STUFF

I know. Friday afternoon . Who cares.

Goldman reversed last month's call on oil. Now saying oil could surpass recent highs by '12. Supply y demand. Brent fallen from $125 to $106, as Goldman predicted. So. Maybe they control the oil prices? For their own benefit? Could that possibly be? They do do the work of the Lord, they said in what, '08?

Vatican said climate change is melting world's glaciers. That can't be. Climate change is heresy. Um, only to US Republicans now. Will they leave the church over it? Oy.

Tidal gate across SF Bay proposed to manage sea rise. Those dang liberals again.

Tendril, leader in home automation/networking, to begin large-scale projects 2H11. Potential 25% cut in home E use. $300-400 installs. Utilities have to educate us to understand the benefits. 25% less bill. Um, educate us. GE an investor.

Kaiima (Israel comp) multiplies chromesomes for biofuel/ag crops. Not GMO - no material from other species. Polyploidy tech. Durum wheat has 4 sets of chromes. Wheat 6. I've seen 6-row barley personally. Grew it, harvested it, drank it. Yee-hoo. The large strawberries in stores today are polyploids. There's a word for the kids. Doesn't work well in humans or animals, tho. Down syndrome, (mad cow?). Polyploidy occurs in 1st stage of mitosis (cell splits in 2). Colchinine, harsh solvent, used. Kaiina uses gentler (kinder) process. Gives rise to stabler crops that don't revert to single chrome sets. Derived from cancer research. Kaiima "sustainability" in Hebrew.

Over long distance, high-volt direct current (HVDC) lines lose less power, cost less to build and more efficient than AC. Thank God we have some answers.

JP's quakenami cut into manufacturing of oxides for lith-ion batts. Also destroyed factories making mini DV tapes.

USDA, DOE gave out another $48M in biofuel grants. O, the spendthrifts. To optimize sorghum, turn paper waste into oil or sugar and develop farm biochem/biofuel production.

And Intel's new 3-D chips. 3 active sides. Trigate transistors.

Oops, Iraq to reset crude production goals for '17. Reducing to 6mb/d from 12. O well. We only lost how many American warrior lives and how much money? But reality is reality.

AMRS announced 25% rev gains, 28% gain in losses. G, that works.

Joule buying NM land for diesel/eth from sunlight and waste CO2 project. Can produce @ $20/bl (was $30). "Solar converter like no other." Water to organism captures CO2 and photons, manages therms ...

And so we go, migos. Stuff us with candy and beat us with a stick.
