Photo via CSMonitor Politico reports that Rush Limbaugh spent a huge chunk of yesterday’s radio broadcast lambasting the Chevy Volt and the tax credits supporting them. Through the course of his ranting, it became clear — as it so often does — that Limbaugh has no idea what he’s talking about. In it, he asserted that “nobody wants” electric cars, and that they amount to nothing more than overpriced AIDS rib… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via EarthWatch Guest blogger Caroline Chisholm, head of marketing and communications globally for Earthwatch Institute , a non-profit organization dedicated to a sustainable environment, is swimming the English Channel in August to raise funds for Earthwatch initiatives. There is nothing like a deadline to galvanize the mind. The final hurdle before attempting my English Channel crossing was the prospect of a marathon six hour qualifying swim. This presented two major challenges. Firstly, I’ve never spent more than two and a half hours in the sea. And even that… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image via Gizmodo Some cyclists prefer style over safety, including when it comes to safety lighting. Cyglo Tyres appears to offer both, ditching the bulky bulb on the handlebars for LEDs embedded in the tires themselves. When spinning, they form a perfect circle of colored light. The best part is that the lights are powered by the spinning wheel itself. But there seems to be at least one significant design flaw…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via Gizmodo Houses are typically equipped with smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. But what about other pollutants? The Coway’s AP-1008 is made to detect and warn you when your air is getting too gross to breathe. Typically your sinus system and lungs do that job for you, but these days you can never be quite sure what you’re breathing in. Hence, the stylish air filter that glows different colors to indicate different pollution levels. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Using electroluminescent wire — copper cabling coated in reactive paint that emits light when in contact with electricity — and an LED light strip, one crafty maker transformed a bike into a safe vehicle, mainly because everyone stops to stare as it rolls by.

Photo via divemasterking2000 Nitrates are commonly found in groundwater, ending up there after they’re used for fertilizing crops or from storm-water run-off. Typically a contaminate to worry about, a group of engineers from Stanford University have figured out how to turn the problem of nitrates in the water in to a possible solution for energy generation. While their design started out as a nitrous oxide thruster for spacecraft, they figured out how it could also be used at wastewater treatment plants to turn decompose nitrous oxide gas into… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Why do climate deniers seem to revere satellite data? And why do some skeptics still blame global warming on solar activity?
