I get that you were playing areound a bit. Regardless, my response was aimed at (my perception of) the fact that you appear to give Barry and his words more importance than is there -- as if reacting to a hissing snake when indeed all that is there is a very limp rope. In the grand scheme of things, his opinion, nor anyone elses, is not that important. Not worth reacting to IMO. > I've already suggested putting both of us on > moderation (as opposed to suspension) for the > time being. Yes, thats a better plan. Particularly the voluntary part. I suggest that the next time Barry baits you, simply write Rick, ask that you both be moderated for several days, and indicate you will do your utmost to stay above the fray. > > Suspension with no warning, however, I don't > think is appropriate. Yes, however, moderation without immediate warning would seem ok though if that is an established policy. I suggest thae policy be -- if someone baits someone else via personal attacks, observations on traits, characteristics, shortcomings, etc, they should imediately go on several days moderation. And in that environment, raise the posting limit to 10 for non offenders.

Coal to syngas technologies essentially convert coal to hydrogent that is then used as a emissionless fuel for power plants or fuel cells, all other emissions are captured prior to that. As an added bonus, using captured CO2 for bio farms, particualrly things like algae (5000 gal of fuel/acre vs 18 for corn) has huge potential. And the syngas plants can take bio algae as well as coal as feedstock. Both energy sources feeding plug-in hybrid vehicles, getting rid of dirty internal conbustion, would cut CO2 emmissions by over 80%. I did not think such was possible until recently. RE nucclear, until the waste (nuclear) storage and proliferation issues are fully addressed, and i don't see any good solutions on the horizon, I can't get too serious about nuclear.
