The proceedings of the October 2004 SuperGrid 2 conference on
the Continental SuperGrid for distribution of electricity and
hydrogen have been posted by Paul Grant along with lots of other
good material about the SuperGrid at:

Mark Stoeckle, Paul Waggoner, and Jesse have prepared “Barcoding Life, Illustrated”, a brief brochure on the goals, rationale, and early results of this new technology for species identification and biodiversity science.
PHE welcomes Donald Jenkins, former manager of advanced propulsion at Rocketdyne, to work with us part-time from his home in Southern California on design issues for zero emission power plants.
We post the colorfully illustrated 4-page poster-like 2004 Highlights Report of the Census of Marine Life, which Jesse helped author.

The Lindbergh Symposium issues a press release about the 13 November 2004 Florida conference in which Jesse will speak about green mobility.
Jesse gave the opening keynote at the Supergrid2 conference on
the continental supergrid for hydrogen and electricity at the
U. of Illinois 24-27 October. A report of the meeting will be
ready by the end of 2004. Attendees developed identified
numerous technical challenges and potential solutions for this
potential continental energy exchange, which could become over
the decades an eBay for buyers and sellers of protons and
electrons from kilowatts to gigawatts.
Virtual-U and the Serious Games movement that Jesse has helped build makes the front page of the Washington Post:
