OBMWC, somewhere I still have the lyrics to the 1991 Octoberfest banquet opening recital of "Paradox, in a Bavarian Box", as written by demand of a shocked radical cool kinda groovy admirer who until she saw me getting into a glowing green metallic 530, was kinda digging me one night after a gig, to justify driving a BMW in light of my poetry, or visa versa. pps.

Producing 10 TW of nuclear power would require construction of a new one-gigawatt-electric (1-GWe) nuclear fission plant somewhere in the world every other day for the next 50 years. Once that level of deployment was reached, the terrestrial uranium resource base would be exhausted in 10 years. The required fuel would then have to be mined from seawater (requiring the equivalent of 10 Niagara Falls), or else breeder reactor technology would have to be developed and disseminated to countries wishing to meet their additional energy demand in this way." So it's the best for now, but it is also unsustainable. And 10 TW is only 1/2 of the projected increase in usage given current population growth numbers and the industrialization of Asia. -tammer --- Gary Derian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Might be.

If so, it will definitely not work. I don't think the DSP option came along until the mid-year update (99) E38s, or potentially early E39s, but definitely not E34. I don't think it'll work for non-DSP either, something about iBus in +95 later cars, maybe. In any event, you should be able to see the changer on eBay for reasonable, and pick up a used iBus changer for a little more.

I think we can count on people's desire to have a higher standard of life while costing them less real dollars to bring us new energy sources as they are available. > Every portion of the environment plays a part, from the effect of a > single tree to an entire rain forest.

I don't have a concise argument to support my position (which puts me in good company given the subject we're discussing), but I'd wager that a healthy chunk of aggregate badness has been done to humanity as a result of persons of power that felt the need to DO SOMETHING when nobody knew wtf to do to begin with. But hey, as long as you DO SOMETHING it's progress, right? > Maybe someday, we can harness the sub-atomic energies we have only > recently learned about through quantum physics research. The power > could be infinite. This all is of course, generations away, This of course, is a mathematical impossibility. Incidentally, what sub atomic energies do you speak of? Which subatomic energies have only been recently learned of? > but only if > we get our asses in gear now. Pure research matters. So I should be sure and not have any more grilled food so as to not slow down the pace of particle physics research? I might need more clarification here. > Also remember, each of us can do something now and not effect our > personal habits... insulate your house well, use compact florescent > bulbs, UNPLUG your instant-on tv/vcr/dvd/computer, get a smaller > fridge, try solar cooking, turn off unused lights, walk when you can, > consume less/make less garbage, change your ambient home > temperature a > degree or two, wear a sweater, sleep with dogs, reuse bath water to > water the garden, unhook your roof gutters from the storm > sewer system, > plant a tree or two or three, use gravel instead of concrete or > asphalt, don't USE things... use them up, grown your own veggies, use > the energy stored in your muscles instead of a machine! Now here are a few good ideas. Some of them are ones that I practice. Thankfully, not because of compulsion by my neighbors or my "elected" leaders. Most of these make my bills lower or my life better compared to the marginal inconvenience they add to my life. > If you love your children, this is the best and most important thing > you can give them. THEY are the ones who will suffer in 50 years, you > and I will be dead. Excellent! I was hoping you'd work in a THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! Clause. I can't decide if I think _that_ phrase has done even more harm to society than the irrational cry of DO SOMETHING! > PS: Oh yeah, the important part... DEMAND politicians who > will vote to > save the planet, not ones who vote to enrich bank accounts. Do any of us actually think that we're in a position to demand politicians? Do any of us think that if a vote were taken on "saving the planet" (that was truly cut and dry and not lobbyist conjecture) that someone would vote _against_ it? I haven't spent much time on capitol hill but I don't think issues like "should we or should we not beat this kitten with a bat" are seriously debated. Most politicians seem to agree that kittens should not be beaten with bats. Most politicians also agree that the Earth should not be destroyed. > When we are > dying from a poisoned planet, what good will money be? Now I am just being spiteful, but I can think of one use: All that money and technology will let me fly to a different planet where there are fewer people that think they know what's best for me. ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(13 messages) **********
