Sound familiar? Been around for centuries. Problem is we have bought into the theory that anything we humans do is destructive to the environment and therefore should be eliminated. Some would go so far as to include all of us, as we, they conclude, contribute to the problem.
It seems to me that it is time to show these bozos, who have used our system of freedom to advance their repressive ideals, that they are truly
out of step and in the minority and we will not allow it to happen. Ours is the very best system in the world and we should do all possible to protect it. We should not allow offshore companies to delude the American public into believing that they are superior, and therefore should replace our own highly efficient and high quality products, that in most cases the American company was the inventor of. Let us begin to explore and use, the wonderfully developed products that American industry has provided, and show the world that ours is the template of freedom that most desire, rather than the quirky society that the press seems to love to show the world. We are so much better than that!! Reply

It does seem that this article underestimates the impact cityZenn and ZENNergy drive systems could have on the entire EV market. Incremental change is not what the market wants these days...they want a revolutionary leap in capability and if EEStor produces, that's what they will get.bariumtitanate.blogspo... Reply

Yucca Mountain has too many faults to gaurantee containment integrity for the radioative lifetime of the waste. While the prospect of radioactive waste leaching into the water table in 10000 years (plus or minus) may seem an unreasonable concern to many of those living now, some people prefer to deal with our own problems rather than passing them to future generations.As for burying it along a convergent plate boundary (CA, OR, WA... NIMBY, anyone?), there are several factors that make this prohibitive: 1) dewatering of subducting plate may allow waste materials to leach upward along the plate boundary and thru faults; 2) the volumes of waste material (much of which is solid) can't be piped down 10's of 1000's of feet thru a well-sized hole... it would require a massive pit (issues with structural collapse from overburden of rock, flooding of the shaft requiring a massive pumping system, and what happens when earthquakes hit while you're digging thru hard and soft rock layers... and they will); and 3) if you somehow get it all down there and buried, there is no gaurantee it won't integrate into magma that's headed toward the surface in a few hundred or thousand years (what happens if it sprays into the air as part of an ash cloud?).
Bottom line, Yucca Mountain is too expensive a boondoggle for a temporary storage solution (100 years +/- until a better solution should be found), one that politicians might choose to turn a blind eye to later. The mine shaft to Hades is a non-starter (more expensive and unpredictable than Yucca Mtn.). Far better to try and reprocess/recycle/repu... what there is, and limit the new waste being produced (phase out nuclear reactors in favor of wind, wave, pv, solarthermal, and geothermal). If you insist on using nuclear power, pour money into developing thorium-based reactors (theoretically safer, fuel is more abundant, and produces far less radioactive waste) to replace the uranium reactors.

Sad Oil Git - Re Nuclear Waste - Do you realize there are often volcanos in that ring of fire around the techtonic plate edges? And mountain building goes on around techtonic plates - it could end up on top of or inside a mountain - what a great waterfall that would be. And do you really want to gamble that the waste will have made it down to the magma before a volcano erupts? Now that could be an interesting volcanic eruption if it included nuclear waste. That volcanic ash cloud could circle the globe in a short time. And those old familiar claims that we can bury the waste deep enough not to reappear in the ground water - I don't want to drink any of the "spring water" from that area - do you?

As the market continues to go down, shipping, which used to be a safe haven, now looks like it may be subject to a downward trend. Here's a pretty good podcast that discusses what to during this down market and what's going on with coal, steel, bulk shipping, and agriculture.the main idea is that individual investors dont have to act like institutional investors and this market and may be better holding cash than trying to beat the market.

What's not to be happy? A beautifully balanced, egalitarian society that enjoys sensible solutions to problems and has those delicious long summer days.(How Danes feel in the winter may be another matter.)
Personally, I've seen nothing more hopeful and harmonious than a spread of wind energy fans whether they be in Europe or California. Reply

we have known since 1973 (or earlier) that there is nothing more efficient than a steel wheel on a steel rail. nevertheless - thanks to d.d.eisenhower and the trucking industry lobby we use rubber tires. remember the 1920's in los angeles - they had the best interurban light rail system in the country, then these were bought up by union oil, genaral motors & firestone acting in concert, the rails were torn up & sold for scrap (the nipponese needed the iron to make bombs for china) & the system was replaced by stinky diesel buses. in 1967 we had the w&od railway in my neighborhood, a nice little freight carrying commuter railroad, but then the rails were torn up & sold for scrap & the right of way became a powerline r.o.w. so - shortsightedness never ends.> jack Reply

Actually I think burying deep into the lithosphere on the edge of a convergent tectonic plate is the best bet. That will eventually send it into the Earth's core where it came from. Plus it will give all the out-of-work drilling companies something to do when we run out of oil. ReplySome Consequences if Oil Prices Stay High [view article]
Also, regarding shooting nuclear waste into space via rocket; Nuclear waste is extremely heavy, heavier than lead. Massive rockets would be necessary. Along with the risk of scattering nuclear material if there were a rocket explosion as said above. Burying it in a deep hold under Yucca mountain, or similar place, seems the best solution at this point. ReplySome Consequences if Oil Prices Stay High [view article]
I don't see anything about bicycles in your article. They have been used for a century in much of the world. I predict a significant return to them in the United States out of economic necesssity. Reply
