World Systems @ KSU

I think this is very exciting. Wind generators that can be used at a household scale for those already plugged into the grid could revolutionize energy production. It will be interesting to see if these wind generators become prevalent across the nation, or if they are blocked by the Not In My Backyard effect and other challenges. It would be nice to see these wind generators at a smaller, more manageable scale.

I didn't realize that there are three types of geothermal power plants. I have heard that this is a very intensive process, and the site even states that this process is not renewable in the traditional sense of the word. Nonetheless, it seems that this could be a very viable power source for many parts of the world.

This site seems like a pretty clear overview of the process of building strawbale homes. I'm also interested to check out the links to other traditional green building practices on the left side of the page.

This article highlights the concerns people have for the environment and type of work that young citizens do.

It is very interesting to see how GE has benefitted from the US's war on terror. 90 percent of GE's nuclear power plants could discharge radiation into the atmosphere. It is responsible for polluting 78 Superfund sites, and is pushing the government to overturn Superfund legislation. Fraud and poor safety for workers are also issues. Why don't we see this on the ecomagination commercials?

Someone's blog about the threat of World War 3, the nuclear apocolypse, multinational control by banks, and the hope that the people will rise up.  Pretty silly towards the end with the taoist stuff, could have done without this to make it more credible.
