Costa Rican Earthquake

I know this isn't 100% related to energy, and that it isn't a video, but I thought I'd let everyone know that I survived the earthquake in Costa Rica a few weeks ago. I also wanted to share with you some images that I came across that shows the extreme severity of what happened. I already wrote about it in my Costa Rican blog, so I'll just link to the earthquake photos from here. I hope you enjoy the photos. It certainly shows the kind of energy that is produced in the earth's massive, radioactive core. More on this later. Here are the photos:

Greenpeace Video - Renewable Energy



Two billion people have no modern energy supply, no power to pump clean water, no cold storage for medicines. Smoke from cooking fires kills nearly 2 million people each year. It doesn't have to be like this. Coal, oil, gas, nuclear - no thank you. The wind can provide four times the energy we need. Clean, affordable, endless. Choose positive energy. Greenpeace.
