Their free online magazine is greener than ever!
I’ve written an unusual science fiction novel “Anti-Vigilante and The Rips in Time”. Creating my own world, peoples and language, the book is a “preventable vision of the future” with its hooks deep into renewable energy and the impending World Water Wars. The science in my book utilizes ocean energy and photovoltaics to power their daily world. People from the past become the Gods of the Future as they appear through the Rips in Time.
You can find “Anti-Vigilante and the Rips in Time” at Amazon.com today, just follow this link:

Torrefaction: Torrefaction is the roasting of wood or other biomass to create a product that (1) has increased energy density; (2) has characteristics that make it easy to handle and transport; and (3) is practical to co-fire in existing coal plants.

If I lived closer to Sacramento, I’d love to attend this workshop. Desalination is a vastly underused resource that creates clean drinking water from ocean salt water!
The Public Workshop will be held on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. at the Joe Serna Jr.-Cal/EPA Headquarters Building, State Water Resources Control Board
Coastal Hearing Room. The address is: 1001 “I” Street, Second Floor, Sacramento, CA 95814.
