M. Gorbachev
spoke in Santa Fe in April. He called for a new global glasnost, and radical reforms to meet the challenges of the 21st century. 'History is not pre-ordained', he said (by way of encouragement). Here is an excellent overview of his speech from Cheryl Rofer on TechnoRati, and here is Stephen Fox's blog on the subject.

Saturday April 26th: Special Earth-Day Event at Ecoversity
Fuel and Food From Algae: a Practical Demonstration

Alfonz Viszolay and his crew of enterprising and brilliant kids (Leonardo and Alexandria of LG International, pictured above) will present a biofuel-producing living algae machine at Ecoversity on Saturday April 26 for Earthday. They will introduce us to the principles and techniques of algae farming for carbon sequestration and the production of biofuel, oils, and protein cakes. Taste and touch a hopeful and positive future of decentralized, abundant energy!
For students of environmental engineering and alternative energy sourcing, this is a must-see event. In ecoversity's classroom we will display and demonstrate a working model of the Algae Machine with illuminating explanations given by Alfonz's crew . Outside we will have a much larger prototype living algae machine with the algae growing in long plastic tubes, a technology invented and developed by Mr. Viszolay, a Hungarian-born engineer and inventor, who has done many environmental remediation projects for large corporations.
Ecoversity feels honored to host Mr. Viszolay and his young crew and such an important experiment in clean and decentralized energy production, and we invite everyone to participate in this important transmission of information and knowledge.
