Editor’s note: This post is now obsolete. Only leaving it here because there are comments on the post.
Plans are to set up the redirect to the new site for R-Squared on Thursday the 18th. If you subscribe via an RSS feed, you will continue to receive the feed from the new location.
My first post at the new R-Squared will be a position statement. I will briefly cover my views on oil, coal, ethanol (cellulosic, corn, and sugarcane), renewable diesel (green and biodiesel), nuclear power, solar power, wind power, and climate change. That should provide a framework for initial discussions.
As always, suggestions are appreciated. Please let me know if you have questions or comments.

(With apologies!)
Hi Robert, as someone who appreciates your sober analysis of energy issues, do you think you could include algae derived fuels in your statement?
Furan-Degrading Bacterium Discovered.
Keeping in mind that: Half of all the scientists that have ever lived went to work this morning.
Looking forward to the new format!
