Solar Cells at the nanoscale

By Eco Guy 9:19am 28th September 2010
it appears that some recent research is promising to improve the efficiency of solar cell light capture by up to 12 times..

The video is included below; I recommend that those easily offended (and any children) are excluded from seeing it.



Now if you are like me, you will find the video absolutely horrid on so many levels:

  • The use of children
  • The blowing up of children
  • The blowing up of children in the presence of other children
  • The killing of those who happen to just disagree with them
  • The lying about 'its OK' then blowing people up
  • etc, etc
Basically, which planet are these people on? Certainly not this one.

Now, don't get me wrong, I care about the planet and the environment; but this is part of a larger 'wrong' - in that carbon trading will actually do nothing demonstrable to 'fix' the climate. Yes, you heard me right, I care about the environment, but I'm against carbon trading. See this article for the real drivers behind it and hence why I think carbon trading will actually do more general harm (and very specific harm to the 3rd world) than good.

Also watch this video.


Basically, carbon trading is not going to fix a thing, in fact it makes a lot of things far worse.

Mind you, it might not end up working at all if the current prices at the Chicago Climate Exchange is anything to go by (see this article), if carbon gets any less in price it will be totally worthless.



If you do agree with me, feel free to use the social linking buttons on the top right to share; link to this or just rate this below. The more people who see this the better I think, as it makes people really think about what they are being told and the bigger picture. Thanks!
