Paul Plimley and Victoria Gibson have formed the duo, You Are Here and are excited to announce their first podcast. This podcast contains samples from the first three musical works completed from their upcoming disk “Twilight Zone Love Affair”. Paul and Victoria discuss the meaning and the making of the three tracks, Condensed History Patterns, In A Ghana Havana and Sleepwalkers Vacation.

British Columbia's dirty natural gas secret

Three LNG projects in Squamish and Kitimat would require over 13,000 new fracking wells over the next 30 years between them. While industry and government tout this brand new fossil fuel industry as the 'cleanest LNG in the world' there’s little talk of the explosion in fracking operations it woul...#sustainable #futureA new poll by Abacus Data Inc. shows that Canadians believe climate change poses a serious and immediate threat that warrants an emergency response. Our politicians underestimate public opinion on #climateaction. Let’s make sure they hear it loud and clear this election: bit.ly/31BVSdE

Community members and legal experts are concerned about provisions in benefit agreements between First Nations and companies that ask leadership to dissuade their community members from speaking out against the project.#gosolar
"An innovative thermal battery being developed by Curtin University researchers will be key to a solar power system capable of producing electricity overnight, rivaling fossil fuels as a viable source of power for commercial and heavy industries around the world.
Professor Craig Buckley said the thermal battery was part of the Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) system being developed by United Sun Systems, which requires a battery to store and release energy to enable non-stop solar power generation.
"Storage has long been a stumbling point for renewable energy but our prototype thermal battery is able to store and, as required, release solar energy without reliance on sunlight at all times," Professor Buckley said.
"While a lithium battery stores electrical energy that can be used to provide electricity when the sun is not shining, this thermal battery stores heat from concentrated solar thermal, which can be used when the sun is not shining to run a turbine to produce electricity."
Development of this thermal battery for solar energy is one more step in science's quest to consider and refine every possibility to make forms of renewable energy viable as a completely reliable alternative to fossil fuels. The transition must start now.#EndofOil
"Plunging prices for batteries and renewables are driving an electric vehicle (EV) revolution so rapidly that the economics of oil “are now in relentless and irreversible decline.”
That’s the startling conclusion of a detailed new analysis for “professional investors” of the economics of EVs versus gasoline cars produced by BNP Paribas, the world’s eighth largest bank by total assets.
The report is good news for humanity because it means peak oil demand may be less than a decade away, which in turn means ambitious climate goals will be more affordable than previously thought."
Good for BNP Paribas; at last a bank is admitting what has been obvious if one disregards fossil fuel propaganda. Electric vehicles and renewable energy are the best choices economically, both in continually decreasing energy cost and long term benefits of not causing pollution and warming damages of oil. Now, when will all you other banks get with the program?
