More from editor emeritus Dave Seago: I'm at the Microsoft conference center in Redmond for a two-day conference called "Beyond Oil: Transforming Transportation – A National Demonstration Project." It's got a fascinating roster of speakers, including former CIA chief James Woolsey, who has gone green in a big way, arguing that America's security depends on ending its dependence on foreign oil. The conference is co-sponsored by Microsoft, the Seattle-based Discovery Institute's Cascadia Center and the Idaho National Laboratory. I'll soon go inspect a fleet of alternate fuel vehicles parked outside. But I've already come across one clever gimmick. A fellow who contends that since most of us will still be driving some kind of vehicle on our roads and highways for a long time, part of the solution has to be promoting vastly more ride-sharing. He's looking for His gimmick: He's passing out egg cartoons cut in half, each half-carton holding one fresh egg in a container meant to hold six. His point, of course, is that's the way we use our cars today.

The Idaho National Laboratory has a lot of other environmentally friendly projects. The Web site is www.inl.gov but there is also a channel at YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/user/IdahoNationalLab I would suggest the "Motion to Energy M2E" or "Harvesting the Sun's Energy" videos. Comments are not allowed from anonymous visitors. Please login or register to comment. |
