SEV-US plans to participate in similar funding programs in California, Missouri, New York and Texas. Bryan Hansel, CEO of SEV-US. Earlier post.)
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected 27 projects for more than $37 million in funding to accelerate the technological and commercial readiness of emerging marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) technologies, which seek to generate renewable electricity from oceans and free-flowing rivers and streams. DOE Funding: $160,000.
HITEMMP projects include: Michigan State University. Michigan State University’s HIPPED technology is a highly scalable heat exchanger suited for high-efficiency power generation systems that use supercritical CO 2 as a working fluid and operate at high temperature and high pressure. MissouriUniversity of Science and Technology.
New research by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Carnegie Mellon University, SRI International and the University of Colorado at Boulder shows that drone-based delivery could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy use in the transportation sector. An open-access paper on the research appears in Nature Communications.
The EPA’s target reduction reflects the technical challenges and high costs of commercializing so-called second-generation biofuels. Instead of the 950 million liters required initially under the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act, the final target will be a much smaller 25 million liters. per gallon import tariff and $0.45

The Fort Nelson project is on track to become one of the first commercial-scale carbon capture and storage projects in a saline aquifer in North America. These earlier phases determined that the PCOR partnership region has the geological potential to sequester more than half of the region’s anticipated CO2 emissions over the next 100 years.
When I spoke out against the home-porting of the battleship Missouri with its nuclear tomahawk cruise missile arsenal, the folks at the Alliance for Survival called and asked me, “Do you just talk about stuff or do you DO anything too?” So I wrote some more screenplays and began developing TV sitcoms that nobody wanted to produce either.
