The End Of Cheap Oil

A sustainable society is one that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

Are we doing the right thing to our future generations? It has been a concern for all of us that may have opened their eyes. We cannot deny the fact that our society is so attached to the fossil fuel and the biggest respects goes to scientist who are working their ass of creating new source of green technology.

I just hope that we can all be dependent on green technology in a decade from now on. We'll have to wait and live until that time. If we get the time.

Chernobyl After 30 Years

Back in 1986, a flawed reactor design married with serious mistakes made by plant workers led to one of the world’s worst nuclear accidents: the Chernobyl disaster. The explosion and fires caused some 5% of the radioactive reactor core to seep into the environment and downwind, leading to a 30 kilometer (18.5 mile) exclusion zone around the plant that is still in effect today.

49,360 people residing in the nearby city of Pripyat had to be evacuated within 36 hours of the accident, followed by an additional 70,000 people from surrounding areas over the next few weeks. It’s safe to say that the area is a ghost town, barely touched by humans for the past 30 years.

Now, British filmmaker Danny Cooke is allowing us to peer into this eerie and haunting place with his new short film, which includes footage captured by a drone that was flown into the area. And it’s pretty harrowing. Check it out here:

Science: Largest Glacier Caving Caught On Video at Greenand, 2008. Horrifying and Worrisome.

This is a call from from technoblogzine for us to reconsider what we have done to our nature. The call for encouraging action on climate change. 

On May 28, 2008, Adam LeWinter and Director Jeff Orlowski filmed a historic breakup at the Ilulissat Glacier in Western Greenland. The calving event lasted for 75 minutes and the glacier retreated a full mile across a calving face three miles wide. The height of the ice is about 3,000 feet, 300-400 feet above water and the rest below water.

Chasing Ice won the award for Excellence in Cinematography at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and the Best Documentary from the International Press Association. It has won over 30 awards at festivals worldwide. Still playing in theaters worldwide.
