“first person to come up with a method to produce commercially viable quantities of in vitro meat at competitive prices by 2012.”

Speaking of challenges, there’s another pretty cool one going on right now that fits right in with the spirit of Earth Day. The X Prize Foundation has added another technological contest to their line-up. This one’s for the first to design an affordable car that gets 100 MPG.

With Earth Day right around the corner, I want to share Al Gore’s latest presentation on the environment. Using similarly impressive graphics as in his award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, he suggests the situation may be worse than we’d originally thought.

By the way, his latest book, The Assault On Reason, looks really good. It’s now available in hardcover, and, oddly enough, it actually costs less than the soon-to-be-released paperback. Weird. Anyway, I’ll probably add it to my growing stack of future reading.

So many books, so little time!

Ever feel you’re too small to make a difference when it comes to the environment? You’re not!

You can, no, you DO make a difference.

Speaking of global warming, with the new snow of the last two days in New Hampshire, we’ve reached the second spot in all-time snow totals for our state. The top honors go to the winter of 1873/4. That’s 134 years ago!
