BRAIN BONER! Ghost Town to Test Renewable Energy
Oct 3rd
What is it about a ghost town that is so damn intriguing? You just can’t help but contemplate what transpired for a town once full of citizens to suddenly up and go. Looks like the next spot for future green testing will look a lot less like TRON, and a lot more like a ghost town in New Mexico. Huh?
The Center, as it will be called, will invest $200 million into the 20 square-mile city, and plans to be the test grounds for energy infrastructure, smart grids, traffic systems, wireless networks and more.*
The Center will be home to many houses, highways and commercial buildings, and plan to build structures to mock various styles, both old and new to make it seem more “realistic”. Those embarking on this project say it will be the first of its’ kind- allowing private companies and research institutions to test new technologies in a real-world setting.
CEO Bob Brumley claims that it will still be a few months until everything is final, and although no humans will be living there- the city will be conducted just as real people were using it. Puts a whole new-age meaning to ghost town, doesn’t it?
The future is RAD.

Electric Motorcycles, just got cool; The Brammo Empulse.
Jul 15th
I’ve seen quite a few Electric Motorcycles, from a number of companies and none of them come close to this beast from Brammo. It’s the Empulse, this street-fighter makes over 100+ mph with a range of 100 miles. True there are some killer electric bikes out there. Some look amazing, some go amazingly fast, and some have a great range; but none of them are production bikes. With this one it can be all yours, for a few green backs.
Being environmentally conscious has never been so rebellious.
