But three acres is, well, three acres, I said, and it does not seem very productive to require three acres to power the equivalent of 250 homes. Ng touched the cells, inspected them, and then turned to me. "For pure efficiency, there's nothing that compares with fossil fuel." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

If so, just 'fess up and be real with the folks. It's not a big deal, really. It just shows how far we have to go, both as a nation and individually. All of us are guilty of falling short of our environmental goals." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Don't take pictures here," he said as we entered the heart and soul of the manufacturing facilities, with pipes bent at right angles that carried the materials through a cadre of vats where carefully controlled reactions occurred that changed individual dextrose molecules into complex polylactides." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"The Orcelle would be powered by a combination of sails, solar energy, and fuel cells, using optimal designs to carry the most cargo possible—while requiring no ballast water, using fewer toxic chemicals, and generating no greenhouse emissions.

Global warming projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) show a widespread increase in the risk of flooding for tens of millions of people due to increased storms and sea-level rise." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.) "More cars are used, more electricity generated, more greenhouse emissions sent into the atmosphere. In the Long Emergency, to borrow a remark from author James Flink, "there will only be two types of nations: the over-developed and those which will never develop."5 China may represent an amalgamation of those two conditions in one nation-state. The looming worldwide crisis over freshwater beats another path to a crisis of food production. "We have created a food bubble economy," writes ecological ethicist Bill McKibben.
