BTW There was a good program on tonight that started out showing some old photos of glaciers and then faded to the present view from the same location. Now that was eye opening! I think that's happened three or four times in the past 15,000 years. On the flip side, some early Middle Ages tapestries depict 'the year there was no summer' in meticulous detail. That particular Mini Ice Age destroyed the once thriving English wine making industry - for example. My question is always: If not for Global Warming (capitalized because it's now a religion) ....wouldn't we be locked in one of Earth's many Ice Ages, still? I believe 95% of GW is the Sun, and the Earth's tilt/wobble, and the ocean's salinity/density/fresh water cycles, and the planet's solid iron core flipping polarity, etc, etc, etc. But yes, I do think we need to work on our 5%.

Now, do I really think that this guy EARNED that much money? Nope -- not by a long shot. He charged what the market would bear for his services -- that's how the free market worked (sure, the health system has plenty of distortions, but doctor's pay is not one of them: reduce doctors pay to what you think they are 'earning', and you'd be hard pressed to fill the posts because the doctors are smart enough to find somewhere else where they'd get paid more). Also, I'm not sure whether you miss it or not, but capitalism does need some moderation otherwise it ends up just as bad as the old Soviet system (for one, it tends towards monopoly which is BAD for free markets. Yes, unmoderated capitalism can end up destroying the free market). -- Yes, the Reply-To email address is valid. Oolite-Linux: an Elite tribute: http://oolite-linux.berlios.de |

What I find amazing is how they produce so little Nitrogen oxides with such a high compression ratio. The exhaust system (3 way catalytic converter) probably gets rid of it. -- Yes, the Reply-To email address is valid. Oolite-Linux: an Elite tribute: http://oolite-linux.berlios.de |

both with the latter being the most likely. I think though that the bio fuels will probably outdo the Hydrogen overall in the big picture.. It's easier to increase trucking incrementally than it is to increase the power grid. I think a lot of the hydrogen advocates are missing the massive change to infrastructure needed - we would need: - new cars - new filling stations - new transport - new ways of storage (I'm sure keeping hydrogen as a cryogenic liquid is just not gonna work for everyday cars and trucks) For biodiesels (some forms of algae can be used to make 10,000 US gallons of biofuel per acre, and it can be done in a more closed system to keep evaporation of water losses to a minimum) you don't need to change the infrastructure. Biodiesel will work in existing diesel trucks and cars, and the same filling stations can be used, and the same tankers can be used as is for conventional dino-diesel. -- Yes, the Reply-To email address is valid.

I was watching TV while you were typing. What were we talking about? Ummmm... sigh BTW There was a good program on tonight that started out showing some old photos of glaciers and then faded to the present view from the same location. Now that was eye opening! I saw something like that a year or so ago. They showed pictures of glaciers (Yellowstone mainly) taken in the late 1880's, then compared it to pictures taken today. The glaciers were either greatly receeded or completely vanished. Thing is, someone else showed pictures taken from 1905-1915 and the pictures then looked pretty much like today. |

Yes...and until the late 1800's the tribes slaughtered each other to the extent that after 5000 years on this continent, the aborigine population wa barely 300,000. One sure thing in that bygone era, like death and taxes (and now shipping and handling) today, was tribal warfare. Last tribal warfare I heard of, aince the 1800's, was the Crips. and the Bluds, the Dodgers and Giants, and the Democraps and the Repugnants. -- Matt --------------------- Matthew W.
