STRATEGIST: There's a decent chance the US government will bail out the oil industry - Yahoo Finance
Are you freaking kidding me? There is absolutely no way this should happen. If Congress even considers sending a dime of bailout money to the Oil Industry, I will be calling and writing my...
I was intrigued by a new movie available on Netflix called Virunga. It's a documentary about the efforts to save the critically endangered mountain gorillas in the Congo. The subtitle of the film is "Conservation is war". This subtitle is not misleading. For those of us in the West...
Fairly often, I take a peek on the other side of the fence and read articles that are on the opposing side of the environmental debate. The problem with that is that more often than not, it results with me bursting out with laughter. Take this gem from Fox News:
If only EPA stood for | Fox...
There's a recent editorial by Tom Steyer that made me think - How Climate Change Changed Me - POLITICO Magazine
After reading it, and reading the comments section below, I think it's worth having a discussion over how to handle Tuo quoque arguments in regards to the environmental/climate...
Just some nice shots of the Model S driving around in the UK, narrated by some guy with rad 90's-ish neon shoes.
2014 Tesla Model S expert car review - YouTube
I thought this was a pretty good video, nothing new in particular, but the visuals are great.
I don't see where this has been posted. This is too good of an article to not post:
Tesla CTO on Energy Storage: : Greentech Media
Some interesting tidbits:
I like that "peaky" is being used as an adjective. :D
TL; DR:
- Daily Caller has thrown it's credibility to the dogs and has made a mockery of science
- A sadly high number of people are embracing the deception
- Said people are also celebrating their alleged "defeat" of science
- The consequences of this aggressive ignorance could be the fall of...
I don't think this interview has been posted anywhere on this forum (if it has, please feel free to delete or merge)

I think this was a great interview with Elon while he was in China. Elon brings up an interesting...

This a thread for discussion on dealing with the carbon bubble, and addressing the question of Fossil Fuel divestment.
First, a very brief discussion of what the carbon bubble is. My personal definition is that the carbon bubble is the enormous amount of money invested in future fossil fuel...
For those not aware, the new Cosmos series premiers tonight. Yes, a new iteration of the famed Cosmos by Carl Sagan. To say that I am a fan of the original Cosmos would be an understatement, that TV show not only educated me but it changed the way I look at the world. I am still amazed at...
1. österreichischer Tesla Supercharger - YouTube
Some really nice footage of the Supercharger recently installed in St. Anton, Austria. :smile: It's pretty cool to see all those Model S's climb up the mountain and frolic through the snow. :biggrin:
Could anyone translate what the first two...
I know we already have a global warming thread, but sometimes a video comes along that is so outrageous that it deserves a spotlight of it's own.

Thought solar energy was free? Arizona proves it wrong - Energy Ticker - MarketWatch
This is important because utilities around the country could be doing the same thing very soon. The fee here was going to originally going to be $50 to $100 a month, which no doubt...
I'm here to argue that debunking science myths is an increasingly important skill for every person to have. We are constantly bombarded by false claims made by the media, corporations, front groups, political action committees, elected officials, and other institutions. This can cause huge...
It doesn't look like this has been posted yet, and it's too cool to not post about. It's a mobile solar powered charging station, with energy storage. This is apparently new, so I'm not sure if it's actually been installed anywhere yet. I see something like being useful for far-away, remote...
I really like Big Think, I've watched a large amount of their videos on Youtube. If you haven't, it's highly worth your time. It has speakers such as Neil Degrasse Tyson, Lawrence Krauss, and Michio Kaku. A lot of interesting science and technology related topics.
Anyway, this video is...
Another link-baiting, FUDish headline from Motley Fool. :rolleyes: Of course I did take the bait and read the article, which was fairly interesting:

I want to bring this up though:
It sounds like the current electric grid could...
An interesting MF article:
What If Tesla Took 500,000 Gas-Guzzlers Off the Road? (TSLA)
I posted this in the investment section, with the hope that people more financially saavy then me would crunch the numbers. I think the numbers in the article may be flawed as the author seems to be...

While installing solar panels on just one building in Washington DC doesn't do much for climate change, it's hard to ignore the cultural significance of solar panels on the roof of the...
