Energy the way its meant to be done, in 2020
In 2020 peak oil will be a much more evident and investigated problem than it already is today. While alterior energy sources are being explored and utilized now, advancements in these sources are the key to maintaining cheap, reliable, energy. The first and foremost thing I feel scientists of humanity must focus on is steering away from solar panels to capture sunlight energy, Nature has already created a much more powerful solar power facility. The compound chlorophyll is the major player in photosynthesis, the origin of almost all organic energy. We need to stop playing with silly solar panels that merely strip electrons from sunlight, and focus on making a chlorophyll powered solar generator than can power a house for the entire day without the need of intensive maintenance and cleaning. Also combustion engines are going to need to go back to the wood burning pyrolysis mechanisms used in vehicles during WW2. We can run vehicles off of burning wood and wood is a renewable, natural, resource.
So during christmas day in 2020, I will be cooking a turkey powered by my roof-mounted chlorophyll power plant. Then I will hop in my jeep fitted with a wood-burning engine, throw a few logs in the pyrolysis chamber, wait 20 minutes and head to the liquor store to buy some booze.

+1 for creativity, certainly. But I am a little curious about what you are proposing. Using the photosynthetic process to produce electricity certainly sounds appealing, but I am not sure it would be able to generate enough juice.
Do you have any articles or sources where research in this field is taking place?

While I cant give you links to the few journal articles i have read. There is a pretty basic overview of the situation and the problems scientists are facing here: http://whyfiles.org/shorties/photosyn.html
It can definately produce enough juice, as I said in the blog photosynthesis is responsible for all energy used by all plants and animals.

Wow. The technology may be a little far away, but it looks awesome.

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More
The meal
It is 7'oclock, I was late home from work due to an assignment that i wanted to get ahead on. By the time I get home I am feeling extremley tired and I cannot be bothered to make a proper meal. I walk to the fridge and open it to see what there is for me to eat.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
