contain the oil in the Gulf, but they are burning endangered sea turtles in the process. Word is that BP is using fire-resistant booms to enclose a certain quantity of oil and then setting the enclosure on fire.
Of course, it's also just plain wrong to view turtlecide as an acceptable by-product of a corporate mentality which dictates that the cheapest, most expedient solution is the best, even if it results in toxic fumes and death by fire to innocent wildlife that happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
technique for cleansing seawater called "Ozonix technology" on behalf of Ecosphere Technologies, Inc. You can check out the CNN interview here. Turns out that Bledsoe and his pal Troy Aikman are both investors in Ecosphere Energy Services, LLC, a majority owned subsidiary of Ecosphere Technologies.
clean-up effort. Major selling points of this technology include the following: 1. the process does not rely on chemical dispersants that may harm the environment; and 2. each machine operating on the surface purports to clean approximately one million gallons of water a day. According to Bledsoe, Ecosphere Technologies is ready to unleash 26 of these bad boys in the Gulf as soon as BP gives them the green light.
on April 20, up to two million barrels of oil per day may have been leaking into the Gulf before BP managed to cap the busted well on June 3 and start capturing some of the rogue oil. In other words, BP has done its very best to foul our environment on an unprecedented scale. Given BP's rather callous response to the environmental cataclysm they've unleashed in the Gulf, I'm convinced that they, along with their metanat corporate cronies, are secretly constructing a lunar colony on the dark side of the moon, to be completed right around the time they finish rendering this planet unfit for human habitation. Otherwise, the studied indifference of BP CEO Tony Hayward and his mates to this disaster is hard to fathom.
On February 17, 2009, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was signed into law by President Obama. The new law includes extensions of the Energy Efficiency Tax Incentives first enacted in 2005 as well as some new tax credits for people building or remodeling their homes using eco-friendly or “green” materials.
The concept of a flying automobile has captivated us for decades. When I was but a wee Systocrat, I remember thinking how cool it would be to own a flying car, like George Jetson's ride or the fusion-powered Delorean featured in Back to the Future. Recently, an old friend reminded me of our childhood scheme, hatched from an ad in the back of a comic book, to build a hovercraft using a vacuum cleaner engine.
I think the flying car of today that most resembles my flying car of tomorrow, at least in theory, is the Moller M200G Volantor. This car achieves its lift by virtue of 8 fans beneath the car, which in turn are each powered by a rotary engine. The altitude of the car is limited to 10 feet, and it can fly over any surface - land, water or ice - with equal ease. Apparently, the M200G is also built with composite materials and can run on an ethanol/water fuel mixture. All steps in the right direction.
