An Energy Mystery: Electricity Vampires, or Where is the Power Going? : read more

Posted January 8th, 2009 by bromley

Calera Cement and Khosla Ventures : read more

Posted July 31st, 2008 by vivadiem

Calera cement, funded by Vinod Khosla, which would take CO2 from the air to make cement and contour crafting which is a technology for printing buildings to speed up construction by 100 timees.

Vinod Khosla is pouring his own millions into science experiments to counter global warming — and to prove he’s the smartest guy in the Valley.

Making cement without also making carbon dioxide seems impossible; the basic chemistry of the process releases the gas. But maybe that’s not really true, Stanford University scientist Brent Contstantz began thinking last year.
