Closed energy loop for Sydney

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 13/08/2011 - 7:29am

This video outlines http://daochienergy.com plan for integrating the creation of liquid fuel (Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene & Biodiesel) from local crops (especially algae used in sewage processing) and electric energy in a process that exploits the byproducts (and wastes) from one process to feed into the next as input. This circular integration produces distributed market risk for each process that results in overall greater pricing stability and consistency in greater total profitability.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 06/08/2011 - 3:04pm

Media Release 6/8/2011 Today activists from The Sydney Forest Defense Crew have staged a protest at the Harvey Norman Complex in Alexandria. The company is being targeted for selling furniture and flooring made from native forest timbers. 27-year-old Matthew Rider has scaled the building's atrium to suspend a banner that labels Australia's biggest furniture retailer 'Forest Destroyers'. The activists have also suspended a stereo system playing sounds of chainsaws and falling trees.
