		<description><![CDATA[Fremont, CA, based Solyndra announces a new photovoltaic system that can be mounted less expensively, resists winds, and is efficient collecting solar radiation from 360° without sun tracking systems.

There are three TV spots out at this time. You can watch Pickens&#8217; whiteboard presentation on his web site. I admit it. His direct speech and logic are appealing. [...]]]></description>

One more reason to be building alternative sources while simultaneously improving efficiency by magnitudes. Thanks to The Arlington Institute for publicizing this.

		<description><![CDATA[Scientific American (www.SciAm.com) reports on a technology that can create cement from the carbon dioxide exhaust from power plants. It&#8217;s an intriguing idea. Each ton of cement created in this manner would sequester a half ton of CO2.

		<description><![CDATA[My wife had me listen to this incredible electric guitar performance of Pachelbel&#8217;s Canon. Reminds me of the electric guitar version of Bach&#8217;s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor that was a rage a few years ago. (Now there are many interesting rock interpretations &#8212; just check out the selection on YouTube.)
