*Formula E racing, the Formula One race organization announced in 2014 they will begin a series of races on the famous European tracks for Electric powered cars. This will be very exciting, top speeds will be about the same, but acceleration torque of electric motors is greater. And replace the smell gas/alcohol with clean air and the roar with a whir and a swoosh. What if NASCAR did this, radically change their customer base, you might actually meet women at the race that have never had a black eye.
*The Austrailians are joining the EU in carbon trading market in 2018 or sooner if possible. Switzerland, and Korea are preparing to join as well, and China indicates it will too. Carbon trading if you don't know gives clean companies an asset to sell, dirty companies have to buy, it creates another profit center, clean up your product and operation will increase profit.
*Germany swore to shut down all nuclear plants over the next few years. The nuke industry is shrieking like they're showering in the Bates Motel. Germany says they will not go to more coal or even gas fired plants, but succeed with solar and wind and other innovations, and use the existing fossil fuel plants less and less, for back up. Fossil fuel for back up, now that is one use I can honestly support.
*Lots of news about the arctic ice shelf being the smallest ever. But you have to go to out of mainstream sources to find out that it's worse than that. The ice that remains is the thinnest ever. Recently it was learned the Navy has mapped the arctic ice thickness for years to know where a sub could break through the ice and issue a well deserved nuclear hell on the vodka soaked Soviets. A review of these records show the ice is half to a quarter as thick as it was on average the last 50 years, easier to break through, but not so easy to hide in the freezer now.
