IEA World Energy Outlook
The International Energy Agency has made a new comprehensive forecast of world energy from now until 2030. The conclusions are:
Current energy trends are patently unsustainable —socially, environmentally, economically
- Oil will remain the leading energy source but...
> The era of cheap oil is over, although price volatility will remain
> Oilfield decline is the key determinant of investment needs
> The oil market is undergoing major and lasting structural change, with national companies in the ascendancy
- To avoid "abrupt and irreversible" climate change we need a major decarbonisation of the world’s energy system

Rowan University confirms BlackLight's new disruptive energy source
BlackLight Power Inc. Announces Independent Replication of New Energy Source
CRANBURY, N.J., Oct 20, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Rowan University confirms BlackLight's new disruptive energy source
CRANBURY, N.J., Oct 20, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Rowan University confirms BlackLight's new disruptive energy source
BlackLight Power (BLP) Inc. today announced the successful independent
replication and validation of its 1,000 watt and 50,000 watt reactors
based on its proprietary new clean energy technology. This follows
BLP's May announcement that it had successfully tested a new
non-polluting energy source.
BLP's 50,000 watt
reactor generated over one million joules of energy in a precise
measurement made by Rowan University engineers, led by Dr. Peter
Jansson. The independent study included full characterization of a
proprietary solid fuel to generate the energy, before and after the
reaction.

XSF and the XS-NRG Prize (Executive Summary)
Unfortunately, the energy crisis is real. It is now widely accepted that the crisis is about to reach the critical point when only a “miracle” can turn the situation around and get us out of the “mess”-- a mess in which our lazy complacency with our own energy technology has pushed us into. Fortunately we can buy some time by stepping up conservation efforts and by deploying more and improving on existing (some quite old) clean alternative energy technologies such as solar, wind, geothermal, hydro and ocean wave, etc., switching to cleaner burning fuels such as hydrogen, biofuels, etc., or building improved nuclear reactors, fuel-cells and so on.
Well understood from a scientific and technological point of view, these "evolutionary" developments are necessary to start removing our society from the present addiction to fossil fuels, but none of them represent the quantum-leap clean energy revolution we need to avoid major problems in the near future and guarantee a sustainable development of human civilization for generations to come.

Scientific Anomalies and How the Mind Manages Them
Excerpts from the Keynote Address For Festschrift in Honor of the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) Lab’s Twentieth Anniversary -- By Elizabeth Lloyd Mayer, Ph.D.
... PEAR’s work hasn’t had an altogether easy reception in some of the quarters which house mainstream science. That’s no surprise to anybody who makes a business of scientific anomalies. Anomalies don’t invite widespread acceptance until they’ve stopped being anomalous. That’s normal science and it’s old news.
But I want today to suggest that just because it’s old news doesn’t mean it’s not worth a fresh look as interesting news. A fresh look that turns it into interesting news may do us the particular favor of enabling us to move beyond all those tired arguments over whether or not work like that being done at PEAR belongs in the register of what mainstream science likes to call science. Those are by now very tired arguments. As arguments they’re boring. They rarely convince anyone of anything and worse, they have a peculiarly draining quality which usually leads me to feel with Melville’s Bartelby the Scrivener that, invited to engage, I Prefer Not.

how long must i wait to be vindicated
The global collapse of world
economies and or global war with Russia over energy is occuring right
before our eyes-when will you wake to what is the foundation of any
civilized industrialized country- ENERGY- I HAVE SOLVED IT- pressure
Princeton university to replicate my experiment to verify- over 17
months i still wait- Lets see how long it takes to uncover
i believe my experiments will end the energy crisis via nuclear fusion- the only way i can prove it is to have a credible university repeat my experiment- because i hand built a tunable Tesla coil at 1 million volts to resonate within heavy water/deuteron for stable conduction of plasma arc-the experiment is very dangerous and i am grateful to god i survived;) however, what seems even harder than the experiment- is trying to convince my fellow American citizens- i am for real- remember this- soldiers fight and die for energy-our economy is about to be crippled-how long must i be ignored as i try my best to stimulate you to help force a university to just replicate my experiment for verification.

The Dark Universe and Limitless Dark Energy
By CambridgeBlog: Last week I explained what I argue to be the greatest theoretical challenge facing fundamental physics today; that the very concept of the spacetime continuum is flawed and in need of revision. This week I want to explain what I think is the very greatest challenge coming from the experimental and observational side. Science thrives on a dialogue between theory and experiment and when you put all this together you arrive, as I see it, at the most exciting time for theoretical physics for a century, perhaps even since the 17th century in terms of the expected level of shake-up.

Forget black holes, could the LHC trigger a Bose supernova?
The fellas at CERN have gone to great lengths to reassure us all
that they won’t destroy the planet (who says physicists are cold
hearted?).
The worry was that the collision of particles at the LHC’s high energies could create a black hole that would swallow the planet. We appear to be safe on that score but it turns out there’s another way in which some people think the LHC could cause a major explosion.

Scientists warn US Congress of cancer risk for cell phone use
OT but v. important news: The potential link between mobile telephones and brain cancer could be
similar to the link between lung cancer and smoking -- something
tobacco companies took 50 years to recognize, US scientists warned
Thursday.
Scientists are currently split on the level of danger the biological effects of the magnetic field emitted by cellular telephones poses to humans.
However, society "must not repeat the situation we had with the relationship between smoking and lung cancer where we ... waited until every 'i' was dotted and 't' was crossed before warnings were issued," said David Carpenter, director of the Institute of Health and Environment at the University of Albany, in testimony before a subcommittee of the US House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform.

Tom Bearden Website - new Bedini DVD released
Anthony Craddock writes: We are pleased to announce the Sixth DVD in the "Energy from the Vacuum"TM Science Series.
This one features John Bedini, and is entitled "Inside Radiant Energy - Dialogues with John Bedini." In this film, John fields a whole host of questions about what his perception of Radiant Energy is, and then he demonstrates its capture and performance on the bench.
Finally, in a candid give and take discussion, we get to see how John Bedini designs a circuit from scratch thinking about nothing but potentials. This is a completely unique experience, and there are several "AH-HA" moments when realization of this new paradigm's foundations are revealed, coupled with admiration for John for his ability to truly "think outside the box" in an almost completely uncharted field.

Simple device which uses electrical field could boost gas efficiency
With the high cost of gasoline and diesel fuel impacting costs for
automobiles, trucks, buses and the overall economy, a Temple University
physics professor has developed a simple device which could
dramatically improve fuel efficiency as much as 20 percent.
According to Rongjia Tao, Chair of Temple's Physics Department, the small device consists of an electrically charged tube that can be attached to the fuel line of a car's engine near the fuel injector. With the use of a power supply from the vehicle's battery, the device creates an electric field that thins fuel, or reduces its viscosity, so that smaller droplets are injected into the engine. That leads to more efficient and cleaner combustion than a standard fuel injector, he says.
