For those of you who have not heard of it Global Resource Corporation has discovered a new way to microwave any carbon source (including waste such as plastics) and get signifigant quantities of oil and gas. They are even claiming to get 18 times more energy than they put in. Their work is even being funded by DOE

Crude-oil prices have fallen about $14, or roughly 17 percent, from their July 14 peak of $78.40. After falling seven straight days, they rose slightly Wednesday in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, to $63.97, partly in reaction to a government report showing fuel inventories a bit lower than expected. But the overall price drop is expected to continue, and prices could fall much more in the weeks and months ahead. Read More

Tests of a deep-water well in the Gulf of Mexico could indicate a significant oil discovery, three companies announced Tuesday, in the first project to tap into a region that reportedly could boost U.S. oil and gas reserves by as much as 50 percent.

The Jack 2 well was drilled about 5.3 miles deep by U.S. oil company Chevron Corp., with partners Statoil ASA of Norway and Devon Energy Corp. of Oklahoma City. During the test, the Jack 2 well sustained a flow rate of more than 6,000 barrels of oil per day, Statoil said.

AFS Trinity Power Corporation today filed its patent application disclosing the company's new technology for an Extreme Hybrid(TM) car capable of carrying the average American motorist more than 250 miles on a single gallon of gasoline or ethanol.

http://www.evworld.com/...

"The Extreme Hybrid(TM) won't only cost less to operate on a daily basis, it will also be the first hybrid that will save enough money from reduced operating costs to more than offset the higher purchase price of the car," added Furia. "In fact, over five years, we estimate that the XH(TM) owner will be $11,000 ahead and, over 10 years, $22,000 ahead."

Came across some interesting information today regarding an plug in rav4, more below:

"The RAV4EV has a governed top speed of 80 miles per hour, and a range of 80-120 miles on a full charge. Mileage depends on the same factors as a traditional gasoline-powered vehicle, mainly tire drag and average speed (aerodynamic drag). The RAV4EV has 24 12-volt NiMH batteries capable of outputting 27.4kWh of energy."

http://en.wikipedia.org/...

OK, so maybe there is one catch after all. It doesn't use gas. At all. It's not a hybrid, it's an electric vehicle. The 'mpg' I'm listing here (166) is how far I can go on $3 of electricity, so it is a "mpg-cost-equivalent. You've probably never heard of this car, because there is a long list of people who don't want you to have one, including the manufacturers and oil cartels. In fact, these same people were successful in getting rid of the RAV4 EV back in 2003, via their lobbyists and marketing departments.

A team of University of California-Berkeley students and faculty, presenting an intriguing technology for creating bio-diesel fuel, has snagged the $25,000 top prize in a university contest sponsored by Intel Capital.

Aurora BioFuels, an alternative energy company, won both the first prize and the People's Choice Award at the finals for the eighth annual University of California-Berkeley Business Plan Competition, the university said.

According to UC-Berkeley, Aurora BioFuels has developed a way to create bio-diesel fuel with yields that are 125 times higher and have 50 percent lower costs than current production methods.

Intersting piece of information on new tires being developed:

http://www.newtechspy.com/...

"The Polyurethane elastomer auto tire has been in development since 2001 and Amerityre claims that it is superior to rubber in almost every way. Environmentally the tire uses 96% less energy to produce than rubber, is 100% recyclable and non-toxic."

" Performance figures are equally impressive with 45% less rolling resistance, giving the tire an average temperature 80˚F cooler than rubber, adding up to 10-20% better fuel economy."

"Lee Iacocca: "A material so dynamic, it will change the way tires are produced forever""
