I would imagine the Port of New Orleans is outside the city proper,
just as the Port of Portland is. Must be they have electricity there.

I hope the fact that Delta flew
me to Hartford and back for free did not cause them to file for
bankruptcy?

It didn't help any.

Have not been posting to much. Been working on the worlds
most powerful electric bush wacker. Florida has some very high tough
weeds. Its almost like bamboo. I posted a picture of my creation here
about an hour ago;. Could be a lot safer for the Sears tower if there
are no big planes in the air. I always like the idea of people
traveling in pneumatic pipes(tubes) at 1500 mph,and staying as close to
the ground as possible. Most banks use this at their out door windows.
Swish and your there. Beert

Yeah, I've given that a lot of thought. Seems that it would be safer
too. Don't know about the costs of building such long tubes. Have
thought about evacuated tubes too. A rocket powered vehicle could go
at incredible speed through an evacuated tube.

Perhaps when the oil finally runs out the oil industry will
realize Officer Bert's dream of pressurized capsule tube travel as
having been mass travel practical but alas too late. For the possible
made renewable petroleum based tubes will not be future feasible because
all the non renewable oil reserves were 20th and early 21st century low
gas economy fast cars burned up. Oh the humanity, in the investor market
lust for oil mega profits they overlooked the long term benefits of
applied renewable technology versus cheap quick short term turning a
huge profit ones. Even mega millions Congress lobbying China now wants a
piece of the potential remaining US oil profits, what with the looming
$700,000,000,000 + annual China trade deficit nightmare. Unless the US
comes up with a viable renewable energy technology that is non oil based
as Dr. Tesla warned could mandatory learning how to read Chinese not be
far behind?


I'm not too concerned about running out of fuel. Coal can be
liquefied, and alcohol can be brewed. The only reason these aren't
currently our main source of fuel is because they are more expensive
than petroleum based gas and oil. But as the price of oil rises, that
will change. And then there are those deposits of methane hydrate on
the ocean floors, that constitute at least twice as much available fuel
as all the oil and gas deposits in the world. But the trouble with all
of these fuels is that they all burn oxygen out of the air. I seem to
be the only one worried about the supply of oxygen, but keep your ears
open. I have a strong premonition that this will be recognized as a
problem in the future!


Nay says the Captain for the nightbat is here. Sci.physics TJ tried but
his engine still had to burn oil, the hydrogen cars look good but after
huge research investment still burn more energy in creating the fuel
then high technology extracted for utility. Same with solar, wind farms,
limited large expensive dam site hydro, and crop derived oil. Fast Food
french fry spent oil has them all presently beat but how do you apply it
on an already looming outstripped National or World Wide demand basis?
It does work for the altered diesel engine converted few because of it
waste being free and absence of taxes. And how many full working time
limited masses can or are willing to go pick-up 55 gallons of the free
spent oil stuff when limited available and lug it around? Hopeful fusion
is just 20 years around the corner so the remaining petroleum oil
reserve profits look real good if you don't mind dealing with possible
heating and fuel pump chaos and road rage potential riots and
revolution.


Yes, fusion could be the answer. It could be the answer for space
flight as well. Can you imaging the power of a fusion rocket?


Of course Officer ascertaining a Darla net purported Starship would make
the present planetary oil problem moot because you would be leaving the
planet for potential bigger and better things then present time modern
life dependent infighting over black gold. Theoretically you could per
Relativity and Darla reported Starship slow age then return 50 years
later after the fusion problem was hopefully solved and Earth
civilization didn't destroy each other in the mean time.

carry on,
the nightbat


As long as they haven't built all the more fusion bombs!
