Does a styrofoam cup keep cold water cold longer or hot water warm longer? If there is a difference, why would this be so?

Raw sewage, pigs blood and a host of other things go ino these rivers unchecked. Waste water is supposed to be treated before it is discharged into rivers.

It's probably already been thought of and dismissed by the powers that be, but I was curious, given the very high profile of "green" power generation, why don't the Government and utilities businesses install some type of electricity generation at some, if not all, reasonably sized wiers and sluice-gates here in the UK - there's literally 1000's of them, most of which have a sizeable amount of water flowing through with some considerable force all year - surely they can make a significant contribution to local electricty consumption with little impact on the environment? I know of one locally to me that has, well, must be millions of gallons roaring and surging through all day, every day.

Or, and I've just thought of this just now, given that there's always a steady flow of "fluid" through the drains & sewers of towns & cities, can this not also be harnessed & harvested for electricity generation in the same way?

Missed opportunity, me thinks.

Just an idea.....

Most technology has moved on at enourmous speeds, with most things not recognisable from 10 years ago!

However car manufacturers seem to be in a rut and still using the same Combustion engine, that was developed in the early 1900's

The hybrid car has only just come out (Petrol Engine + Electric engine = 10 more mpg) However car manufacturers dont seem to be bothered in getting it out very quickly.

Also I would have thought we would have had a computer fitted in most cars, running Windows media - voice activiation, WiFi as standard etc- Many moons ago.

Why is progress so slow? After all it is a very competitive market

Last year was the warmest on record in the continental United States, the federal government reported Tuesday, attributing the temperatures to the natural El Nino cycle as well as to long-term warming linked to human emissions of greenhouse gases.

The findings are preliminary, and a final review later this year could still put 2006 just below the previous record set in 1998, the National Climatic Data Center reported. But in any case, the two years are pretty much a tie in terms of hot ones since recordkeeping began in 1880.

Both years averaged around 55 degrees Fahrenheit — 2.2 degrees above the 20th century mean.

In a statement, the center said the last nine years have all been "among the 25 warmest years on record for the contiguous U.S., a streak which is unprecedented in the historical record."

I know the earth is getting hotter, but I hear that this will cause another ice age. That does not make sense.

Tigers are on the brink of destruction and I wonder if there are any serious efforts for there protection on the part of the people or if they even care to protect these beautiful creatures [who are also the protectors of the jungle] which are being killed ruthlessly by poachers and at the same time by the ignorant and inactive citizens.
