European companies lead in patents, but not in manufacture, which some accuse them of parking!
So it was a big surprise to me when I read that in fact, most of the LEDs used during last night's ceremony were made in all places, Morrisville, North Carolina by a company called CREE!
The Chinese might be building too many coal fired plants, but if their plans are to manufacture super-energy efficient appliances, and ultimately use the profits to install "clean" coal burning technology, they might have a longer view of green solutions than previously anticipated.
It seems as if many Chinese companies have been creating strong alliances with green start-ups in America which were not able to find financing at home, in such important energy fields as high efficiency lighting, batteries, electronics and automobiles.
The Chinese are quietly building MGs on an Indian reservation in Oklahoma. Rumors are circulating they may give Tesla Motors a run for its money. Chinese battery companies are buying car companies to herald a new generation of electric vehicles, which could easily save Beijing from its toxic level of air pollution.
If China can reduce the cost of such turn key technologies as solid-state batteries and lights, they are surely going to conquer the planet with a new wave of clean power generation.
Everyone knows that he who controls energy controls the economy, such has it been with the Rockefellers and the Federal Bank Reserve for over a century. There seems to be a changing of the guard as people of the Earth who have awakened to create energy more in tune with nature, are embracing LEDs, photovoltaics and the great promise of electric cars.
If there was one message that came out loud and clear last night for me as I sat down watching my TV, it's that the Chinese more than get it, they're itching to rule the green nest, with US-based green companies joining the dance, our own banks and government having failed them so miserably for so many years.
Might be that "Made in China" may not be such a bad thing after all, if the Chinese can get the lead out, and aim to brand themselves as the great green Santa of the 21st Century! I'm told Lü magazine isn't filtered out by state controlled Google!

Plasma Bulbs, Better than LEDs!!!
Silicon Valley's Luxim has developed a lightbulb the size of a Tic Tac that gives off as much light as a streetlight. CNET News.com's Michael Kanellos talks to the company about its technology and its plans to expand into various markets.

They are already being used in Panasonic LiFi rear-projection HDTVs where they've replaced the usual halogen or xenon arc projector bulb.
Instead of a glowing hot filament or electrodes passing high voltage through xenon gas; it uses RF energy (basically the same as microwaves) to excite the gases inside the capsule. The gases heat up and give off light.
The technique is like microwave powered sulfur lamp. It uses electromagnetic induction at high frequencies rather than current flowing between electrodes stuck in the plasma.

AL GORE: Green Energy by 2018
Notice how Gore always mentions the need to ween ourselves away from "oil and coal" but never mentions nuclear power... That's because he considers nuclear power part of what he calls renewables. Like French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Gore is a thinly veiled nuclear power salesman!
The solutions to the environmental crisis, the depletion of fish in the ocean, mass starvation... have simple solutions, like the re-legalization of hemp agriculture in America... Regional production of cellulose-based ethanol fuels... More efficient means of internal combustion with laser ignition systems... The introduction of high density, solid-state li-ion battery chemistries for solar and wind baseload storage.
Hybrids, hydrogen, nuclear power are no solutions, they're jumping from the frying pan, into the fire. Gore advocates solar and wind, while our military and its black labs are keeping energy conversion technology secrets for matter of national security.
10 years? Yes, if nano-technology, green technologies, hemp, a manhattan project towards genuine energy solutions, opening up the gates of Area 51, letting independent scientists through the door, and sharing what we need to get the job done!
Stop lying to the world about the state of human science!

Design for Rising Sea Levels
by Kristina Hill and Jonathan Barnett"As far as we can tell, most designers and planners aren’t thinking seriously about climate change in the U.S. unless they work closely with the insurance industry, which is dropping tens of thousands of East Coast customers and raising rates on the rest, in part as a result of climate predictions. Ecologists all over the world also know that it’s a very big deal. The World Bank knows. But building and landscape architects, engineers, and planners don’t seem to have connected the dots."

FreeGlobalEnergy on YouTube
Stanley Meyer and many others. Always the same story. The Pentagon wants to see your idea and tell you how they would like to use your invention. You demonstrate your device proving to them that it works, then they block all of your efforts and end up killing you. The only way to get a free energy device out to the public is to foget about patents, distribute underground, sell it to EV enthusiests with the plans and encourage them to travel around and do as you are, you then have created a non interlinked underground distribution system that will spread to the general populous and it will spread like wild fire, it will be un-stoppable.
