Sorry Chris,

But the illegal invasion and occupation was not to remove Saddam from

That was the intent during the first Gulf War.  The US succeeded  to a

[biofuel] Hydrogen Reactor

2004-02-13 Thread Frederick E. Finch

Personally I am not a big believer in a hydrogen economy but this did get 
the interest of our local paper.

fred



http://startribune.com/stories/1592/4374132.html


Associated Press

University reactor shows promise for `hydrogen economy'

Researchers at the University of Minnesota say they have built a prototype 
reactor that produces hydrogen from ethanol so efficiently that it could 
one day power conventional fuel cells for homes.

The technology is cheaper and more efficient than the current commercial 
method of capturing hydrogen from fuel, which is done with fossil fuels in 
large refineries, the scientists said. They said the reactor they built is 
much smaller and simpler and requires less energy.

Their technology could be coupled with a fuel cell to generate nearly 
enough energy to power an average-sized home, according to the scientists, 
who will publish their findings in the Feb. 13 issue of the magazine Science.

``This points to a way to make renewable hydrogen that may be economical 
and available,'' said Lanny Schmidt, a chemical engineer who led the study. 
Gregg Deluga and graduate student James Salge also worked on the project. 
All three are in the department of chemical engineering and materials science.
The men built the reactor, a 2-foot-high apparatus of tubes, valves and 
wires, in a laboratory on the university's East Bank. The hydrogen-driven 
fuel cell they envision might be a little larger than a coffee cup.

Right now, hydrogen can be made cheaply only in large refineries that use 
fuels such as natural gas.
The new technology holds promise for a ``hydrogen economy'' that would use 
hydrogen to fuel cars and make electricity. It also holds economic 
potential for Midwest farmers, who are leaders in the production of 
corn-based ethanol. A bushel of corn, the researchers said, yields three 
times as much power if its energy is channeled into hydrogen fuel cells 
rather than burned with gasoline.

Hydrogen, a clean energy source, emits no pollution or greenhouse gases. 
President Bush supports funding for the development of hydrogen-powered 
fuel cells that are commercially viable.

George Sverdrup, a technology manager at the National Renewable Energy 
Laboratory, said he was encouraged by the research.
``When hydrogen takes a foothold and penetrates the marketplace, it will 
probably come from a variety of sources and be produced by a variety of 
techniques,'' he said. ``So this particular advance and technology that 
Minnesota is reporting on would be one component in a big system.''
While ethanol could be an important part of a hydrogen economy, Sverdrup 
said it's unlikely corn itself would be enough to support the entire system.
The University of Minnesota researchers initially envision people buying 
ethanol to power the small fuel cell in homes in remote areas where 
installing power lines isn't feasible. The cell could produce 1 kilowatt of 
power, nearly enough for an average home.
According to their estimate, a gallon of ethanol costing $1 could be used 
to produce energy for about 4 cents per kilowatt hour. That would be in the 
ballpark with national figures for the cost of raw energy, said a spokesman 
for the Edison Electric Institute, a national energy association.

Re: [biofuel] Great letter Keith - was: I am building abiodiesel Plant in Nebraska USA

2004-02-04 Thread Frederick E. Finch
 just turn out to be as big a
 nightmare as Big Oil has been, with wall-to-wall industrialized
 monocrops of GMO soy and canola, for one thing, along with all the
 usual externalisations. The silly thing about that, or one of
 them anyway, is that industrialized monocropping of biofuels crops
 would be (is) just as fossil-fuel-dependent as industrialized
 monocropping of anything else is. Not exactly the best way to
 produce sustainable biofuels, nor any way at all towards a
 sustainable energy future.
 
 What you'll mostly see here about the big companies is news of yet
 another case of a commercial company causing problems distributing
 sub-standard biodiesel, discussion of how they bend their own rules
 to exclude small-producers, and of how they only promote B20, and
 at best don't know much about B100 or at worst they're against it.
 
 Anyway, as far as making biodiesel a household item is concerned,
 the NBB was recently given a large grant to do just that, which
 caused some chuckles here on the lists because they're not very
 good at it (though they seem to be pretty good at writing grant
 proposals), nor are their commercial-producer members much good at
 it, despite their big PR agency accounts. In fact they admit that
 we're much better at it than they are (and we do it for nothing).
 
