The hydrogen idea is great, but right now it takes more to make it than to use the fuels required to fracture water to get it .
Also bio-diesel as a "short term" solution til hydrogen's problems can be solved, will work in diesel trucks on the road right now with little to no modification .
Biodiesel also burns much cleaner than petrol diesel .
All trains, all semis, most buses run on diesel .
E-85 Ethanol is also a better choice than sending billions to the middle east and could also make jobs here, make a cleaner burning fuel, and E-85 is economical anywhere over $1.76 a gallon . Flex fuel vehicles will run on E-85 right now .
Once we get helium-3 fusion reactors we can make all the hydrogen we want, but large scale reactor production and mining the moon for helium-3 are at least a decade away probably longer as red tape seems to grind these advances to a snail's pace .
Big oil still owns the pipe lines, and distribution centers, and can still wrangle a profit out of it all , just not the massive ones they have seen lately .
Transistion is the point, find something to help right now in short term, to help while working on a long term permanent solution that will require major systemic infrastructure changes nation wide at filling stations and on each and every car .
I wish we had a hydrogen fuel economy, but it will take time, and it will take massive amounts of money to change all the cars, trucks, filling stations etc over to it .
The specialized tanks required to transport the hydrogen are a enormous cost in themselves and would have to be huge for a semi to get the same distance per fill up .
Changing Thousands of gas stations nation wide at a cost of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, is just not going to happen anytime soon .
Litterally millions of vehicles would need 'major' modifications .
It pissed me off when I saw that GWB was giving the oil industry HUGE tax breaks while cutting alternative energy research.
I totally agree, I am not a democrap or republicrap, and I think we have many options we could pursue to use clean energy .
Foremost among these is bio-diesel from Algae .
* Soybean: 40 to 50 US gal/acre (40 to 50 m/km)
* Rapeseed: 110 to 145 US gal/acre (100 to 140 m/km)
* Mustard: 140 US gal/acre (130 m/km)
* Jatropha: 175 US gal/acre (160 m/km)
* Palm oil: 650 US gal/acre (610 m/km) [2]
* Algae: 10,000 to 20,000 US gal/acre (10,000 to 20,000 m/km)
This could get us out of the middle east for good, and I am all for that, though it may be too late.
The amount of money we send the middle east every 10 years would more than pay for a total conversion to alternative energy here in the US .
Yes, I said total .
Up to 150 billion USD a year, over 10 years, 1.5 trillion USD we could do geothermal, wind, solar, biofuels, and fund robotic mining of HE3 on the moon .
For the "save the moon crowd" China already plans to do this, good luck convinving them to stop.
The University of wisconsin has a "working" helium-3 fusion reactor .
We can end one huge stream of money leaving US soil for good .
With total energy independence we can work on making the US independent on other fronts as well .
The potential good this can do the world as a whole, we can split the cost "evenly" with the EU, and other nations that see the cost benefit of shared costs .
Theoretically, federal law allows persons convicted of felonies in a federal United States district court to apply to have their record expunged. However, the U.S. Congress has refused to fund the federal agency mandated with handling the applications of convicted felons to have their record expunged. This means that, in practice, federal felons cannot have their records expunged.
The only reason you might be able to call it a paradon is because expungement is not available at the federal level . The person had already served their punishment .
Lasater, buddy of clinton , and cocaine distributer to under age girls for sex, has not .
(hence not perjury by definition even if he did lie)
This statement is utter garbage, we have many other citizens in jail for perjury who "just lied" .
If you or me lied in court, we'd be in jail for perjury .
Now as to me calling him a "liberal", read my post, the word is not there .
I called him a criminal, are they synonymous ?
As to your opinion, I think I will trust the news article over your democrap rhetoric .
The missing board from the Loral Intelsat satellite is no mystery. It quickly became obvious that Chinese engineers removed the special electronics and kept the board for examination. The stolen Loral electronics consist of radiation hardened, encrypted telemetry chips, stored in a secure flight control box similar to those found on airliners. The NSA changed all U.S. satellite codes as a result of the stolen Loral chips, costing American taxpayers millions of dollars.
