BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Worldwide battle for water: Aug 19, 2:24am 1 review environment, poverty, sustainability
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7569453.stm; Chipper little video to one of the more pressing "Peak Moments" we will experience in our lifetimes -this one concerns water. In addition to Oil and Water, we also need to be acutely concerned with "Peak" Topsoil and "Peak" Food. Thanks again to the BBC for covering topics that get skipped in American "media".

Together, We Can Repower America | We Can Solve It | Invite: Aug 10, 5:46pm 2 reviews environment, renewable-energy
http://www.wecansolveit.org/page/invite/repoweramerica; I really like this ad. Simple and powerful. Two of messages really standout too me -one, that even though only a few notice the switches at first, it takes dozens to move & flip it... together. Secondly, whether intentional or not, the Iwo Jima symbolism was very strong for me. And rightly so, the corollary to what we need to do is WWII not the Apollo program in terms of % to GNP.

http://www.hybridcars.com/types-systems/making-61-mpg-car-ford-fiesta-econeti...; From the page: "What does it take to make a four-seater car that equals the gas mileage of hybrids sold in the States, but without the expensive battery pack and electric motors?" **** Stellar! Now add a hybrid system as an option for $3k and let it get 90mpg -on biodiesel! Ford -GIVE US THIS CAR!

Soccer Moms Rejoice! Hybrid Minivan on the Way. | Hybrid Cars: Jul 22, 5:08pm 1 review cars, environment, sustainability, hybrids
http://www.hybridcars.com/hybrid-drivers/soccer-moms-rejoice-hybrid-minivan-w...; Sounds like it is a loooooong way off -no prototype yet- but it is good to hear loud rumors of some kind of more fuel miserly people mover. One can dream of a plug in diesel hybrid Mazda 5 that is WVO ready right? Make the plug in and WVO as options rather than navigation and 8 spkr systems...