 No, another commercial producer isn't going to change anything
 much, even if it happens. A really sustainable energy future will
 take a lot more than merely substituting biofuels for fossil-fuels,
 it needs greatly reduced energy use, greatly improved energy
 efficiency, and most important, decentralization of supply to the
 local level.
 
 Which last brings us to this:
 
 Once we are up and running we will be developing small production
 units available to everyone who wants to buy one.  We also will come
 to your area all over the world and help you set it up you home
 production unit for safety reasons.
 
 We want everyone have the opportunity to make your own biodiesel and
 use it!
 
 Oh dear, more one-size-fits-all ready-made biodiesel processors,
 something else that has failed to impress. Do an archive search for
 Fuelmeister, for instance:
 http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
 
 That aside, I don't see how you're going to fit this last bit into
 the same package as a large commercial plant, they're two quite
 different operations with virtually nothing in common, or even
 incompatible: a big, centralised producer undermining its own
 market potential by encouraging independent, localised production
 of the same product? I don't think it'll look good in your business
 plan.
 
 Only a tiny minority will ever be willing to make their own fuel
 anyway, no matter how push-button it might become in the future -
 home production units are not an answer to the energy crisis,
 except for pioneers like the list members here, who'll much more
 likely design and built their own processors. Small, local-niche,
 community-level, farm-scale production is the real answer, and
 that's the opposite of your scheme, despite this local angle you've
 tagged on to the end.

Re: [biofuel] Gustl

2004-01-09 Thread Frederick E Finch

Gustl, 

Please do not apologize for the post.  We (Americans) have lost too much of
our heritage by loosing our native languages.  My Father-in-law is a first
generation Italian.  

His parents did not want him to learn the Italian language either.  The way
he got around that was he would listen to his grandfather play poker in the
bar that the family had.  His Grandfather did not speak any English. 
Therefore his marching orders came to him in Italian unless there was
someone around who would try to translate.  The stories that my father
in-law has about the games, beer and hiding from spouses could take an
entire week to hear.  

It was there where he learned to not only speak Italian, he was able to
keep a part of his heritage that would have been lost forever.

My family name is English and I am decended from horse theives (Google
search : Fighting Finches.)  Nothing new about culture to learn there. 
However I also am decended from a pack of Europeans.  By the time that I
was old enough to understand what was lost, it was too late to get any
language or history from anyone who knew because they were all dead.

Iraq?  Tell me again how they started it?  Oh yeah, Weapons of Mass 
Destruction.  That is right, they bombed... err, gassed, that's right they 
gassed...  Yellow Cake!!  They wanted yellow cake and Duncan Heinz couldn't 
cut it so they went to Nigeria where the cake was yellow.  And now we need 
to liberate the country from the people who want yellow cake.

The reasons for going to war had nothing to do with WMD or associations 
with Al Queda (BTW, I have a neighbor named Al Kada who is not very happy 
about this name.)  It was about making a bigger presence in the middle east 
so US corporations could have access to more oil.

Painting the other side with a mighty broad brush, eh?  It is easy to 
kill  'em all when you can just as easily hate 'em all.  Just a small fact 
fer ya, almost all of them (90% of Arabs) do not want us dead, they just 
want us to leave.  Better to look at the reasons why they (10% of Arabs) 
want us dead and change the direction.

[biofuel] A good use for dino-fuels!

2003-10-10 Thread Frederick E. Finch

SIPHON ANYONE?

A lobbyist, on his way home from work in Washington, D.C., comes to a dead 
halt in traffic and thinks to himself, Wow, this seems worse than usual. 
He notices a police officer walking between the lines of stopped cars, so 
he rolls down his window and asks, Officer, what's the hold-up?

The officer replies, The President is depressed, so he stopped his 
motorcade and is threatening to douse himself in gasoline and set himself 
on fire. He says no one believes his stories about why we went to war in 
Iraq, or the connection between Saddam and al-Qa'ida, or that his tax cuts 
will help anyone except his wealthy friends; the press called him on the 
lie about Iraq trying to buy uranium from Niger, and now Campbell Brown is 
threatening to sue him for a sexual innuendo he made at a recent press 
conference. So we're taking up a collection for him.

The lobbyist asks, How much have you got so far?

The officer replies, About 14 gallons, but a lot of folks are still 
siphoning.

[biofuel] Got Three Minutes?

2003-07-30 Thread Frederick E. Finch

Try it. Every time you respond to a cheap-labor conservative in letters to 
the editor, or an online discussion forum, look for the cheap labor 
angle. Trust me, you'll find it. I can even show you the cheap labor 
angle in things like the war on drugs, and the absurd conservative 
opposition to alternative energy.


