By Moming Zhou, MarketWatch & Polya Lesova, MarketWatch

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Oil futures rose Tuesday for a second session, topping $78 a barrel as data in the U.S. and China showed the manufacturing sector in the world's two biggest oil consumers continued to expand.

Geoengineering, or deliberately tinkering with the earth's climate, could help if global warming proves disastrous for mankind, but the ideas are untested and the risks unknown.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- "Drill baby drill" is so 2008.
More than a year after Republicans rallied around the now-famous call, a growing number of Americans are saying not-in-my-backyard when it comes to more oil and natural gas drilling.

Radical new engine design

Eco Motors is the name of a new company that has come up with a radically new type of engine. It has two opposing pistons in two contiguous cylinders, connected to a common crankshaft in the middle of the engine. An electric supercharger provides boost on demand. It's a two-stroke engine with no valves, yet still achieves 90% scavenging efficiency with less oil consumption than a four-stroke engine. In other words, it's a two-stroke engine that can meet the strictest emissions standards. It can be made as a spark-ignited or compression-ignition engine, and the diesel version can meet emission standards without using urea.

Why cheap oil is here to stay;)

With oil supplies rising and the economy becoming ever more efficient, a super-spike in prices is looking increasingly unlikely.
