This week I read some of Eaarth. It was really interesting. It talks about how through our energy practices we have altered the Earth beyond recognition, to the point where it is no longer the planet we have once lived on. It also talked about the original estimates for carbon capacity, which ended up being unreasonably high. As the World Burns: 50 Ways to Stay in Denial has remained very entertaining and informative as well, although it is a bit negative (but rightfully so). I've really enjoyed reading it. Currently the author is comparing the human race to robots whose only function is to burn carbon, which isn't exactly a happy thought.
I also read a few articles concerning Japan and what they are currently doing in regard to energy. Margaret also gave me an article about how the Japanese are finding potentially dangerous nuclear residue far from Fukushima, and what they are doing to attempt to mitigate that.
