Bioroot Energy

The answer isn’t more ethanol. It’s ENVIROLENE®

Energy in America: Ethanol concerns bring customers to more costly ‘pure’ gas stations

Only one clean fuel can pick up where ethanol runs out of…gas. (Pun intended.)

Corn ethanol isn’t the best “oxygenate” fuel by any stretch, but it can’t ruin transmissions and radiators. The article linked below quotes a distraught, confused woman who blames ethanol for her car’s problems. Hilarious, but it doesn’t diminish what’s being said about increasing the ethanol blend wall to 15 percent [...]

Global warming threatens pine forests

Link to Washington Post article

The blaring headline reads:

Global warming threatens pine forests, forcing federal officials to shift strategy

More Band Aids. Watching Rome burn and fiddling. Bioroot Energy is headquartered in the middle of the beetle kill epidemic in western Montana and there is no way that treating individual trees can stop or shorten this mortality event in our western forests. None. We must get in front of the underlying problem and rethink what’s driving it.

It’s the American Way

NYT Environment blogger Andrew Revkin rocks it with a tune about America’s fossil energy addiction. This song, by “Andy Revkin,” relates the history of humanity’s dirty relationship with fossil fuels.

Homo Sapiens have a sacred duty to steward the natural environment and protect it from degradation or outright destruction. It’s a sobering thought that humanity might have better luck deflecting asteroids away from a terrestrial encounter than doing anything substantive to fix the atmosphere now being used [...]

The High Price of Cheap Energy

Jay — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 11:32:04 +0000

Affordable and clean, renewable, liquid energy isn’t a money problem or a technology problem. It’s a social problem.

Margaret Mead once said, “The only person who likes change is a wet baby.” To which Hunter Lovins added: ”And the baby squalls all the way through the process.”

Gas isn’t cheap anymore, and unlikely to ever be cheap again. And the price of a clean environment? Going right through the roof as the climate warms, pollution increases, and America [...]

The Earth Is Full

Is the world’s addiction to fossil energy a technology problem or a money problem? No, it’s a social problem. Fix your orientation to fossil energy and you begin to fix the problems of fossil energy. Not until.

Posted today in the Opinion section on CNN’s web site. How ironic. As if there was any doubt that the writing is on the wall. If we don’t change the insane, delusional social and economic shell games we’re playing with [...]

Are you a fossil energy zombie?

Jay — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:24:08 +0000

Could this describe you?

Fill your fuel tank with a toxic fuel, set it afire and spray emissions out your tailpipe every day? Leave your computer on overnight, every night? You hate the high price of gasoline but pay it anyway because you believe you have no choice? You think the people and companies behind ENVIROLENE® are dreamers? You think a clean fuel that makes money and doesn’t pollute is too good to be true? You think a clean [...]

Dr. James Hansen gives it to you straight, no chaser

Jay — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 01:36:12 +0000

The evidence is overwhelming. And still some will argue about climate change. Man made or natural cycling of the environment? Who cares, the climate is changing and mankind’s use of fossil energy is at least partly responsible for driving this feedback loop.

Dr. James Hansen heads the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City, a part of the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. He has held this position since 1981. [...]

GE rejects Republicans’ climate change doubts

Jay — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:26:18 +0000

GE gets it. The climate change argument is over. The atmosphere is heating up, the oceans are rising, habitat is disappearing, and pollution from fossil energy combustion emissions is running rampant. Regardless of the reasons, do you really want to deny any of this is happening on your watch, dear reader of the moment? Go right ahead, but don’t say you haven’t been warned. Listen to GE, they have no particular political agenda here other [...]

2012: The Year Shift Happens

Jay — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:38:39 +0000

Evidence of fossil energy pollution might be over our heads, but it’s still everybody’s problem in need of a solution.

Ready for shift to hit the fan from all directions?

Warmer winters, hotter summers, more volatile weather, drought and retreating glaciers, etc. And rising energy prices to go along with rising emissions and sea levels. Ready for increasingly expensive change? Every product or service with an energy cost (what doesn’t?) will cost more.

Ready to be disappointed by elected [...]
