Anything Into Oil

tgies001 — Tue, 16 Oct 2024 20:02:03 -0700

We need an alternative to oil imports. Ethanol isn't all it's cracked up to be because it takes so much energy to produce. What would you say if there were a process available now that creates 85% more energy than it uses, could alleviate the pressure on the landfills, and creates usable byproducts in addition to oil?

Give up the nuclear family model to save the planet.

daybrown — Fri, 05 Oct 2024 02:21:46 -0700

Hominids did not evolve as nuclear families, but as small tribes and villages. Communal housing, with only one kitchen, needs to heat/cool one set of walls so the per capita household consumption goes down to average global levels despite modern plumbing, electric, media, & broadband.

Having only 1-2 kids in the family stabilizes the population but results in generations of spoiled brats. Kids need the competition of peers to give them realistic expectations. But by the same token, home schooling lets them learn how to help each other but does not expose them to the innumerable pathogens that constantly circulate in larger schools. The infections have already been identified as triggering autism and other mental pathologies. Hominid immune systems never evolve in large herds and just cant handle exposure to so many pathogens, and there are problems with vaccines also.

OIL

Eliminate traffic jams and the oil producing countries would drown in oil.

We need to take this issue on with expediency!

Let's be brutally honest here, it is only a matter of time before the entire Middle East explodes into ethnic and religious war. Our troops in Iraq are the only thing that keep adding length to the fuze and thus delay the inevitable! When the final blow-up does take place, this country and other western nations will have two choices, Socio-economic collapse or entering even deeper into a fifty year war over the resources that fuel our petroleum addiction.
We need leadership that instills the American people with the sense of urgency this situation requires. There also need to be funds made available for the effort to coordinate our immense intellectual and natural resources to make our energy self-reliance a reality.
Energy self-reliance needs to be more than just something that gets bounced around by electioneering politicians. Otherwise, we'll be sending our great-grandchildren to bleed and die in a war that started under our watch!

Energy Policy

JFK — Sun, 09 Sep 2024 19:13:22 -0700

Disregarding the Global Warming debate (which I feel we have exhausted at this point, what should we do to solve the crisis? Whatever we do now will not be seen until 50 years from now, so acting quickly is imperative.

What we can do now:

population control

aggie1976 — Tue, 28 Aug 2024 11:20:32 -0700

i am in the energy industry and have heard a lot of talk about alternative fuels. some have merit some don't. all the hype seems to about ways change fuel sources but little is talked about in the way of reducing the use of all fuels. that is population control. if you draw the biggest picture possible, the problem isn't 11 mpg hummers or leaving the lights on, it's that this planet cannot sustain 7 billion people. yes we all need to conserve and not waste, that's a given. but, the earth's problems are bigger than global warming and fuel consumption. if we really want to help the planet and ourselves we have to reduce the number of which feed on the pile. certainly i'm not advocating eradication but we still need to look seriously at the birth rate and mortality rates and we will see that as we grow in population we are actually killing ourselves. this planet and our technology cannot sustain more than 3-5 billion at the most. food for thought.

Hydrogen Anyone?

dgolden — Wed, 15 Aug 2024 08:34:55 -0700

I've been reading through a lot of the posts on here and pretty much everyone is discussing vegetable by products and glucose power, but, at least as far as I've seen, no one is discussing hydrogen. While I don't hold a degree or anything of the sort in pyro-engineering, physics, or, for that matter, regular engineering I do know what happens when you ignite a bunch of hydrogen. I've heard of experimental cars running off of hydrogen mixtures and I think this is the sensible long term solution, and before you all start going, "Hydrogen is highly explosive," well that is true but so is gasoline and they eventually got that working. So why not hydrogen? Because of the Hindenburg? What do you all think about the government putting in place a research intuitive for hydrogen energy research while using either corn or sugar cane production to try to keep us limping till hydrogen is a safe source of fuel?
