Green Oil: Scientists Turn Algae Into Petroleum In 30 Minutes
2013-12-24 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Forbes: Scientists at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are claiming success in perfecting a method that can transform a pea-soupy solution of algae into crude oil by pressure cooking it for about 30 minutes. The process, called hydrothermal liquefaction, also works on other streams of organic matter, such as municipal sewage. And the crude oil created is lightweight and low in sulfur and can be dropped in to refineries that process fossil crudes. Its a bit like using a pressure cooker, only...
Canada: Alberta Families Fed Up With Energy Oil Fumes, Turn to the Courts

Google wins DARPAs robotics challenge, wonders if it was a good idea to turn down future military contracts

DARPA's Robotic Challenge took place in Florida over the weekend, pitting some of the world's most advanced humanoid robots against each other in a series of complex tasks, and rather fortuitously for a famously acquisitive Silicon Valley company, the winning robot was fielded by a company called Schaft -- a Japanese company that was recently acquired by Google as part of its rather sudden segue into robotics. Google now officially, and probably not unintentionally, has its hands on the best humanoid robot in all the land.
