Sweet! Energy Techno Breakthroughs

My newest posts over at the Ecotality blog include this one that looks at Ecotality's core technology itself, a device that creates hydrogen-on-demand for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. It potentially solves many of the problems that otherwise might prevent hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles from ever becoming a mass-market item. One problem not yet solved: Cost.

In another post at Ecotality I look at one of the lies in Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, a lie often repeated by the environmental Left, and by respected "rock star" economists of the global warming community. Find out what the lie is - and what the truth is - here.

Speaking Ecotality's hydrogen-on-demand technology, there is also "wind energy on demand" technology that's moving from concept to reality. This post looks at two companies with plans to store wind-generated energy either as compressed air, or in high-tech batteries. (Plus, a second post on wind-energy technology.)

Additional posts include a discussion of Fred Thompson's environmental record, a look at the real cause of global warming, and a battery technology that would have Napoleon Dynamite saying, "Sweet!"

[Full disclosure: Ecotality, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, pays me a not-small but not-huge sum to blog about environmental issues, technology and such at the Ecotality blog, where I spotlight technology breakthroughs, laud the private sector as the most likely source of the solutions to global warming, and mock carbon offsets and occasionally Al Gore, much to the dismay of my co-bloggers there.]
