The coal lobby is concernced with the success of Al Gore's movie, "An Inconvenient Truth". Read the memo here.
They are raising (more) money to keep supporting professional skeptics that spread the counter-argument to global warming. (Clearly these guys were NOT among the 132 people in Califormia who died of heat exhaustion last week, and who were not in London when the it reached 45 degrees on the London buses).
The only people I can imagine buying that BS are the same people who believe that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Actually, coal may not be the enemy. In fact, coal may be the nearterm answer to reducing our carbon footprint. Check out this thread:
http://www.gm-volt.com/volt-discussion?forum=1&topic=46&page=1 The bottom line is that electric vehicles (or plug-in hybrids running in electric mode) produce only 1/3 the CO2 of a gas engine car. This is possible because modern big coal burning power plants are vastly more efficient than a gas engine, and electric distribution and storage is inherantly efficient. So even though coal looks dirty, it's a hell of a lot more clean than oil. And once we convert to electric vehicles, we can really start to explore energy alternatives. So, at least in the near term, I think coal is our friend, not our enemy. |
Perceptric Forum
According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network. Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network. The Perceptric Blog is where business partners in Perceptric Pty Limited, Chris Gilbey and Tom Koltai post thoughts, ideas, and links to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas with a particular focus on P2P. P2P can be considered as (a) The best Decongestant for the Internet (b) The most efficient Digital Distribution Channel that exists. Perceptric Thinkers are available to consult on the impact of disruptive technology. If your business is not disrupting someone else, it is probably being disrupted by others. The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people exceed their expectations. We try to help people redefine the ecosystem that they operate in, and understand the impact that digital technology is having - that they have not yet considered. Login
