Just a few examples regarding the guy who says "We have just 10 years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tailspin.":

He & the Tipster live in a 10,000 square foot mansion with 20 rooms & 8 bathrooms in Nashville, TN. (Wonder what THAT light bill looks like!)

That is, when he isn't hanging for a few days in Washington, DC in his 4,000 square foot home in Arlington, VA (just a small place for quick trips to the seat of power, don'tcha know).

In neither home does he take advantage of using electricity produced by wind power. Utility companies in both cities offer this option at an extra cost of 2-3 cents per kilowatt hour. In addition to being a fraud, maybe Algae the Green Guy is cheap, too?

Ol' Al owns quite a large chunk of stock in Occidental Petroleum - an oil company that has been mired for years in controversy over oil drilling in ecologically sensitive areas.

I could go on but you get the idea.

Talk about inconvenient truths!!!

A freshman at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project, he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical "dihydrogen monoxide."

And for plenty of good reasons, since:

1. It can cause excessive sweating and vomiting
2. It is a major component in acid rain
3. It can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
4. Accidental inhalation can kill you
5. It contributes to erosion
6. It decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
7. It has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients

So, the question is, would you sign this petition? Or not? And give a reason. I'll post the outcome of his survey in 3 hours. Check back to see!!

Star if you're intrigued!

I've seen a dozen or more older gas stations with portable trailers semi-permanently installed, with power hard-wired. It sounds like some sort of pump or fan is running insided. These have been at both "open" and abandoned gas stations. I haven't seen them anywhere else. There is a 10' tall 5" pvc pipe "smoke stack" coming out the top. There are no markings on any of these trailers. Is this some kind of environmental remediation? Should we be worried about fumes, etc.?

I know it's annoying when someone asks for help with schoolwork, but does anyone know where I can find some articles on the environment that are written with a bias? Please, I'd really appreciate it.

Calls for a boycott have been circulating for weeks now - to protest the high prices North American consumers are having to pay.

Personally, I think there are much more compelling reasons to boycott the petro-industry.. from environmental degredation, to contribution to greenhouse gas, to fuleing conflict and opression in regions like Iraq, Nigeria, Sudan, Indonesia, etc.

In fact, I think we subsidize North Americans love affair with cars far too much already (fuel taxes do not come close to paying for the taxpayer expense involved in developing the hundreds of thousands of miles of highway and infastructure dedicated to the millions of single occupant SUV driving motorists that clog our roadways evey day.

I am, however in favour of subsidizing commercial trucking, mass transit and carpooling with selectively reduced fuel costs or rebates.

Does anyone else agree that this boycott is entirely self-centred??

The ecology forum has been removed from yahoo answers which is a major bummer. For those of you in the know, ecology is a science all it's own and to remove it is a great disservice. Please help me by commenting on this post and by submitting a suggestion to yahoo answers, asking them to please reinstate the ecology topic.

I am trying to build a device which would mount on the rear carrier of my 20 inch folding bike, which would generate and store electricity, for anything, within reason that can be plugged in (i.e lamp, computer, stereo etc).
I bike about 10-15 miles a day and I would like to generate some power and $ave on my elecricity bill (I already have solar panels) and create some green power.
So I want to create, in essence, a kinetically generated charger to mount on my bike, which, when I get home, I can plug appliances into.
If such a product already exists where can I get it. If I need to make it from scratch what is my first step?
