Do you remember the old adage -- ‘People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones‘? Ever ask yourself why? I’m discovering there’s a new answer in today’s changing world ... You can break something that will turn-off the lights, TV and kettle… Excuse me! Seriously, I was just perusing the latest edition of American Ceramics in which Schott

The Toronto Auto Show has just finished and I spent three hours this weekend enjoying it. While the industry is in generally poor shape, most of the companies that sell cars and trucks in Canada were represented. Porsche sadly was notably absent – I am a great fan of “P-cars”. Ford’s display of trucks was larger than

For my first post on this blog I have chosen a subject near and dear to my heart, the wasted resources of technology metals due to the current operations of our scrap collection and management industries in North America. Some background, first: A year ago I published the written version of a talk I had just then

Wind ▪ Concentrated solar power ▪ Geothermal ▪ Tidal Power ▪ Solar Panels ▪ Wave Energy and ▪ Hydroelectric dams… quite the List! In the process of researching a future Industry Bulletin, I came across Dr. Mark Jacobson’s recently published 47-page paper entitled Review of solutions to global warming, air pollution, and energy security. Dr Jacobson presented

I received an email with the article and link from Gas2.org titled: Toyota: Reports That the Plug-in Prius Gets 65 MPG are Wrong late last week, which I just had a chance to read this long weekend.Am busy here at the office researching electric cars and their use of Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE) which include lanthanum,

Volkswagen wants to become the first car manufacturer to mass produce emissions-free cars announcing last week that it is teaming up with Toshiba. They plan to jointly develop electric drive units and other elements that VW said will allow it to become the first manufacturer of an affordable electric vehicle. VWs planned New Small Family of vehicles

What a day! Better yet… the next several months, make that years, are certainly going to be exciting in the rare metals and rare metals products arena. As I was sitting at my machine this morning (I know – for the purists, a laptop isn’t a machine) reading the recent issues of Magnetics Magazine and Ceramics Magazine,

There has certainly been a flurry of reviews and discussions around energy efficient lighting, more specifically related to LEDs. After pulling together the piece on Gallium – the Slippery Metal last week, in which I noted the importance of gallium and germanium, I scanned the Winter 2009 edition of Corporate Knights... the Canadian magazine for responsible business.

My favourite auto magazine by far is Road Track. I have read almost every edition of this wonderful publication since the mid 1960s. Among the things I like is the coverage not only of mouth wateringly delicious sports and luxury cars, but also coverage of innovations and technologies that are advancing. The March 2009 edition as an

Lithium-ion batteries are something I have been learning about recently. This appears to be the mostly widely used technology both in electric only and in hybrid vehicles. There are companies working on evolving this technology, coming at the issues from different perspectives. While searching for information on the initiative the mayor of Paris announces over a year

I’m in the process of pulling together a presentation that I’m scheduled to deliver at a Magnetics conference in mid-April (… a ‘keener’ you say – not really, just slow - but thanks anyway!). The presentation focuses on the future sources of supply of the Rare Earth metals that are vitally important to support hybrid and electric

A colleague of mine slipped (excuse the play on words - actually it should have read ‘flipped’) me this gallium article by the same name, which appeared under the Seeking Alpha banner just yesterday. I’m not sure he was aware that I was in the process of updating a series of Rare Metal descriptions for a client

The New York Times dated February 2, 2009 has an interesting story written by Simon Romero entitled In Bolivia, Untapped Bounty Meets Nationalism. In his article, Mr. Romero says that Bolivia has more than half of the world’s known supply of lithium. With China producing more lithium than any other country and auto manufactures looking to various