DEFEAT THE RIGHT IN THREE MINUTES
Have you got three minutes. Because that's all you need to learn how to 
defeat the Republican Right. Just read through this handy guide and you'll 
have everything you need to successfully debunk right-wing propaganda.
It's really that simple. First, you have to beat their ideology, which 
really isn't that difficult. At bottom, conservatives believe in a social 
hierarchy of haves and have nots that I call corporate feudalism. 
They have taken this corrosive social vision and dressed it up with a 
respectable sounding ideology. That ideology is pure hogwash, and you can 
prove it.
But you have to do more than defeat the ideology. You have to defeat the 
drum beat. You have to defeat the propaganda machine, that brainwashes 
people with their slogans and catch-phrases. You've heard those 
slogans.Less government, personal responsibility and lots of flag 
waving. They are shorthand for an entire worldview, and the right has 
been pounding their slogans out into the public domain for getting on forty 
years.
So you need a really good slogan ö a counter-slogan really, to 
deprogram the brainwashed. You need a magic bullet that quickly and 
efficiently destroys the effectiveness of their drum beat. You need your 
own drum beat that sums up the right's position. Only your drum beat 
exposes the ugly reality of right-wing philosophy ö the reality their 
slogans are meant to hide. Our slogan contains the governing concept that 
explains the entire right-wing agenda. That's why it works. You can see it 
in every policy, and virtually all of Republican rhetoric. And it's so easy 
to remember, and captures the essence of the Republican Right so well, we 
can pin it on them like a scarlet letter.
Is there really a catch phrase ö a magic bullet ö that sums up the 
Republican Right in such a nice easy-to-grasp package. You better believe 
it, and it's downright elegant in its simplicity.
You want to know what that magic bullet is, don't you. Read on. You've 
still got two minutes.
Right-Wing Ideology in a Nutshell
When you cut right through it, right-wing ideology is just dime-store 
economics ö intended to dress their ideology up and make it look 
respectable. You don't really need to know much about economics to 
understand it. They certainly don't. It all gets down to two simple words.
Cheap labor. That's their whole philosophy in a nutshell ö which gives 
you a short and pithy catch phrase that describes them perfectly. You've 
heard of big-government liberals. Well they're cheap-labor conservatives.
Cheap-labor conservative is a moniker they will never shake, and never 
live down. Because it's exactly what they are. You see, cheap-labor 
conservatives are defenders of corporate America ö whose fortunes depend on 
labor. The larger the labor supply, the cheaper it is. The more desperately 
you need a job, the cheaper you'll work, and the more power those 
corporate lords have over you. If you are a wealthy elite ö or a 
wannabe like most dittoheads ö your wealth, power and privilege is 
enhanced by a labor pool, forced to work cheap.
Don't believe me. Well, let's apply this principle, and see how many 
right-wing positions become instantly understandable.
á   Cheap-labor conservatives don't like social spending or our safety 
net. Why. Because when you're unemployed and desperate, corporations can 
pay you whatever they feel like ö which is inevitably next to nothing. You 
see, they want you over a barrel and in a position to work cheap or 
starve.
á   Cheap-labor conservatives don't like the minimum wage, or other 
improvements in wages and working conditions. Why. These reforms undo all 
of their efforts to keep you over a barrel.
á   Cheap-labor conservatives like free trade, NAFTA, GATT, etc. Why. 
Because there is a huge supply of desperately poor people in the third 
world, who are over a barrel, and will work cheap.
á   Cheap-labor conservatives oppose a woman's right to choose. Why. 
Unwanted children are an economic burden that put poor women over a 
barrel, forcing them to work cheap.
á   Cheap-labor conservatives don't like unions. Why. Because when 
labor sticks together, wages go up. That's why workers unionize. Seems 
workers don't like being over a barrel.
á   Cheap-labor conservatives constantly bray about morality, 
virtue, respect for authority, hard work and other values. Why. So 
they can blame your being over a barrel on your own immorality, lack of 
values and poor choices.
á   Cheap-labor conservatives encourage racism, misogyny, homophobia 
and other forms of bigotry. Why? Bigotry among wage earners distracts them,

Re: [biofuel] Re:Environmental process for Motor oil clean up

2003-05-19 Thread Frederick E. Finch

Tom,

There have been some studies using fungi particularly a strain of Oyster 
Mushroom that has been successful at breaking down oils.  Look here:

http://fungi.com/mycotech/mycova.html

I have been playing with some contaminated wood chips soaked in oil.  The 
results have been varied.

