Just used the 'invite to a group' feature for the first time. You can go to some of your diigo friends, and invite them to this group ;-}. It works like a charm.

I agree that biofuel is a dead end, and in fact is perhaps worse than the disease. I will cross-post some recent articles I have found on biofuels and the scramble for African land (and land elsewhere...
I just bookmarked superconductors.org, which appears to be one of the better information sources on superconductivity (though I've not gone in depth). At least, it gives a balanced view, avoids extrava...
Dear Group users: I've activated the forum, which allows posting in 7 categories: - renewable energy - energy efficiency, including conservation - clean carbon: cogeneration, carbon sequestration, eff...
Dear SE group members: It's starting to take more time to maintain the tag could of this group, and increasingly, synonym or rogue tags are slipping in. So therefore, you help please! - tag with disti...
Hi Hans: Thanks for the reply. Sadly, the Diigo folks have blocked enhanced crossposting to multiple groups, which means its kind of a hassle for me to double post articles. I'm already posting most ...
I'll check member requests more carefully. New members need to either submit an expression of interest, or demonstrate an interest in energy issues through their account profile. We'll endeavour to k...
Dear Colleagues: Happy new year to you all. We're now running since 18 months (75 weeks), and have accumulated over 2000 bookmarks and 80 members. That about 30 new bookmarks per week. For the coming...
Last week New Scientist reported that US emissions could be cut by more than 7 per cent if people changed their ways at home. Separate studies in US, Dutch and British homes have reported that 26 to 36 per cent of domestic energy use is "behavioural" – determined by the way we use machines, not the efficiency of the hardware itself.
This means that "machines designed to change humans", as the persuasive technology group of Stanford University, California, calls them, could save us huge amounts of energy and money.
Many projects are trying to make that happen, with two main motivations. One is to understand which facets of human nature can be manipulated to change behaviour. The other is to develop technical strategies to do so.