We had to change all our satellite codes due to this bullshit, and it cost "US" millions .
Clinton recv'd $400,000 from communist china as campaign contributions, and he then pushed thru the sale of ballistic missile technology from Loral to china to give them hyper accurate ICBM's .
The naturally aspirated, direct-injection diesel engine generates 6.3 kW (8.44 hp) at 4,000 rpm, with a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph).
It's acceleration rate may not meet your hot rod race standards, but most adults have put that childish hot rod racing crap away as they became adults .
Too many ppl I knew from my high school days are now worm food due to hot rodding .
Go ask the dead and and the parents who get to bury their kids .
Top speed on a federally funded US interstate highway is 75 mph .
As to the recoil of the mass driver, yes your right, it would be difficult to compensate for , but ships at sea compensate for pitch and roll for radar guidance system at ranges out past 300 miles with cross roll gyros .
I used to work on those gyro systems, while a simplified verison of what would be needed it is in the same vein .
These guys. with some mods to their idea, might haul ur cargo to the platform :
As to who would work up there, your right no one would dare climb on board a million gallons of liquid hydrogen and light the candle as some ppl put it . (Apollo/Shuttle missions)
I mean what fool jumps out of a perfectly good airplane too ???
Also the platform could receive a "cartridge" for launch from a delivery vessel, the platform could be operated remotely from earth with little or no crew .
I didn't say it would be easy either. I also posed it as a question as to I wonder how much easier would it be to get to Low Orbit with something like that .
China is waiting for us to go "all in" in the middle east .
In fact they might be tipping that to happen behind the scenes .
Total supposition there .
I think they see it as a game of patience, and feel that once we are fully and royally screwed in the mid east, they will then take back Taiwan .
Which by the way was part of china, before the USA existed .
I don't agree with what china is doing, but that is the facts .
The funniest thing of it all is we paid china to do it by whoring out most of our economy to them just for the sake of greed , stupid politicians and corporations .
I think they hoped they could turn china into a democracy via capitalism , but I don't think their gambit is going to work .
I think it would have gone a LOT better for us if Mr. Clinton had not authorized ICBM guidance technology to them from Loral for campaign contributions .
But I think we will "blink" when we see the Chinese take Taiwan in a matter of a few days with VERY little resistance due to the sheer size of the assault .
In the US, less than 5% of ppl serve in the military, In china it is near 100% for at least 2 years .
Just in percentages it is staggering, then you remember they outnumber us 4 to 1 .
Manpower available for military service 342 million, that is over the US total population and 5 times the size of our estimated possible forces .
Where as the majoroty of china serves at least 2 years military service, less than 5% here do, and thus they are trained and we are not .
We could not beat the North Vietnamese, or the North Koreans, we may see them side with china when the game is afoot .
Makes bad look even worse doesn't it ???
A few others like Malaysia and Indonesia may throw in with them as well and have been rather outspoken of their distaste for the US and non-muslims .
The scars of WW2 are fresh in china's mind, and japan will likely we treated in the same manner as the president of Iran wants to treat israel, ie. wiped off the face of the map .
If you are in japan, and you hear taiwan has fallen, get a plane ticket, boat ticket, or a rubber raft and oar and paddle like there is no tomorrow because revenge is on its way .
Riots in china's streets over Koizumi visiting a military shrine in japan speak to the level of anger that still boils , 60 years later .
The shadows of WW3 are long, and they cover most of the world, and it will be a war like none the earth has seen before, and I think it is honestly already under way .
It would be a huge and complex task, but imagine a giant platform with many ballons in case one fails, and a magnetic mass driver near the center to toss cargo into low orbit .
Power the mass driver would be difficult at that altitude with nearly zero oxygen .
Perhaps fuel cells, solar panels, or other non-combustion method .
I am curious how much a 30 mile headstart plus mag driver boost would help with fuel cost to achieve Low Earth Orbit .
For the Anti Mass Driver crowd NASA has considered this before .

Wal-mart is building the largest building in that country as a warehouse to ship here .
With their large infusion of cash, fastest growing economy on earth, they can do MANY things included build the largest dam in the world, and start a planned space program to the moon .
The city of industry in California is a tax/tariff free zone that large amounts of near shored product is stored til it is ready to ship/truck/air/rail to consumers here in the US .
Many billions of dollars is what allowed china to build a mag lev rail, not lack of railroads .
Singapore is losing its grip on cash flow due to other nations undercutting them cost wise , and that is why u see M$ investing in India not Singapore .
It is all about a race to the bottom, whoever does it for less, gets the billions .
The rest will have to make due with what they can scrape up and hope they can do something for less than the rest of the world .
In the not so distant future, u will see nothing manufactured in the US, and you will see no food grown here, and truck drivers will not be citizens as well as all manual labor .
Mexican truck drivers can already cross from mexico into the US thou they cannot read the signs, and the trucks do not have to meet the safety standards that US trucks do .

I think the best hope for bio-fuels is the Algae research being done, it already outpaces soybean oil by a massive magnitude . In fact I don't think any other known bio process can beat the Algae production of oil at this time .
* Soybean: 40 to 50 US gal/acre (40 to 50 m/km)
* Rapeseed: 110 to 145 US gal/acre (100 to 140 m/km)
* Mustard: 140 US gal/acre (130 m/km)
* Jatropha: 175 US gal/acre (160 m/km)
* Palm oil: 650 US gal/acre (610 m/km) [2]
* Algae: 10,000 to 20,000 US gal/acre (10,000 to 20,000 m/km)
Enough biodiesel to replace all petroleum transportation fuels could be grown in 15,000 square miles, or roughly 12.5 percent of the area of the Sonora desert .
The Salton sea has no outlet, and has huge algae blooms that are causing mass fish die offs and , and the salt level is rising to the point that nothing will live in it soon .
Also phosphates from agriculture are washing into the salton sea .
Massive Algae track ponds fed by this water could be used to desalinate the salton sea, lower the phosphate levels, and provide enough oil to power the entire US .
It is hard to believe, but the math is there, and the Algae really is just a very efficient form of solar energy . The simplest life forms are often the best at one task .

Another point of this strain that is being missed is the mortality rate so far .
20 - 50 million world wide died in a time before widespread food shipment and travel .
A pandemic has reoccured with regularity every few decades, but this is shaping up to be the deadliest in modern times if the mortality rates are anywhere near what they are now .

a planned space program to the moon .
The city of industry in California is a tax/tariff free zone that large amounts of
near shored product is stored til it is ready to ship/truck/air/rail to consumers here
in the US .
Many billions of dollars is what allowed china to build a mag lev rail, not lack of
railroads .
Here is a map of the railroads in china .
http://www.nordling.nu/schaefer/chinamap.gif
Only the deep interior has a lack of railroads .
Singapore is losing its grip on cash flow due to other nations undercutting them
cost wise , and that is why u see M$ investing in India not Singapore .
It is all about a race to the bottom, whoever does it for less, gets the billions .
The rest will have to make due with what they can scrape up and hope they
can do something for less than the rest of the world .
In the not so distant future, u will see nothing manufactured in the US, and you will
see no food grown here, and truck drivers will not be citizens as well as all manual
labor .
Mexican truck drivers can already cross from mexico into the US thou they cannot read the
signs, and the trucks do not have to meet the safety standards that US trucks do .
Yea baby !!! yea !!!!

I guess Bugmenot just needs to make a verification script/zombie so the "fakes"

Take it a step further, some less than reputable folks have the
ActiveX recognition keys to popular common sites that ppl select for auto
install. Thus they are pushing ActiveX crap to you pretending to be
some site that ppl go to often .
ActiveX is the #1 way a M$ box ends up with spyware .
Also on Windows create a VERY limited user account and do all your work
from it, and install Firefox, and you will find yourself with
no spyware .
If you need to install something or do something admin level , then
just relog as Admin acct .

So this begs the question, if the field is getting weaker, and more
radiation is hitting the earth, then is that putting more "heat"
in the atmosphere .
If so, could this be part of global warming .

