The Coming Collapse of the European Union :: Stonegate Institute
2012-01-03 18:10:00 How could so many clever people get it so wrong?

Europe as it has been built may appear ...

Africa's Hot Deserts Could Power Entire Continent
2008-06-07 16:35:00 Solar power from Africa's deserts could supply all 600 million citizens currently without electricity and even export power to Europe, a green energy conference in Nairobi heard Thursday. The ferocious desert sun could provide the energy equivalent of 1.5 barrels of oil per square kilometer, said Gerhard Knies, project manager for Trans-Mediterranean Renewable Energy Cooperation (TREC), at a meeting of nine African states. "The largest source of energy is the solar radiation (and) the best place to receive solar radiation is the desert," he told reporters at the start of meeting of 20 parliamentarians in Kenya. "Deserts get 700 times more energy per year than all human kind is using," he explained. "It is as if a layer of 25 centimeters (10 inches) of oil is falling down in the deserts year after year." The legislators from Burundi, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Rwanda Tanzania, Uganda and the Seychelles are at the conference to discuss energy access for the poor. "T...

Will You Be Covered On The Continent?
2008-05-30 23:32:00 In many respects the world is getting smaller - and it's now almost as easy to drive across Europe as it is to drive across the UK. However, while driving abroad may be simple, the level of car insurance required is still foreign to many of us.All UK car insurance providers must supply the minimum level of cover when you travel across countries within the European Union. Yet for the many drivers who have comprehensive cover in Britain, this will mean their policies are downgraded when they travel overseas.According to research from Defaqto, the independent financial data analyst, 21 per cent of car insurance policies available do not provide comprehensive foreign use as standard. Instead, it is necessary for policyholders to pay an additional premium to secure the level of cover they require.There are variations too regarding the period you are covered for. Around a third of all insurers provide 60 days or less cover during a 12month period with 46 per cent offering 90 days or more...

Modec to start EV van exports to the Continent
2007-10-29 03:38:00 The all-electric Modec compact delivery van, known for being the choice model for British supermarkets Tesco, has been shown to prospective buyers in Amsterdam (in a left-hand version) during the Dutch Road Transport Exhibition. Modec has just opened a new office in the Netherlands and the first Dutch customers are small companies in the metro area of Amsterdam. This Modec van has a 102 HP electric motor which can compete with diesel-powered counterparts, although the maximum speed is limited to 80 km/h (50 mph). The maximum distance these vans can run is 160 km (100 miles), which is enough for local services. The truck uses lithium batteries.The van is available in many configurations: truck, open truck, panel van, refrigerated truck. And it's a model designed from scratch for electric use, instead of being a conversion model. Looks like they're on to something here.

A Conquered Continent: The True Relationship Between Europe and America
2007-10-25 16:05:00 by Chris Floyd The cartoon version America's relationship to Europe – and a cartoon version is of course the only version of foreign relations on offer in the corporate media – goes something like this: Old World and New World are now more estranged from one another than at any time in living memory, due to the Bush Administration's aggressive policies and disdain for international institutions and diplomatic niceties. In America, those on the Right think this cartoon is a good thing: Europe is weak, crumbling, Godless, on the wrong side of history, on the brink of being devoured by the Islamic caliphate, etc., etc.; who cares what those panty-waist pinkos think? Those on the left regard the cartoon as a calamity: See how Bush has thrown away 60 years of amity and cooperation with our strongest allies, the great civilized democracies, leaving America isolated and feared in the world. Of course, the truth of the matter is that the cartoon is wrong. There is not ...

Europe, the Killer Continent
2007-07-21 03:51:00 A quote from Ralph Peters in an interview at Frontpage Mag, 19 July 2007 [T]he notion that Europe, the continent that’s exported more death and destruction than any other, is going to just shuffle wimpily to its doom is crazy. The Europeans have been playing pacifist dress-up while [America] protected them, but, sufficiently threatened, they’ll revert to their historical pattern – which is to over-react. Europe’s Muslims may prove to be the real endangered species; after all, Europe’s history of dealing with rejected minorities veers between genocide and, for the lucky, ethnic cleansing. For me, the question isn’t whether Muslims will take over Europe, but whether Europe will simply expel them or kill any number of them first. Sound far-fetched? How would the Holocaust have sounded to an educated German (or Brit, or American) in 1932? Europe is a killer continent. When the chips are down, it will kill again.Meanwhile, Europe’s Muslims are behavi...
