		<description><![CDATA[They&#8217;re finally here! Coal-fired cars. Well, actually, very early cars were coal-fired steam powered cars but today&#8217;s newest additions, including the Chevy Volt are powered by almost 50% coal.
Chevy is actually pretty honest about this. Instead of describing this as a CO2 free car, the website says:

The nuclear crisis in Japan comes as a result, not of the 9.0 Mw earthquake; the Daiichi plants survived those just [...]]]></description>

This part of the western United States is not densely populated. Along the highway passing through it, there aren&#8217;t many places to stop.

Both sold out their original venues and packed the newer larger ones to standing room only capacity. Both focused on the energy portions of the bill and featured Tom Plant, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Car sales are down in the United States. I don&#8217;t think we should be surprised. If you&#8217;re only a few years into payments on your SUV it&#8217;s unlikely that, with the extra pinch of gas prices, you have enough extra money just lying around to simply get rid of the car you&#8217;ve got and get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few years I&#8217;ve written now and again about energy. A little before the first post on energy I started working in the power industry and it&#8217;s been a fascinating adventure. My instincts for understanding things stem from my physics training and that usually means reductionism. Reduce interactions to as few rules as [...]]]></description>

In One Ear&#8230; Out the other writes &#8220;This means the decommissioning of many harmful coal plants along the coast who have the added problem of having to ship in coal.&#8221;
Would that that were true. Planting off shore wind turbines doesn&#8217;t mean we get to shut [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[General Motors has spent piles of money on it&#8217;s questionable advertising campaign &#8220;Live Green, Go Yellow&#8221; to promote the use of renewable bio-fuels. When I &#8216;go yellow&#8217; it&#8217;s usually a hint that I am not drinking enough water, but whatever. My real question is does using bio-fuel help reduce carbon?
Coal, oil, and other fossil fuels [...]]]></description>