I think the best hope for bio-fuels is the Algae research being done, it already
outpaces soybean oil by a massive magnitude . In fact I don't think any other known bio
process can beat the Algae production of oil at this time .
Article here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiesel
Excerpt:
* Soybean: 40 to 50 US gal/acre (40 to 50 m/km)
* Rapeseed: 110 to 145 US gal/acre (100 to 140 m/km)
* Mustard: 140 US gal/acre (130 m/km)
* Jatropha: 175 US gal/acre (160 m/km)
* Palm oil: 650 US gal/acre (610 m/km) [2]
* Algae: 10,000 to 20,000 US gal/acre (10,000 to 20,000 m/km)
Further information:
http://www.unh.edu/p2/biodiesel/article_alge.html
Excerpt:
Enough biodiesel to replace all petroleum transportation fuels could be grown in 15,000 square miles, or roughly 12.5 percent of the area of the Sonora desert .
The Salton sea has no outlet, and has huge algae blooms that are causing mass fish die offs
and , and the salt level is rising to the point that nothing will live in it soon .
Also phosphates from agriculture are washing into the salton sea .
Massive Algae track ponds fed by this water could be used to desalinate the salton sea, lower
the phosphate levels, and provide enough oil to power the entire US .
It is hard to believe, but the math is there, and the Algae really is just a very efficient form of
solar energy . The simplest life forms are often the best at one task .

My uncle worked for SBC for 35 years, and may I say that the management and
ownership border on biblical evil and would sell their mothers soul for the bottom line .
The president here in Oklahoma just walked out under protest because he could no
longer stomach what they intended to do to their own workers .
They do not care about progress, they care about fat wallets and stock prices .
They will use predatory business practices to get their way, and they are the true
core of the AT&T break up, and are in line to buy back AT&T thus nullifying the
huge anti-trust break up .
These ppl are unethical, and basically evil at the top of SBC .
Them buying yahoo made me sad .

Or perhaps this is so deep under the ocean that the pressure raises the boiling point significantly?
Yes, pressure alters the boiling temp a GREAT deal .
Naval ships use high pressure boilers to make 1,200 lb. steam to run their turbines if they
are not Gas Turbine ships .

Thanks for your comments but your casualty expectations may be overblown.
I am quoting an article someone else wrote you retard .
They are not "my" expectations . To many ppl just sit around looking to Troll .

Do you code better when it's something you're interested in, or when you're waiting for 5 o'clock? I think that's what it comes down to.
Oh man, this is so true .
During the boom years I worked for a few different companies as I moved up to get paid up .
Cisco Systems was the last one before the crash, glad I was there rather than one of the start ups
my friends ended up, Their last checks bounced .
But at ALL of the companies, cisco included a LOT of ppl were there for the pay not for the job .
Me and my friend rob would stay some nights til 8 pm or later and end up helping out Sustaining,
R&D, or Test with some problem with the test beds that were often rack mounted in different racks
and in different rows and interconnected by copper T1's, T3's, V.35, POTS, and Ethernet for Cisco's
VoIP lab there in Herndon .
In a 5 month time window I recv'd 3 cash bonuses for being there after hours, and was resented by
the 5 o'clockers for it .
When the lay offs came though it did not matter a hill of beans, we all got canned .

Mr. Bush has already made his intentions clear .
e wsid=5596
He has publicly stated if a pandemic strikes there will be martial law, and
the national guard, state police, local police, and "other" authorities will
block "all" travel .
My quetion to this is , who is gonna stop the birds from flying around ???
Want to take that to a WHOLE new level ???

Remember the civet cat and Sars ???? Oh my, guess what .
This virus is changing, and it is not done changing .
http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn8372
If this thing becomes transmitible to the common house cat, killing and eating birds in
every city that has alley cats . We got ourselves a recipe for a bad situation .
Another point of this strain that is being missed is the mortality rate so far .
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?n
If this thing kicks off at anywhere near this supposed 75%, it will be worse than the plague .
Some current numbers put it under 50% and lets hope it becomes less deadly as it mutates .
Keep in mind the 1918 pandemic was 2 - 5%, and not with modern medicine .
This has the potential for a major catastrophe .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu
20 - 50 million world wide died in a time before widespread food shipment and travel .
A pandemic has reoccured with regularity every few decades, but this is shaping up to be
the deadliest in modern times if the mortality rates are anywhere near what they are now .
I hope all countries around the world take this VERY seriously .
