Yeah forged ceramic powdered metal will make cars superlite and super strong.

Set into a thermoplastic body/frame. Like bones in your body. The thermoplastic will be filled with foam that absorbs impact and vibration.

A semi will be able to drive over a car like this at 70 mph and the occupants will be unhurt.

Then a 1200 pound car can be driven by electric motors running on batteries, that can be charged while driving, for longer trips, by a small, light, very high rpm biofuel generator.

Eventually replaced by a methanol fuel cell.

Turning Rove's abortion wedge issue back on him. The ultimate political wedgie!

Well here's my solution, an excellent plank in our party platform.

Since we are in favor of choice above all else, we could bring real choice for women unable to care for a child for financial or other reasons...who can't reconcile abortion as a personal choice ...by providing government services to support that decision by these women.

Guaranteed safe timely adoption and financial support, so that women are not forced by circumstance to have an abortion against their personal choice.

Hillary has talked about it...I think it's a political position that will swing the moderate voters back to our side. we do a Rove on 'em, use thewir own wedge issue to give them the ultimate political wedgie. Hehehey.

And we prove we are the party of real values once again!

NYT forum post in response to a comment that wind power is too volatile to rely on.

This whole conversion will take substantial investment of course.

But that investment will yield stable energy prices independent of rising fuel costs, including nuclear. And nuclear waste storage costs are the proverbial crazy aunt hidden in the attic.

What will the investment be on the part of government? A fraction of what has already been spent on oil wars (100's of billions), the economic devestation from oil wars and terror (trillions), and the coming economic devestation from fossil fuel generated CO2 related global climate change and increased volatility.

How much will it cost to build seawalls or move whole cities as ocean levels rise and storms become more and more violent? how much for the US? How much worldwide?

The refining part of the energy equation is a means of mass energy storage. When excess wind power is available refine more fuel.

Plugin hybrid vehicles also store a huge amount of wind electric power.

Almost no absolutely fixed load exists in the entire grid. It is mainly variable. And wind or solar volatility over one machine in one location is no measure of wind electric availability over an entire grid covering the north american continent.

And this is without adding the other huge source, wave and ocean current power into the whole scheme. Will the wind and waves and solar power ever stop simultaneously continent wide?

Doubtful. But of course the old fossil fuel grid exists as backup for the entire system.

This whole plan would need an upgrade of the national power grid and extension into the high wind and solar areas of the northern great plains in the US and Canada.

I am also including square miles of solar cogeneration over parking lots, on rooftops, and over farming operations in the desert areas of the US.

Solar cogeneration that provides desalinization and water recycling, solar heating and cooling capacity,biofuel in the form of methane and hydrogen, and solar electric power.

And the holy grail of renewable energy? Superconducting electric power storage rings to even out the power fluctuations in the national grid.

But as you say...let's get to that 20% figure as soon as possible while the best solutions to energy storage are discovered.

I like the thermal mass idea for residential and commercial heating and cooling.

Heat storage phase change salt solutions are already practical for this use, and of course just the installation of radiant heating/cooling in cement structures of new and existing buildings is also a viable solution that saves energy immediately no matter the source.

Just say duuuh..duuuuh..duuubya sheople.

by amazngdrx on Mon 18 Apr 2005 11:59 AM CDT

No concept of reality..no problems...

Yeah the markets are lookin real healthy...401ks disappearing into the hedge fund insider trading ether again..whoops...whiff those fumes sheople..

But that won't happen with private accounts...riiight..

Neoconman fantasies are good enough for the loyal faithbased sheople.

Iraq is working out fine. The economy..fantastic! The future..so bright they need to wear shades.

Wing nut sheople should simply be declared an unprotected species.

If it's good enough for cats? It's good enough for sheop.

That would solve so many problems at once. Hehehey

All good sheop just say duuuh..bya..and hail the Reagan revolution. The sheople vote against their own interests now.

They vote for 3,4,5,6...dollar gas.

They vote for tax breaks for corporations to move their jobs overseas.

They vote for continuous oil wars that bankrupt the US government.

They vote for corporate power unlimited that destroys the earth for short term profits.

They vote to make the rich richer on the mistaken idea that then the rich will protect them.

Stoog..ocracy?

I have a Moe analysis of bushco inc.

Based on the David Steinberg bit.

Bush and friends want to be Moe, and figure if they act like Moe, it will make them a Moe. But they will always be Shemps.

Shemp tried to act like a Moe constantly, but it never worked.

What counters a Moe? A Curly.

So the key is to be a Curly in reality, but act like a Moe.

So that's what we need for '08. A curly who acts like a Moe.

That's what the comeback kid is, think about it. Hehehey.

The wisdom of The Stooges shall set US free.

Let my people go..nyuk nyuk nyuk!

Arabian nights meets Dallas.

Gas rapidly approaching 3 bucks per gallon. That makes consumers, investors, and businesses all very confident.

Neeehaaaaw, business is booming where it counts..texyass and saudi.

The sheople voted for it, now they got it.

They all just love saudis and texans. But only the oil rich ones...it's like a teeeveee fairy tale. Dallas meets the arabian nights.

The Iraq War and reconstruction was supposed to cost US 1.7 billion.

200 billion later...the contractors with america are claiming the contract is a success!

Welcome to the new improved america sheople, just bend over.. and say duuuh... bya...

Oil wars versus wind power.

by amazngdrx on Mon 18 Apr 2005 11:39 AM CDT

amazingdrx - 12:35 PM ET April 17, 2005 (#36521 of 37321)

The 200 billion spent on the Iraq part of the oil wars alone...would be enough to build half the generating capacity of the US with wind machines...

...that would power plugin hybrids getting 100 mpg, and replacing the need for imported oil with domestic clean energy production.

But the sheople like war, it is so glorious.

It makes them reminiesce about the wonders of the Civil War. So I guess it's worth it, as long as it makes them happy..er..wistful..

Well they are never happy...let's say gleefully vengeful..the closest they ever come to happy.

Culture of life.

Don't forget the most important part of "the culture of life" (cue angels choking and regifting)...

The right to undie! It is mandatory for those families who have a home to confiscate to pay the medical bills.

A family member dies, the hospital corporation ghouls insert machines, and the profiterring goes on...as long as the cash from selling their home in a foreclosure auction lasts!!

It's feeding tubes for the lot of ya! Arrrrrhhhh! Avast matey, hoist the yard arm, there's piratin' to be done.

Bike ride..ski lift-like urban travel?

by amazngdrx on Sun 10 Apr 2005 01:17 PM CDT

amazingdrx - 2:16 PM ET April 10, 2005 (#11263 of 11264)

In cities with hilly terrain a system of escalators that people can ride uphill with their bicycles, roller blades, skateboards..would provide green transportation similar to the way a downhill ski resort works.

A wind electric powered escalator lifts you up the hill...you ride, glide down the hills to your destination, strategically taking different escalators around the city scape.

A real urban planning design challenge, one that many designers would relish!

NYT forum reply to a poster claiming hybrid humvees won't solve the oil shortage.

Plugin hybrids are the answer, a plugin battery pack added to a hybrid extends the electric power only range. It can get you over 100 mpg on short trips..under 70 milres between chargiing stations.

As battery techology increases and costs decrease due to mass production, hybrids with small biofueled generators replacing the gasoline engine in the hybrid will be possible.

Lot's of bike trails and lanes, electric powered public transportation that allows bicycles to be carried on board, trains, buses, and local loop vans ...

...Will all do a lot to solve the huge transportation inefficiency involved in one SUV per passenger commuting.
