I think the UN should do something useful for once and make
an all out effort to advance the (some say unachievable) goal of a practical Cold Fusion free energy generator. Yes, yes, I'm aware of just how daunting a task that breakthrough-of-all-time would be, but can anyone think of anything more important to the future of humankind than having a sufficient source of the energy needed to enable continued Civilization? Without enough energy to go around, a nightmare world similar to Mad Max could very well be in our species future. Fossil fuels certainly can't last too many more decades, especially with hugely populated nations like India and China making leaps and bounds in their use of fossil fuels, seeking "progression". At the same time, the UN could also encourage the continued advancement in the development and use of devices to harness the virtually inexhaustible and massive amounts of energy flooding our little blue/green gem, from the mighty Sun. If only Humankind could get past the obstacles of Foolish Pride and stubborn Suspicion, and start working together to solve these seemingly unsolvable technical challenges. I think, then, it could be done. But, as I said, the problem of just tolerating each other, to live and LET live, is absolutely vital. This is, unfortunately, the hardest nut of all to crack. I don't remember who it was who said that intelligent civilizations could only last until the technology was sufficiently advanced to the point where the means to TOTAL SELF DESTRUCTION was easily available. It's looking more and more like we may be getting very near that point. Iran building Nukes. North Korea possibly testing Nukes YESTERDAY-SUNDAY. International Terror possibly possessing some type of Nuclear devices, most likely dirty bombs, but full chain-reactive fission, or even fusion!, explosive nightmare weapons not completely out of the question. We've been shocked and surprised before, let's not get TOO sure of ourselves about what these misanthropists are incapable of pulling off. My speech has gone on too far. The apples of my eye are pressing me to use this contraption to have a bit of fun with their friends. I intend on doing everything in my limited power to be part of the solution, instead of part of the problem, to make sure my precious little gremlins can use this thing for many years to come.

Cactus88 nightbat Ok, Cactus88, I'll get on it right away, oh wait, didn't someone on these groups say that the end of the oil age was upon us? Didn't they say they had the engine that was ending the oil crisis. Didn't they say it wasn't a tale? Didn't a lot of folks flame them but they went bravely on stating that the US Navy or Big three Auto boys short changed them or something to that effect?

And what ever happened to Mr.Cagle's none nuclear regulatory license necessary miniature fusion device? You sound very urgent about your convictions to help solve the world crisis of energy demands. Send money now to the Uncle Al save the children fund. Save energy now, shower with a lover. Stop the presses, Cactus88 wants a workable solution now. Ok, ok, I'll get on it right away. the nightbat |

There is no such thing as "cold" fusion. Many moons ago I have worked
out a way to create "pulse" fusion. It would cost 2 billion dollars,and use the method i use for my fastest pictures(stopping light) in the world. This is a lot cheaper Columbia spent foolng with the Russian Rube Goldberg "Tokamak" My method will work,and comes with a money back warranty Bert PS Gates where are you? |

The water used in agriculture, will always remain to be water, continuously resupplying in a cycle. You can't have a net gain of energy from colf fusion unless some of that water is no longer water, unless I'm missing a point of how that works. That is the same argument I hear about alcohol. Corn does not make an effective base for alcohol production. So what? Is that the only way we can mass produce alcohol? Save the corn for the cows. http://biotech.about.com/library/wee...romgarbage.htm http://www.iogen.ca/3000.html http://www.oceanethanol.com/ Rick |

Corn does not make an effective base for alcohol production. So what? Is that the only way we can mass produce alcohol? ethanol? pretty much the only economical way. economic alcohol from cellulose would be a major breakthrough. the brazilians use bagasse (cane sugar waste) to make alcohol, but you run into the same economics. methanol from coal is doable, but its also an energy intensive process. Save the corn for the cows. http://biotech.about.com/library/wee...romgarbage.htm yeah, but you need garbage in the first place. you will always get out less energy than the energy put in to make the product in the first place. http://www.iogen.ca/3000.html http://www.oceanethanol.com/ Rick |
