(OT) : The Case for Nuking Texas

On 9/19/2010 3:54 PM, Joe from Kokomo wrote: Well, it's not energy [from volcanoes] per se. It's the gaseous droplets and particulate matter ejected into the air by volcanoes. Absolute FACT #1: Carbon dioxide IS a "greenhouse" gas (lets solar heat in but won't let it escape). On 9/19/2010 7:31 PM, John Smith wrote: Actually, cO2 is rather benign and not any real thing to worry about. I don't know about "benign"; above a certain percentage, carbon dioxide will kill you...but that wasn't my point. The point IS that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, and as more and more CO2 is introduced to the atmosphere, more and more solar energy is captured, thus raising the earth's temperature. On 9/19/2010 7:31 PM, John Smith wrote: Anyone growing marijuana or aquarium plants, and supplying them with excess cO2, knows the voracious appetite of plants for carbon dioxide. The effect of adding more cO2 is very dramatic on plant growth. When we finally find another fuel source, the plants will clean up this problem very quickly. All life on this planet is carbon based, carbon is a nutrient, not a poison. Again, no one said CO2 is a poison per se (even though it -will- kill you above a certain concentration). The problem with your plant theory is at least two fold: 1) More and more green areas are being "developed" (paved over). 2) The rain forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. If your plant theory is such a miracle cure (and "cleaning up the problem very quickly"), why do the ice samples show CO2 is INCREASING at such a rapid rate? All those plants that were going to save us must be loafing. ;-) On 9/19/2010 7:31 PM, John Smith wrote: However, there is one detrimental effect of cO2. It is dissolving in the oceans which provide a natural buffering (absorbing) medium. This is causing a slight rise in the acidity of the oceans, and particularly near shorelines, and this is detrimental on the shells of mussels, clams, etc. There are probably other problems with the excess cO2 that I am not aware of, as this is not a great matter of concern to me. You are correct...and there -are- other problems that -should- be of concern to you (Law of Unintended Consequences). Bottom line is we (the world population) cannot just keep pumping bazillions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, year after year, and not expect to have negative consequences. On 9/19/2010 7:31 PM, John Smith wrote: More nuclear plants would be a good answer, until we find the next energy source, however, there is even more opposition to the use of nuclear power plants than coal/oil fired plants. One thing is for sure, nuclear will only be a temporary solution when we run out of oil/coal, as this is in limited supply also. I almost agree with you, but unfortunately, with your nuclear power solution, you overlook two critical issues: 1) Nuclear fuel is extremely energy intensive to produce. Takes a lot of time and power to run those centrifuges...and due to fear of nuclear proliferation, breeder reactors may not be on the horizon any time soon. 2) We have to live with and safely store the waste from the nuclear power plants for a while, like say, 50,000 years or so. Regards, Joe Luckily, there is Thorium nuclear. A SUPERB alternative to ordinary U or Pu fission, very plentiful fuel (about 1,000 years' worth), much shorter-lived waste ( a couple hundred vs a couple hundred thou), technology already there, India& France among others will have these online in a couple of years, a great stopgap until we can move onward to efficient solar and/or Fusion. All we have to do overcome the immense influence of the fossil fuel industry and we Americans, too, could advance into the 21st century... |

American nuke Warheads are MADE in Texas.
Arrah, T'aint Nobody going to nuke Texas. Mississippi either, why would anybody want to (Charlie Rangel ~ Why would anybody want to live in Mississippi?) nuke this old backwater hick State of Mississippi? Get your head screwed on Right. cuhulin |

Had there been a military application at the time, Thorium nuclear would have eclipsed the introduction of Ra-Pu nuclear. It's been around that long. The only reason Thorium nuclear didn't take off at the time, is that Thorium can't be used to make bombs. And it's hardly unproven technology. The Navy has been using it for decades. |

Dan Modisett at WLBT TV news, he just now apologized to any Hyena (and
there a photo of a rabid Hyena) that that other guy might have offended.It was about those people going on those crime sprees around here, acting like Hyenas. http://www.devilfinder.com Dan Modisett WLBT cuhulin |
