Greener Gadgets Conference: “Design for the Age of Consequence”
Monday, den 2. March 2009
There was a portentous tone at this year’s Greener Gadgets Conference. Right out of the gates, scientist/DIY guru/inventor and keynote speaker Saul Griffith minced few words about global warming. He presented a dizzying array of graphs, charts and figures about our current energy consumption habits and the dire consequences that will almost certainly ensue if we continue at the rate we’re going. One such figure showed how the average American would have to carry 23lbs. of oil to fuel his or her daily energy habit. He stressed, in earnest, that we couldn’t… Continue reading Greener Gadgets Conference: “Design for the Age of Consequence”

Coen Brothers, Dispelling the Myth of “Clean” Coal
Monday, den 2. March 2009
The Coen Brothers have taken their unique view of the world and applied it to the myth of “clean” coal, directing a commercial spoof that seeks to dispel the fantasy of guilt-free fossil fuels as wishful thinking at best. The spot was created on behalf of the Reality Coalition, a non-profit project comprised of various environmental groups that challenge the coal industry’s claims that such an energy source exists, demanding they transform their operations and end their current advertising campaign.
