I used to catch them with my mom's dad in Oregon, until the population crashed and they shut the sport fishery down. So we have been speculating about why that happened in my family for 30 years or so. If this is true, it is fantastic news for fishermen. Now if only we can figure out what random

Re: [MBZ] Three Flavors of Hydrogen?

To me, hydrogen only makes sense as energy storage, not as a source. Think of it as a battery. You use intermittent power such as solar or wind to make hydrogen gas that can be stored, transported, and used when and where needed. The problem is (as I understand it) that so far, splitting water

Re: [MBZ] Cars kill fish

Yes it's such a problem that it has been known and studied for years and the salmon keep coming back. More seriously, it's apparently finally been found that a specific chemical used as an antioxidant in the rubber is toxic to the salmon. So, perhaps a substitute can be found that isn't so toxic.

How is poisonous tire residue liberal? Non-sequitur. They just need to either find a different chemical to delay the inevitable hardening of the rubber or let the tires dry rot sooner - that is if you want to have salmon to eat (as I do). Or, you could cover all the roads to keep the rain off
