Nature is an amazing thing. It is the ultimate conserver and recycler, wasting nothing with its rhythms and cycles. The water cycle is just such a process, whereby water is continually recycled through this wonderful and balanced system. In basic terms, the water cycle is the unceasing transportation...

The previous three posts in this series (1, 2 and 3) on coal electricity generation with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) have examined the technologies to capture carbon-dioxide from coal power plants, sequester captured carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere, and the economics of a coal power plant...

In 2009 global warming very much went global, with the sobering news that the continent of Antarctica is warming rapidly. Conversely, however, certain parts of Antarctica- particularly those near the southern polar region – appeared to be inexplicably cooling. January saw climatologist Eric Steig...

In my previous two posts (Carbon Capture Technologies and Carbon Sequestration Technologies), I took a look at some of the most promising technologies for capturing carbon-dioxide from coal-fired power plants and for sequestering captured carbon-dioxide for long time periods. When integrated, these technologies...

In my previous post, I talked about three of the most promising carbon capture technology systems that could be used to generate electricity from coal while separating out a purified carbon-dioxide stream, reducing the carbon-dioxide emissions of a coal power plant significantly (in the ballpark of a...
