A research team has officially created the first artificial organism. Aside from the many positive implications this has for medicine and the production of sustainable fuels, I’d like to know what this community thinks about the demonstration that life is no more and no less than complex chemicals reacting with one another. Nothing divine about it, it’s just chemistry.
Yay Biology!

Demonstration of the operation of a Vigas wood fuel boiler and fire wood processing. Vigas boilers employ the latest gasification down burning technology and have sophisticated electronic controls that ensure maximum efficiency and minimum emissions. Encouraging the use of renewable fuels.
I follow NASCAR only periodically – I have a favorite racer; however, after researching where the "Big 3" are going with electric powered cars (as well as the other manufacturers) and current initiatives underway by all to develop these cars – I am curious to know if NASCAR will follow suit or will they continue with fuel operated cars.
NASCAR is a great sport for a lot of dedicated fans – arguably can be considered the largest sport in North America. (Personally I am first and foremost an NHL Hockey fan, and as a Southern Californian who went to USC a BIG Trojan Football Fan – sports aside – this is a serious question).
I am looking for intelligent answers here – something that will allow me to do some research for fun. I recently was shown the new Chevy (by the engineer who designed it) that will be out in 3 years – all electric, and I am not big on the "quality" of American made cars; however, I have to admit this one REALLY caught my eye.

It seems they are still too expensive to purchase. Studies have said that if we do not cap greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2012 (or something near that), our global temperatures will rise higher than they have ever been, increase disease, famine, cause drought in some areas and excessive rainfall in others. This is small list of what would change if we don’t stop. It makes sense to do something now and make these energies more affordable for the people in the global community.
Do we have enough of it to run every car on the road without spiking the price due to increased demand?
What is the state of the global reserves of natural gas?
From Volume 39 Issue 4. Fossil fuels have long been the worlds energy source, but it wasnt always that way. Ancient Near Eastern cultures developed the first known wind mills for drawing water and grinding grains into flour. The modern three-blade, computer-controlled Wind Turbine does what all wind turbines have always done harness the energy from the earths constant flow of air. This program explores wind power alternative energy production in todays oil-dependent economy – how it works and the environmental factors that scientists are researching.
