In this installment, Iver and Nelson take a trip in Iver's GEM car (after solving some technical and cat-related difficulties) down to see our tax dollars in use: the new River Walk path built by the Army Core of Engineers along the shore of the Kennebec River in Skowhegan. Then we talk about things that Iver's done at his house to save money and shrink his carbon footprint. Enjoy!

Whereupon Iver and Nelson take the new Chevy Volt--the first ever series plug-in hybrid produced by a major manufacturer--out for a spin o'er the bucolic Maine countryside.

Sugarhouse Journal #3 - Chevy Volt Roadtest

Continuing with our "Too Big" theme, Iver and I sit down in the Sugarhouse and talk about the Titanic as metaphor (yes!) for the coming challenges to the U.S. and the world. Will other technologies be there to help us off the sinking ship of oil dependency?

Sugarhouse Journal #2: Too Big to Sink

Welcome to Sugarhouse Journal: Tools and Ideas for Sustainable Communities. On our first Podcast, recorded at the sugarhouse, Iver and I talk about the recent maple syruping season, Corporation Nation, "Too small to fail," and other things that came to mind. Hope you enjoy!
