We just got dumped with a butt-load last night, way more than the amount that was forecast. It's still snowing. And it's all heading East. And which part of the world would you be in? You know, but unless you say, no one else will. Frank's up in the North West. Finally saw snow yesterday morn and it melted within a couple of hours here on Long Island. Weren't you in the 70's just a couple weeks ago? I see Bush is finally admitting to the existance of global warming but said **** all to the Kyoto agreement. Big business has him in their pocket. When will business figure out they can make money protecting the environment? At the risk of sounding like a Republican, business follows the markets, and the current markets are driven by the "buy-now-pay-later" mentality of the current generation. So if you want to change business priorities you need to change consumer priorities. And cheap gasoline has a higher priority than the environment. Funny though, the solution is so simple: fusion. The government should be dumping every last penny into research into fusion research. It would be like having a chunk of the Sun right here on Earth, to tap for as much energy as we need for the next thousand years. That's the future if the human race is going to survive; the only question is whether we will choose to do it now or later. not every penny with any kind of crash program you get lots of waste and bad results (witness our efforts to buy our way out of the vproblems we sufer from in Homeland security and there I am not sure we are being ripped off so much as pushinng from intersting prototype to production WAY too fast) but even fuision isn't needed that badly serious pursuit of Fission tecjh we already have could make a BIG difference but fission like fusion seems to suffer to suffer from the fact that the word bomb got attached to them indeed in college I work on Nuclear magnetic resoance scanner we had BIG trouble geting funding till some bright eye got the idea of Calling it Magentic Resonace scaning, then funding and production fast. indeed I currently suspect we have had that tech years before if the word "nuclear" had not appeared in our grant proposals |