Something you can try:

Take the contaminated clay and mix it with fresh wood chips, straw even 
fallen leaves.  Add some mushroom spawn then cover with a landscape 
mat.  Water every day  and wait.

There should be activity almost from the first day.

my results have been mixed, mostly because I have not been paying attention 
to the process.

Let me know off-list if you need any spawn, I got plenty to share.

Thankyou Tom.

Re your question, trouble with clay is it has this huge internal
structure and stuff gets electrically bonded in there, never comes
out again. Well, I guess as long as never means never... That's
what's supposed to happen to Paraquat, for instance, but there have
been some doubts about it.

Anyway, I agree with Kim's advice about compost, in the end it'll
break down everything that breaks and help buffer residual nasties
too.

I'm not recommending it, but it might just be an idea to treat it
with biodiesel first. Biodiesel is used for oil-spill remediation and
seems to be very effective. You're supposed then to remove the
biodiesel as well, however. But it might be worth trying here: the
biodiesel itself is innocuous and breaks down fast, but my feeling,
after using it for a lot of different things (and we're organic
farmers), is that it might very well help the compost and soil life
to break down and generally deal with the motor oil faster and more
safely.

This might give you some ideas:

Are you looking for anything in particular?  I do some small scale 
bio-remediation using straw and sawdust/shavings to grow mushrooms, it then 
becomes compost for my garden.

The sawdust is something I like better because I can get as much as I want

find a source.

Re: [biofuel] living with less, an experiment in minimalism

2003-05-01 Thread Frederick E. Finch

I have been playing with woodchips contaminated with oil and gasoline.  The 
experiment that I have been working with came from a project that Paul 
Stamets has been doing.

See: http://fungi.com/mycotech/mycova.html

So far the strain of oyster mushroom that I have will eat just about 
anything.  It consumes paper products, coffee grounds and wood.  I came 
across a pile of contaminated wood chips from a neighbor who parked his 
boat on a pad of wood chips.  He would change his oil, purge his gas tanks 
and flush the coolant system on the chips.  After about 5 years of doing 
this he wanted to put in a concrete pad.  He did not have anyplace to dump 
the wood chips because of all the oil and crap.  He asked me if I had any 
ideas and I did.  So far the fungus has broken down about 1/5th of the 
pile.  We have been doing this in small stages. to see the results.

So far so good.

Coffee grounds in high concentrations are a pesticide but also a herbicide 
(I found this out the hard way.)  This means that in the compost pile they 
will keep out the pests and eventually kill the garden that you are trying 
to cultivate.  Oyster mushroom fungus will eat the coffee grounds and break 
it down.

Let me know if you have any other questions,

fred

   Don't forget, that when the cattails get over crowded, you can use the 
 roots
   to make alk.

 I'm looking at a constructed wetlands (pond) for grey water, and 
 harvest
   the
 cattails and water hyacinths for the compost bin. This will attract 
 a lot
   of
 wild life for our enjoyment.

  The result of the dissenter leaving ... would result in who's-left

  Which would result in this country's BECOMING take your

  Burma? Singapore? Syria? Saudi Arabia?  North Korea? dozens of other
  countries in Africa and the Middle East.
 
  America ... to use corporate terms ... is a Company ... who The
People

  Board of Directors.   The President ... um ...is the ...
President/CEO.
  The Board/President ... is hired by the investors.  Don't forget that.
  Always remember ... who works for who.   Who was hired by who.   And
who

  Dissenters are necessary.  They keep the Board/President nervous.  By

  I would disagree.   I believe the world is becoming LESS democratic.  
No
  matter what any report says.
 
  Oh sure, votes are being taken ... laws enacted by counting those
votes.
 But
  now PR agencies kick in ... paid for by powerful, invisible small
groups
  of people ... who basically sway the votes ...one way or the other.
The
  details  Keith explains it well (help me out here, Keith).
 
  So once again ... a small group of people (sway the votes and ) control
 the
  laws being written.  Laws that govern (spelled R.U.L.E.S.) all.  Once
 again
  ... UNDEMOCRATIC.
 
  So to me, the authoritarianism isn't really disappearing ... it's just
 going
  underground.
