Environment - July 2006

The answer in itself isn't bad ... It just isn't feasible .... And to me seems just a stale echo of ideas we have all been hearing for the last decade now ...
Why not feasible ?... Because both consumers and corporations are always going to footdrag on anything that restricts or "weans us from the energy tit" ...Whether we are talking gasoline ,homeheating or energy in general- I do not have any faith either the vested corporations, or consumers are going to "buck up" to making any sacrifices of signifigance to curbing greenhouse emissions ...Add to this, if we have a four to eight year regime change in this country that actually pushes through legislation that will change things ... The next regime will simply come to reverse the trend ...
But am I wringing my hands in pessimism?... no
What am I optimistic about? ...hydrogen cell technology ...
Hydrogen cell technology has no carbon byproducts ... in fact its only byproduct is clean H20 ...Water ...

What I looking for is a reliable and cost effective way to reduce the number of "Unhealthy Air Days" in urban areas. Until the majority of transportation and energy machines operate at low to zero emissions many cities across the world will experience weeks of the year when it will be unhealthy to breath. The "Spare the Air" campaign doesn’t seem to be reducing the number of unhealthy days in a year. Is there anyone who can think of a to move smog out of or to block if from moving into heavily populated areas?

See a sample of the old TV show here:
http://cartoons.peekvid.com/s2490/

Do you think that the show's creators were justified in trying to save the environment like this? Or do you think they're not? Are you against environmentalism? Or do you not care? Actually, if you don't care, don't answer this. Anyway, we each ought to take a position. What's yours?

Most regions of the country have their resident "blue jay," but cristata is the species officially designated by that name. It ranges through Canada and the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and is the only jay species in much of that area. Several other blue-colored jays occur in the West, but only one, Steller's jay, shares the blue jay's handsome crest.

I've seen comercials on TV by companies bragging how much they have done to remove ozone pollution from cars and factories. This was mostly a couple of decades ago. Then a decade or two later I read a lot of concern about our atmosphere losing ozone at a rapid rate. Perhaps ozone pollution is a good thing. A scientist friend of mine says they are unrelated but couldn't explain why. He just didn't think ozone from car exhaust could get high in the atmosphere and therefore they were unrelated. I think the air can be infinitely mixed and there should be a correlation.

I have always been a supporter of evolutionary pshychology. According to wikipedia, "Evolutionary psychology (abbreviated ev-psych or EP) is a theoretical approach to psychology that explains many mental traits as adaptations in the sense of evolutionary biology, as a product of natural or sexual selection." I don't wish to get into whether anylysing a book with evolutionary pyscholgy is acceptable scientifically. Instead, I wish for people to say whether they think the actual principle that the human concious is a product of evolution is good and to give support.

A lot of people have used Brazil as an example what a country can do with ethanol to make them energy independant. It's great for Brazil, and I'd like to see what the US can do with it.

However, Brazil only uses about 2 Million Barrels of oil per day. The US uses about 20 MB/Day. Brazil's biomass is at least as much as the US Biomass.

From where would we get the additional biomass to make 10 times the amount of Ethanol that Brazil does?

Farms cannot feed all the world’s people and its motor vehicles as well, and the result is that more people will go hungry. Don't you think?
The mouth of your car is a monster compared to your family's stomache needs. I'm sure it may even affect world hunger at some point.
