Is this how your city does Bike Lanes?

Another great video from Streetfilms:

Anti-whaling effort picks up speed

Fifty knots worth. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society today announced its acquisition of the Batboat-like Earthrace -- renaming it the Ady Gil, and announcing plans to use it as (what else) an interceptor.

More after the jump.

Carbon storage - how it could work

Last year we had a good laugh at politicans who were saying America could be powered by "clean coal." What they were talking about, what they are still talking about, is carbon capture and storage (or sequestration). CO2 would be captured at the source, then -- disposed of. Somehow.

Of course this does nothing about the other part of the coal idiocy, the input side.  The environmental disaster caused in the course of mining coal is enough by itself to take coal generated electricity off the table.
