T-Bone did succeed in getting some discussion going on transportation fuels
and a mention of wind energy. Using an alternate to diesel for heavy
trucking is too much a stretch. Back in another life, the trucking industry
replaced gasoline engines with diesel engines.. Cummins Diesel engines being
the winner. It would take a special designed engine to run on LPG and some
years to work out the bugs. Maybe the new Angel engines could adapt their
design. Meanwhile the best engine direction to proceed is hybrid electro
technology for the long haul.
Industrial manufacturers in the US can build anything that sells but
uncertainty prevents a crusade .
While on the subject of uncertainty. The solution to mass energy needs is
staring Washington in the face while the National Science Foundation is side
tracked with porn on their computer. A home based combo soar cell array-
small vertical wind turbine set-up that also provides peak storage hydrogen
can be integrated into a heat-a/c package with water and waste water
recycling features.
Sat on a state long range water planning board ten years back and mentioned
that we would see the day come when a home wouldn't have a sewer line
exiting the property and only use a small amount of piped in water. A
central a/c heat pump would be combined to recycle water and most of the
electri power would come from solar and wind.. Some one asked when I thought
this would happen.. I replied.. when we run out of water, when electric
power shortages begin and when the rivers and lakes become toxic with
bacteria, viruses and drugs to the point the water can no longer be
dis-infected with existing methods.
How long off one may ask??? When it's in the best interest of the
survivors to survive. Most people do not want to survive which is why all
the plans of BO are a waste.
. Just as the account of the Lemings that rush to the sea to drown when
overpopulation happens..this strange occurance, which can be described as a
"death wish". This phenemona happens in humans.. they just use a different
avenue than drowning in the ocean. It has started..and it manifests itself
in many ways.. it is most obvious in public schools and prisons.
