I’m sitting at my computer this morning with my cup of coffee, watching a video called “Soil Carbon Cowboys” and getting inspired. Here, take a look:
Like many technophiles, I often get swept away by renewable energy technologies like wind turbines, solar arrays, and micro hydro because they seem like great solutions to fracking, tar sands development, and other extractive fossil fuel strategies.
