Lots of people in Barcelona don’t have piped gas, but it doesn’t matter at all. When their canister of butane is about to run out, a man comes along the street yelling BUTAAAANNNNOOO!!!! and, after a brief conversation, he climbs up six flights of stairs with a new one on his back. Easy! It used…
Everyone says that the following picture, taken near Barcelona’s Forum site, is of a large solar panel cluster: Today I can reveal exclusively that it is in fact a huge, solar-powered Scalextric (PDF) track linking Catalunya with Valencia and the Balearics, which project managers believe will be completed before the AVE high-speed rail link to…
This is Celsa‘s bigger, badder steel recycling plant on the Castellbisbal side of the Llobregat, taken from the train on the way back from this wine tasting tour.

Un nou article de Richard A Muller en la Technology Review del MIT és pessimista sobre la producció de l’hidrogen. Hi ha dues opcions funcionals: La reforma per vapor de gas natural. Això és el mètode més barat i més popular, però produeix residus substancials de CO2: CH4 + H2O => CO + 3H2CO +…
