Virgin, Virgin Fuels and Virgin Unite have made it clear they do not approve or endorse this news site in any way, shape or form.
Virgin Enterprises Intellectual Property management has requested the Gaia Capitalist to cease and desist publication of this World BioEnergy News site. The Gaia Capitalist and World BioEnergy News examines global alternative energy issues with a special focus on Gaia Capitalism. We believe we have an obligation to our children to safeguard our environment, that there are viable options to the continued use of fossil fuels and that there are profitable applications for alternative energy and biofuel technologies in today's commercial market.

Virgin Fuels launches Virgin Fuels website
"Virgin Fuels was set up in recognition of the Virgin Group’s commitment to investment in the renewable energy sector. In September 2006, Richard Branson made a $3bn commitment to combat global warming announced at the Clinton Global Initiative. As a first step, Virgin Fuels will invest up to $400mn over the next three years in renewable energy projects around the world.
Sir Richard Branson and Gaia Capitalism
Sir
Richard Branson again is encouraging Gaia Capitalism, entrepreneurship, Interpreneurship, ingenuity, creativity and initiative by announcing a $25 million prize for the first person to come
up with a way of removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
I contend that my project BioEnergy World News Service is an example of Sir Richard's stated public philosophy. Although everything I have done with VirginFuels.org been above-board, legal, ethical and a contribution of service and value, I have been accused of cybersquatting and trying to dishonor Virgin Enterprises. The dialogue with Mark James, Virgin Enterprises Intellectual Property manager is documented on the Gaia Capitalist blog. Gaia Capitalism is not just a media campaign. Gaia Capitalism goes both ways. the Gaia Capitalist blogger 02.11.07 09:12 It's always about the Children
It's always about the children. Everything. Always. May 2008 be the year of peace. Gaia Capitalist blogger 07-04-08
This is America not the damned Titanic - Lee Iacco
"Am I the only guy in this country who's
fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody
murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state
right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we
can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But
instead of getting mad, everyonsits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course"Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America ,
not the damned "Titanic". I'll give you a sound bite:
"Throw all the bums out!" You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker,
and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly
recognize this country anymore.
Rejoice! Rejoice! The Christ Child is born again this day. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone, everywhere. May the children of the World see PEACE in 2008. Stop the Wars! Congratulations, Professor Yunus, for receiving the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize
Professor Muhammad Yunus was in Oslo,
Norway, recently to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his Grameen Bank and
micro-financing for the poor. He is the ideal of Gaia Capitalism. By encouraging
one person at a time to start a business, by investing small amounts in
grass-root entrepreneurship, he has enriched the economies of entire
villages. Professor Yunus does not just help people, he helps people to
succeed.
Can Americans Grow Enough Biofuel?
"The high price of petroleum, government incentives to reduce
dependence on imported oil, and growing efforts to address climate
change have created a perfect storm for bio-based products, driving
demand for alternative feedstocks for biofuels and chemicals and
cleaner biotech-based production processes. Industrial biotechnology
has enhanced the efficiency of biofuel production and made possible
production of a range of polymers and chemicals from agricultural
starting materials. The next challenge facing the biorefinery industry
is producing, harvesting and delivering abundant feedstocks in an
economically and environmentally sustainable fashion." according to
Brent Erickson, executive vice president of Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) Industrial & Environmental Section.
Will Democrats Go Green?
Leadership changes in key Congressional commitees point toward a dramatic shift in US energy policies, none more
so than the replacement of Oklahoma Republican James Inhofe as chairman of the Senate
Environment and Public Works Committee by California Democrat Barbara Boxer. "Nowhere is there a greater
threat to future generations than the disastrous effects of global
warming," Boxer said at a Senate Democratic Caucus meeting.
"One of my top priorities will be to spotlight this issue ... with the
goal of ultimately bringing legislation to the Senate floor."
UK Stern Report on Climate Change
There is still time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, if we take strong action now, according to the Stern Review Report on the Economics of Climate Change. The scientific evidence is now overwhelming: climate change is a serious global threat, and it demands an urgent global response.
Future Biofuel Trends “New Opportunities in US Biofuel Market (2006)”, a strategic report by the market research and analysis firm RNCOS, provides an updated and detailed analysis of the US biofuel market. The report provides an overview of the global biofuel market, with exclusive focus on the US markets. It is also highly informative about the current and future market trends. The emphasis has been put on the analysis of critical aspects of the industry such as supply and demand structure, challenges & opportunities and others that will help clients to gain exclusive information about the industry.
 Jatropha curcas is a promising source of biofuels. It is a particularly important plant because it can be grown on arid and semi-arid land that is not agriculturally suited for food crops. Read More ... Gaia Capitalist Names Santa and Mrs. Claus "Gaia Capitalists of the Year"
The big guy in the red suit and his eternally cheery partner deserve
kudos for all their work and dedication, and it is thus our honor to name Santa and Mrs. Claus our 2006 “Gaia Capitalists of the Year”.
With a ho-ho-ho and a visual branding that Coca Cola can only dream of,
the jolly St. Nicks have created the epitome of a profitable enterprise.
Read More New Biofuel Discovery
"Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed a new,
carbon-neutral way to convert vegetable-based fuels to syngas, a
breakthrough that could allow producers to power hydrogen fuel cells or
create a replacement for America's dwindling supplies of natural gas,
all without relying on fossil fuels.
We've all had the experience of watching cooking oil smoke once a
pan reaches a certain temperature—and suffered the indignity of having
to scrub off the caked-on, carbonized gunk that results. A similar
problem plagued researchers trying to convert biofuels: When heated,
they clogged the pores of the catalyst used to transform them into
syngas, which is a mixture of gases that include hydrogen, carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Schwarzenegger Seeks to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced an executive order that joins California's landmark global warming law with
the Northeast's program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
It is the first step in creating a system that
helps California's largest manufacturers comply with stricter
environmental regulations, a Schwarzenegger administration official
said. Industrial corporations and utility companies must cut their
greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 25 percent by 2020.
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership
Aimed at all stakeholders in the energy debate, the 2nd Annual
European Energy Policy Conference is part of a 5-year commitment to the
development of debate and critical discussion on the issues surrounding
the energy industry, energy policy, sustainability and relations with
the wider energy industry. Key
issues covered include security of supply, LNG, renewables,
investment climates, emerging markets, global energy consumption,
energy efficiency, EU ETS and current projects in place that are
helping to drive forward cleaner production of energy.
