The Internet of Things takes "dumb" things such as conventional pipeline valves and makes them "smart" by giving each of them an Internet Protocol address combined with wireless transmitting.

Apparently the only job President Obama thinks about when he hears "Keystone XL" is his own. Never mind the jobs it would create.
The oppressive monster known as the Environmental Protection Agency is not just killing jobs these days -- it is intentionally avoiding transparency that may shed light on the political motivations behind the agency's actions.
Before we can move forward full-bore on this, we need to neutralize all those environmentalist whiners who have shown an annoying degree of persistence as they protest our every move.
Welcome to Rocket Trike Diaries -- a 10-week video tour of the 2011 "Ride for Renewables: No Tar Sands Oil On American Soil!" Join me as I pedal my rocket trike 2,150 miles through America's heartland in support of landowners fighting TransCanada's toxic Keystone XL pipeline scheme.
The real solution to our gas price problem is not doubling down on the dirtiest oil on the planet: Instead we need to lessen our dependence on oil.
The question for Canada should not need to be limited to: How can we develop energy resources? Instead, we should ask: How can our energy resources best help us to build a competitive economy and a great society for generations to come?
There was another aspect of the oil-sands debate that might have missed the headlines but remains a hot topic in the scientific community: is the carbon footprint of oil sands larger than that of conventional oil? And if so, by how much?
Spring is in the air -- but has the president really fallen madly in love with dirty energy? As usual, the answer is complicated.
What should have been said by our president is that this government is moving heaven and earth to convert our transportation fleet from gasoline and diesel to being powered by compressed natural gas.
If we cannot agree to say no to projects that will entrench the use of fossil fuel energy -- even if they offer some short-term benefits -- we cannot hope to prevent global warming.
Unions and environmentalists agree on most issues. With this in mind, it's time for labor and environmentalists to sit down and hammer out plans for putting union members to work rebuilding our country and protecting the planet.
Can you be an environmentalist and support things like the Keystone XL pipeline and hydraulic fracking? Not likely, but it's conceivable. Can you be an environmentalist and oppose the power of the environmental movement? I think not.
