Hello,
I am in Utah Valley, near Provo. Utah lake is a shallow body occupying a

91% of the fish (by mass) are carp. It would be a far better place
without them.

I'm not a biologist. I confess I don't understand the fine points of the
problems related to the Gulf dead zone. The basic facts are pretty clear.
There appear to be several places in the world where nutrients flowing into

I have been away for awhile. It's nice to be back-- this list is so civil,
and full of good thought.
David said that money saved is money earned. And I say, you don't pay any

Now, how much can be saved through conservation-- Actually, a great deal.

Hello, Flint,
I am just brainstorming--
1. Use radiation--
a. Very weak gamma source on one side of the tree and a Geiger counter
on the other side
b. Measure sound attenuation from one side of the tree to the other
(some distance away from it).
c. Put an ultrasound probe on
This is a very serious list and I like that.
But, maybe it's time for a little humor on this subject.

The second set of slides is a little more whimsical. They show a set of toys
that produce their own hydrogen by electrolysis and combust it in fuel cells.

That indeed may be the future. Hydrogen can be produced anywhere,
Electric cars and plug-in hybrids are only marginally better than ordinary
hybrids in terms of energy consumption and CO2 emissions. They only appear to
be better because most of the energy waste and CO2 happens outside the box,
back at the power plant.

Hi, David,
This is very good, the way you want to find out for sure. And, your dismay
is understandable-- almost everybody has this false impression that electric
cars save a lot of energy and CO2. The general concept is very simple,

Hello, folks,
I received several good answers to my question on aesthetics and flowers--
thanks.
One particular response from Chad Tillberg at the U. of IL was sent to me
