Cars Produce More Power than Power Plants
- and said:
This either shows that the cars we make are exceedingly powerful, or that electric cars cannot be an immediate solution since our power plants don’t have the capacity to handle the power needs of vehicular transportation.

Utah’s Four-day Workweek Experiment: Did It Work?
- and said:
As a chemistry grad student working 6 10s, I feel oppressed. Hopefully working my butt off for 4 years will help me land a lazy government job. At least my commute is just a 10 min. bike ride.

Calcutta Bans Commercial Clunkers, Immediately Improving Air Quality and Stirring Controversy
- and said:
I think I’m moving to Calcutta to open a bike shop.It’s hard to imagine the police ’seizing’ almost 80,000 vehicles. That’s some serious manpower. Can you imagine that happening in the US? Maybe their police are more effective since there are harsher punishments for disobedience.Regardless, I think this is great news and it sets a good example not only for other crowded Asian cities, but all of the worlds metropolitan areas.

Nissan Leaf EV to Hit Market in Late 2010
- and said:
Wow, looks great; it’s surprisingly large for an all-electric. Nissan’s been under the radar lately amid the discussions on the plight of the large automakers. Good job leading by doing, and setting an example, instead of making promises and asking for money.

Superb Idea: Alternative Uses for Everyday Things
- and said:
Interesting, but I agree that the website is horrible. In addition to what’s mentioned, it’s very awkward to simply browse the site, and the pages have super tiny text in big green boxes with lots of clutter. Okay, enough complaining. Oh, lubricate your bike chain with olive oil. That sounds like a great idea.

anonymous #4: Paper towels for cleaning mugs shouldn’t be as expensive as buying disposable cups, and it is pretty environmentally unfriendly to use disposable cups, plastic styrofoam paper or whatever. Why are paper towels so necessary anyways? You need to dry a mug before putting water in it? Strange
