Moreover, controversy still surrounds nuclear technology, even when it is used for nonviolent purposes – for example, as a source of power.

Can natural gas be the answer to moving away from dirty and expensive oil and still be environmentally friendly and safe? Is this what they mean by green energy? What is hydraulic fracturing? Is it hype and hyperbole? I’ll let YOU decide. Hydraulic fracturing, also known as hydrofracking, a.k.a. fraking or fracking is a process of extracting natural gas in gas shale deposits, and at some point drilling horizontally instead of vertically while using sand, chemicals and copious amounts of water.

Remember picking up random objects from the side of the road as a kid and being scolded for it, forced to let the treasure go? Here’s a chance to get creative with everyday objects (read: trash). The following examples show that beauty is in everything, even trash, and that amazing things can be designed out of it if we put our minds to it. This igloo seems to be made mainly out of newspapers, paper cups and plastic sheets, creating a surprisingly homogenous white-to-pastel colour scheme. This project was contributed by artist David Hamlow and others at the Art Shanty Projects 2006. This annual, 5-week public art installation uses a frozen lake as an open-air gallery. |

When Professor Juzo Kabuto built the super robot Mazinger Z he envisioned a world protected from the forces of Dr Hell and his mechanical beasts by this, his ultimate invention. Made from Japanium (found only on the slopes of Mount Fuji) Mazinger B’s sheer size and power would defend humanity against evil for generations. He never imagined that his gargantuan brainchild would end its days in an unfinished suburb of a quiet Spanish town, rooted to the spot and silently, gently decaying.

There's darkness at the end of this abandoned mine tunnel. Outside there is sunlight and greenery and gentle breezes, but down here it is dark, damp and musty. Tunnels snake off around unlit corners, and no one knows for sure what lurks in the darkness. It’s an unnerving feeling being seemingly so far away from the world above.

Yet it was a very different story for those who once labored here, mining for the minerals that were – and still are – so plentiful in this region.

While this stunning image of frozen Abraham Lake in Alberta, Canada may look like a perfectly tranquil and picturesque postcard scene, something more menacing – and explosive – lurks beneath the surface. The crisp, bluish-white, cotton wool-like formations are actually frozen bubbles of flammable methane gas trapped in the icy manmade lake.
