Blog postThis morning I received this message on LinkedIn:
“I recently read your book The Silicon Valley Way and learned so much! I just wanted to say thank you for providing me with so much new knowledge I can now apply to my entrepreneurial ventures.” – Alexander
Thank you Alexander. The Silicon Valley Way, which was first published in 1998, continues to generate many invitations to speak at Stanford and at USF. It is on class reading lists. Visiting groups from ove -
Blog postThe Dirtiest Cities in the US Are in What State?
Quick Quiz: How Many of the Six Smoggiest Metro Areas in the US are in California? (as measured by ozone)
All of them
Only three of the top ten are outside of California – the list is below.
The July Discover Magazine published a troubling article written by Linda Marsa. Below are a few excerpts:
“On average, nearly four [California] Central Valley residents die prematurely every day because of [air] poll -
Blog postQuick quiz, complete the following sentence:
“For years, experts have said that most of the world’s major childhood diseases could be eliminated with clean water. What global burden suggests is that while lack of access to water and sanitation is a concern, five times worse for the world is____?
The answer surprises many: Smoke from cookstoves and kerosene lamps.
Of the global health dangers ranked by regions, HOUSEHOLD AIR POLLUTION is #2 in South Asia and in Sub Saha -
Blog postRecently there has been an increase in atmospheric methane. No one is sure why.
Methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. Unlike CO2 that can linger for centuries, methane does most of its warming in the first ten years after its release into the atmosphere.
Methane is a 70 to 100 times more potent greenhouse gas than CO2 during the first decade after it enters the atmosphere. In my book, Addicted to Energy, I call methane the blasting cap tha -
Blog postLast week I was In Houston for “Surge Day,” a coming out party for energy startups, and I was chatting with an executive at one of the major oil companies.
“The DOE claims you could double your reserves if you put enough CO2 in the ground,” I said. He was skeptical. “if that were true,” he said, “it would double the size of the US oil industry.”
“Yes,” I said, “and all the oil would have a negative carbon footprint.” He remained skeptical.
Thirty minutes later we -
Blog postIn April of 2011, I was invited to a dinner party at a swank Pacific Heights home where California’s Lt. Governor, Gavin Newsom, was speaking.
Newsom is a larger than life character. I had never met him before, but like Bill Clinton, he dominates a room when he enters it. Like Clinton, he demonstrates a tremendous grasp of the facts. And, like Clinton, his personal life has had very public problems. I should probably stop there.
At dinner I was seated next to -
Blog post2010 saw a frightening increase in CO2 emissions, higher than the worst case scenario used by climate experts just four years ago.
New data shows that 2010 was a trifecta of bad news: The world, the US, and China all produced record-breaking amounts of CO2. Unfortunately, it is a record we did not want to break. Frighteningly we broke it with 9% unemployment in the US and a world economy that is limping along. The record increase in CO2 emissions was driven by the growth of coal consu -
Blog postParisian Shared-Electric Bluecar
Paris officials hope to deploy about 3,000 shared electric cars in Paris next summer and 5,000 by 2013. To support the new system, called Autolib, Paris and the surrounding cities will install 1,000 charging stations.
The new Autolib system was inspired by the Parisian shared bike system. Despite some unanticipated problems—vandalism and theft—Paris’ bike system has been very popular with 20,000 bikes ridden over a million times a year. < -
Blog postGlobal warming contributes to all major weather events.
The air today contains more moisture that it did in the 20th century. Greenhouse gases, caused by the burning of coal, wood and oil, trap the sun’s heat, warming the air, evaporating more water and trapping more moisture in the air.
This combination of warmer air and more humidity contributes to heat waves. Paradoxically, this increase in moisture laden air can also create monster snowstorms, something that would be -
Blog postIn 2007, the Bush administration signed bipartisan legislation to improve light bulb efficiency by 30% between 2012 and 2014. The legislation does not ban incandescent bulbs; it just requires them to be more efficient. It also exempts small bulbs under 40 watts, large bulbs over 150 watts and 3-way bulbs until 2020.
Bulb manufacturers have figured out how to make some incandescent bulbs 30% more efficient. This Bush-era legislation continues to have the support from the National Elect
