Earth Day 2008: Thoughts From Gas 2.0

Clayton B. Cornell — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:29:59 +0000

Today is Earth Day, and it’s a great day to remind ourselves why we’re interested in things like renewable fuels and green car technology. It’s also a day to think about the role each of us plays in local and international environmental issues, from air pollution to the increasing cost of food.

Instead of bombarding you with tips on how to save gas or have a car-free day, I think everyone should take a few minutes to contemplate the local context in which these issues are playing out.

Practically speaking, the issues we’re facing can seem to overwhelm individual or even collective action. Oil is moving merrily toward economic depletion, public transportation is often nightmarish, and finding a realistic green car is almost oxymoronic.

This has been a great month for Gas 2.0, and in no small way due to the incredible stories we’re hearing every day about new green-car tech, non-food based biofuels, and big scientific breakthroughs.

Besides getting back into the swing of things after some down-time in February, we were lucky to add Benjamin F.T. Jones to our writing team. Ben’s covered some of the most popular stories here this month, including the Subaru’s STI diesel, the all-electric Lightning GT, and a Japanese man’s attempt to sail across the Pacific in a wave-powered boat. See all of Ben’s posts here.

Thanks to everyone who’s followed the biofuel blog here at GreenOptions.

In November, we launched a new blog, Gas 2.0 (http://gas2.org), which is entirely dedicated to covering biofuels, with news, analysis, and how-to information on moving away from petroleum as a fuel source.

If you’re interested in using alternative fuels, or just want to keep up with the latest news on algae biodiesel or cellulosic ethanol, take a look at Gas 2.0.

Happy New Year From Gas 2.0

The team here at Gas 2.0 would like to wish you all a Happy New Year.

After we all recover from the busy holiday season, you can expect things to start rolling with on-site coverage of the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). I’ll be traveling to a wintry Detroit, Michigan, to see the cutting edge of automobile manufacturing.

You can also expect to see our regular coverage of biofuel news continue, including more hands-on content and useful resources for those interested in the ‘how-to’s’ of alternative fuels.

Thanks for being a part of Gas 2.0, and for your interest in the fuel revolution.

Happy 2008.
