  • Can a Coming Energy Crisis Top the Wall Street Disaster?
    The recent Wall Street disaster reminds us that citizens cannot trust industry. Greed has invaded the most profitable companies to an unacceptable and destructive degree. US citizens must consider the banking crisis as a wake up call for preventing the oil and energy industries from creating an even more destructive energy catastrophe. We must outlaw fossil fuels and begin to produce renewable fuels for keeping the US secure.
  • Why Glaciers and Polar Ice are Melting Faster
    Melting of glaciers and ice sheets in Polar Regions is accelerating. This results in a faster rise of sea levels. Media and scientists express surprise that the polar ice around the North Pole is reacting this way. Ice melting can be understood when looking at the basic heat transfer processes that are at work in winter and in summer. Ice melting is the direct result of atmospheric carbon dioxide accumulation.
  • The High Costs of Solar Electric Power
    The USA must be the first to stop carbon dioxide emissions and must become independent of foreign oil imports. Converting solar energy into electric power is likely to become a mainstay technology. Costs of recently announced new installations and resulting costs of electricity generation are still very high. It would we wise to analyze and supervise present activities that are paid for by unsuspecting consumers.
  • A Comprehensive Plan for US Energy Independence
    The USA must become independent of foreign oil imports again, the world must halt global warming, and world economies must continue to grow. A comprehensive plan to achieve these objectives during the next decades is offered. The US has to stop burning of fossil fuels and must convert its electricity generation to renewable energies. Liquid transportation fuels must be produced from biologically recirculated carbon in biomass.
  • T. Boone Pickens, Visionary or Profiteer?
    Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel, produces the fewest emissions, and costs much less than petroleum fuels. T. Boone Pickens wants the US to use this fuel in cars, trucks, and buses. He also seeks to install more windmills across the US and begin the conversion of fossil fuel powered electricity generation to renewable fuels. Does T. Boone Pickens just want to make a buck or does he try to wake up this country?
  • Halt Global Warming by Stopping Fossil Fuel Combustion
    Global warming can be halted only by stopping all fossil fuel combustion. Electric power and liquid fuels must be produced by converting renewable energies. Technologies based on solar energy, wind power, marine power, and geothermal heat will eventually produce energy at affordable costs. Nuclear heat will become a major contributor. Processes for replacing petroleum with substitutes from biomass can be developed.
  • Biomass is Our Key to Plentiful and Affordable Liquid Fuels
    Ending global overheating can only be realized by stopping the burning of fossil fuels. Combustion of fossil fuels has provided the energy for driving the industrial revolution. We must now switch to renewable energies to save our Earth and to provide plentiful and affordable energy for the next several centuries. Without this changeover the world will self-destruct. We must replace fossil fuels with renewable energies.
  • We Can Break Oil Addiction Permanently
    Oil prices are skyrocketing, OPEC is taking control, and governments promote ineffective remedies. This article promotes three effective countermeasures; producing biomass without interfering with food production, converting biomass into a petroleum substitute, and powering electricity generation with renewable energies. Fossil fuels must be outlawed in a couple of decades or planet Earth will be damaged beyond repair.
  • Bad Energy Policies Will Harm World Economies
    Oil prices are skyrocketing and governments feel pressured to dispense placebos. This article dismisses the three most highly promoted solutions, which are energy conservation, Cap and Trade schemes, and increased oil drilling. All three are found ineffective in preventing the continuing overheating of our Earth. Instead, three other, highly effective countermeasures are proposed.
  • Securing Energy Independence for the USA
    Crude oil prices have topped $140. The US dollar is losing ground against the Euro. Increasing oil demand drives Wall Street speculation and puts OPEC in full control. A novel biomass concept can make the US energy self-sufficient. To develop the technology and use this concept, the US must establish an agency with the mission, program, and budget to make the US independent of foreign oil imports!
  • Breaking the OPEC Chains
    The world is entering the period when petroleum reserves are being depleted and transportation fuels are becoming scarce. Price gouging will result.Cars, trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes are wholly dependent on the supply of liquid fuels. When petroleum fuels become too costly, world economies will slow and fail.This article proposes a novel approach to produce liquid fuels from biomass forever and without endangering food production.
  • Excess Oil Profits or Healthy Economies?
    Oil prices are moving upwards. Economies across the world are slowing. We must stop the slowing of economies and find alternatives to halt price increases of engine fuels. Only one single solution promises success. We must begin to produce petroleum substitutes from biomass. There is one major constraint. We must never utilize arable lands for energy production. Therefore, we must learn to grow energy rich biomass on arid lands.
  • The Folly of Making Ethanol from Food Crops
    The article looks at the failure of corn ethanol to become a petroleum substitute. Low energy yields of corn ethanol have resulted in huge demands for grains. A combination of high world market prices for petroleum and US subsidies for ethanol has spawned a worldwide food crisis. Instead of ethanol and corn, we must find biomass with exceptionally high energy content and must develop new techniques to grow high energy biomass in arid areas.
  • Key Energy Technologies for Booming World Economies
    World economies will falter without the secure supply of plentiful and affordable energies. Fossil fuels are emitting harmful greenhouse gases. Three forms of energy can supply all energy needs and can be converted from inexhaustible energy sources: electricity, liquid fuels, and process gases. We must develop a few key technologies now to gain access to these virtually limitless energies. Otherwise, world economies will be harmed forever.
  • Petroleum, the Triple Threat to World Economies
    Global warming and climate change are caused by fossil fuel combustion. Accelerating energy consumption by China and India will increase average global temperatures 4 to 5 degrees Celsius in 2050 from those in 1900. Petroleum is the only transportation fuel. At an annual consumption of 50 billion barrels the reserves of 1 to 2.3 trillion barrels will run out in 20 to 50 years. Lack of transportation fuels will wreck economies.
  • The False Promise Of Ethanol
    The article deals with the efficiency of ethanol as motor fuel and with its ability to contribute to a reduction in global warming. Fossil fuels are the major contributors to global warming and resulting climate change. They must be replaced by carbon-neutral motor fuels very soon. Ethanol is being promoted in the USA as a major contributor to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and control of global warming. These claims are disputed.
