Green Papers: An integrated strategy and highly efficient model for producing biofuels and renewable energy.

March w0, 2007, Los Angeles, California (EnTV) - The concept that today's biomass and waste streams can become tomorrow's fuels, biofuels and renewable energy supersedes all other solutions in our quest for energy independence. According to the USDA, 55 million tons of corn, or one fifth of America's 268-million-ton harvest, were used to produce biofuels in 2006. New plant construction has already taken 2007 corn futures above $4.00 per bushel, a trend that is impacting the price of corn in livestock farming, food and exports, and which is placing the profitability of corn biofuels production at risk. The co-production of biofuels and renewable energy from organic wastes represents the world's most immediate, economically viable and virtually untapped source of renewable energy.

Creating a Revolution for Green Technologies & Entrepreneurs

March 20, 2007, Los Angeles, California (EnTV) - At the dawn of the 21st Century, we sit poised on the brink of this momentous shift, and already the staggering economic opportunities are being identified and invested in emerging green companies. It is no longer enough to create a startup that allows more people to tag, sort, comment upon, or remix the curiously low-quality artifacts of the early digital age. The challenge for those engineering startups or products for the world behind the screen is a cultural and sociological one: How do we use the power of the network to address the biggest challenges we are facing in the 21st century? If your big idea helps people navel-gaze more contemplatively but does not do anything to reduce the meltdown of the Greenland ice shelf, you are not thinking big enough. The next generation of products in the world will be green.

August 30, 2005, LOS ANGELES, California (Scott Stevens / WeatherWars.info) - These are both very Russian sounding names.  It has been established that the former Soviet Union (fSU) developed and boasted of weather modification technology during the 1960's and 70's with deployment against the United States coming in 1976 with the audible arrival of the woodpecker grid.

November 04, 2005, LOS ANGELES, California (Scott Stevens / WeatherWars.info) - It was during last years Florida hurricane turkey shoot, when I was wrestling with how best to share what I had recently discovered regarding the naturalness of those hurricanes let alone all of this planet's now very bizarre weather patterns, that I decided that I must start weatherwars.info. I feel very strongly that people must know what is happening, but more importantly people have the right to know why they/we are dealing with weather as crazy as it currently is. Now here we are approaching the end of yet another first of its kind Atlantic hurricane season; this season has has so many firsts that even the most hardened skeptic must begin to wonder: "What if?"

Is It Too Late?  
Written by Peter  
Thursday, 16 March 2006
MARCH 16, 2006 - One of the great books is my library is For The Common Good by Herman Daly and John Todd. It calls us to re-think economic policies using a different set of criteria to measure success. It is a little slower reading than the DaVinci Code, which I did not like and only read 60 pages or so, but this heavy duty book is well worth the effort because the two gentlemen who wrote it are well respected thinkers.
