Amazing photo from the history of green tech: a giant turbine blade slain. People stare at it like Lilliputians: http://is.gd/b7q3 |

Last Steven Chu tweet, promise. WiSci Primer on Obama's probable DOE pick: http://is.gd/b4I9 |

Here's a full hour of Steven Chu video put out by UC. http://is.gd/b4iM Get to know the man who looks like the next head of the DOE. |

Chu: "The price of photovoltaics will go down by a factor of 2 or 3. You can bank on it." |
We're buzzed about Chu as DOE head. And not just because we had an interview with him on the future of US science research in the can. |

Looking around for some sources on the psychology of corruption. Much harder to find than you might think. |

2/2 Fossil fuels get big subsidies, but they are huge industries. They shouldn't but on a % basis, they aren't getting much. Just saying. |
1/2 Comment coming RT @energy4america US energy subsidies: Coal $3.4B, Ethanol $3B, Oil&Gas $2.1B, Renewables $1.8B, Nuclear $1.3B |
