a year of oil via the oil drum

I can't help but swipe and reprint this image from The Oil Drum because as is often noted, a picture is worth one thousand barrels of oil. Note the Eiffel Tower for scale.

Another way to conceptualize this picture is that in last ten years, 10 of those dirigables have been released into the atmosphere, whereby they may float about and melt glaciers, stir up the tundra and bubble into the oceans.

Terraforming. What is good for the Venus is good for the Earth.

For those interested in how new political developments are affecting the world of green automobiles, check out the Green Machines Road Trip (http://www.greenmachinestour.org/). It follows the story of a team of green bloggers that travel from Minnesota to Michigan writing about how fuel-efficient vehicles have been and will continue to transform America’s heartland. Also, provides links to commentary on the politics of green machines (http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/12/24/17371/067)

I wonder what digital sweatshop poor Jenya is working in - probably next door to the people farming MMORPG game items to sell on ebay, somewhere in southeast asia.

yeah, those guys make the big bucks

Unfortunately with virtual world hyperinflation the "big bucks" aren't worth as much as they used to be...
