According to The Guardian , the London offices of BP and Shell have been raided by European regulators investigating allegations they have "colluded" to rig oil prices for more than a decade.
I'm certainly not surprised--just another dirty business practice from the peddlers of dirty fossil fuels. Are you?

As if destroying the planet wasn't enough, climate change is set to make millions of people homeless and starving.
According to Economist and Climate Change expert Lord Stern, "... Hundreds of millions of people will be forced to leave their homelands because their crops and animals will have died. The trouble will come when they try to migrate into new lands, however. That will bring them into armed conflict with people already living there."
This seems an awfully high price to pay for fuel sources like gas and coal.

The prototype uses mirror facets aligned into a parabolic dish, focusing light onto smaller photovaltic panels, while the whole apparatus tracks the sun to ensure the perfect angle. Developments like this are putting us on track to have renewable, solar energy with prices that are competitive even with wasteful sources of energy like coal!
How's that for some good news?

Are you unfortunate enough to have a climate denier in your life? Do you suffer uninformed (or even worse, Fox News informed) opinions like;
"The climate's changed before and it'll change again… it's natural!"
"Greedy, dishonest scientists conspire to deceive us so they can steal more funding for their fake climate research!"
"Climategate!"
"Drill, baby, drill… whooohooo, 'Merica!"

Here's an interesting twist on electric transportation solutions. Imagine a road system that powers the entire nation, powers electric vehicles, communicates with vehicles, de-ices itself, reduces animal impacts, pays for itself, and is made from recycled materials. Meet the solar roadway.
Is this the answer we've been looking for? Cheap fuel powering electric cars... without all the hidden costs!
