I’ll let them do the talking: “As the structures of modern society crumble, this video contemplates a set of unexamined assumptions that form the very basis of our civilization. In a beautifully shot 25-minute retrospective, it asks us to reflect on the state of the world and ourselves–and to listen more closely to what is being asked of us at this time of unprecedented global transformation.
It’s 2010….let’s do this right. We need everyone’s help.
Recently, a hacker leaked thousands of emails and documents from the University of East Anglia’s (UEA) Hadley Climate Research Unit which point toward Global Warming being a hoax.
Fisker’s been all around the blogosphere lately. Of course we all heard about the $529 million loan they just received from the Department of Energy.
They just opened their flagship retail store in Los Angeles with 32 planned locations across the US.
LA Dealer, Mike Sullivan says they’ve already had 120 reservations for the plug-in hybrid, of which 2/3rd of those he says “you would recognize on the cover of a magazine.” Even with that being said, he’s confident he’ll be able to sell 15 per month once they’re in full production. Sounds like wishful thinking to me, judging by all the hurdles Tesla’s had to go through thus far. That being said, if all 32 locations could keep up with Mike’s forcast, that’d be 9600 Karmas in the first year.
Even further on the celebrity tip, we just learned that, believe or not, the Karma was actually inspired by Leonardo Dicapprio.
It’s also not much of a surprise to hear that Tesla CEO, Elon Musk has “some reservations about the feasibility of Fisker’s approach.” He thinks “Fisker is very far from overcoming those [engineering obstacles to build an electric car].”
Whether Musk’s statements are valid or not doesn’t take away from the fact that it’ll be exciting to see how everything pans out for Fisker.
I want them to succeed, I mean, how else is the price going to get driven down so I can buy one? Keep up the good work guys.
Sharp just announced a new record in solar cell conversion efficiency.
The new material is a high-efficiency crystalline compound called indium-gallium-arsenide which assisted in bumping the record from previous 31.5% to 35.8% efficiency.
Well done Sharp, wonder who will push it over 40%, any ideas?
