My quote of the week

“When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it.” - Rumi

Forget Goldilocks - we won't need terraforming

Space is an unforgiving environment that can only be tamed for human habitation inside rotating cans. That said, once this is done the possibilities are astounding.

We need LNG as a fuel to clean the skies without breaking the bank. Methane-fueled vehicles could have an edge but they are pushed to the sidelines by lesser technologies. LNG Europe is a non-profit, an advocate, a lobbyist & an information center.
