French and Nuuuc ular

Understood everything in spite of the typos. A lot of good information about spent nuclear material that I didn’t know. The “Greens” (who are “Red” inside) have this country wrapped around their fingers. How in the world did this happen? I didn’t know that the Greens up there in the Pacific Northwest blocked additional turbines/generators on the hydro dams. Damn stupid, fanatical people!

Yes, it truly is a religion. The religion of Gaia the Destroyer.

What really irks me is that Obama and his associates don’t seem to realize that energy production can be broken down into categories.
1. Generating electricity – Coal, natural gas, hydro electric, nuclear, solar, wind and geothermal can all be used to produce electricity. However, solar, wind, and geothermal have major drawbacks that are difficult to solve. Hydro is not tapped out. Many of our dams here in the Pacific Northwest have capacity for more generators, but have been blocked b from installing them by – the Greens. Other areas of the country with secure water supplies and decent grades could install small hydro- electric plants to service small cities of 25,000 or less.
2. Providing fuel for transportation – Oil to produce gasoline and diesel is king here. Ethanol from sugar cane, switch grass, or biomass have some possibility as alternatives to gasoline and diesel. Biodiesel is another possibility. Hybrid cars using a combo of gasoline, diesel, ethanol, or biodiesel and electricity run off a big rechargeable battery are in production, though expensive. And battery disposal is a future problem for hybrids. Further down the line are the all electric cars with ranges in excess of the present 40 miles without a charge, and eventually, a hydrogen powered vehicle. However, airplanes and ships are going to be using fossil fuels for a long time
3. Fuel to heat buildings and water for domestic use. – Natural gas, propane, electric powered heat pumps, wood, and geothermal heat pumps are all in use today. In sunny climates passive solar design and solar panels can provide up to 60% of residential needs, but backups are necessary. Small windmills can provide some elctricity in certain windy areas of the country, but still a backup is necessary. The future probably lies with geothermal heat pumps for heating. There is some work being done on mini-nuclear units that provide both heat and electricity to residences, but they are for the future.

For those who believe that wind power is a solution, take a look at Denmark. Several years ago they made a commitment to wind power. And why not? After all Denmark has a lot of wind. But they found out that after they built out their wind mills at large scales, they still needed a parallel, conventionally fired system of generators on standby to pick up the load when the wind ceased to blow. That is why they pay 5 times as much as we do for electricity.

Unfortunately, all of us who frequent this blog know these things, but the Greens and Obama are living in a parallel universe where they believe technology unleashed will suddenly find a way to make wind and solar do everything. It is faith, not science that drives their beliefs. Den Beste has their number and so do we.

The question is how do we change things? Send out information to your e-mail circle, write letters to your newspaper, write and call your Congress critters and Obama hinself. We have to raise a chorus of reason that is heard by enough people to turn things around in 2010.

The answer to America’s energy needs are nuclear. The problem of waste was solved long ago. Please see http://www.anl.gov/Science_and_Technology/History/Anniversary_Frontiers/alchemy.html

Pay particular attention to the last paragraph: Note who was President in 1994 when Argonne Natl Labs’ focus was changed and the last sentance: “By then, Argonne’s original mission — to provide safe nuclear energy for civilian purposes — had been achieved.”

Folks, you’ve been had. The issues regarding nuclear waste is a 1970′s argument that is still being circulated today. Your energy bill is a political football, not a technical issue.

I’m an electrical engineer whose done work in many countries outside the US. I’m constantly asked why the US isn’t building more Integral Fast Reactors. My answer, “An amazingly ignorant populace coupled with a corrupt political class.”

The kicker is. you and I have paid to develop these technologies only to export them around the world while we’re stuck debating wind and solar. No wonder the ROW thinks we’re stupid.

Post away, my friend. I’ll read ‘em. You’ve provided links to places I can go to back up what you say. Most don’t do that (me included).

and rather than say that, explain that, you did what? you have your reasons for not believing it, i have mine for believing it. rather than try to debate those reasons, you try to shut me down so you win by default, not merit. and i dont fold on anything else but merit. you turn the key on merit, i will flip so fast you will think i didnt care… and i dont… i only care about the valid anser… because the more of those i have the more competetn i am and the more chance i have of succeeding outside the protection of the white tower. and the more chance i can make a big positive change for the world.

in other words, i have spent my whole life learning and studying so that i can make things that maket he world better. i can use that same devuiousness in the opposite directoin too.. (and people who do what certain peopel do, make it real hard not to go galt and say.. heck with it. you want to buy 60,000 computers so your heliocose machine can do the genetics instead of two of mine, go ahead).

botteom line is that if you side with the side that is tearing things down, then your on their side, regardless of what your personal definitions of things are, beacuse your personal definitions are as meaningless as the philospophy a horse thinks while plowing a field for the master. your in essence plowing their field while thinking other things.

imagine if you were my parents, sister or cousins. each one took turns with me to keep my mind fed. its a demonic punishment.. like being ravenously hungry and never being able to feel full. and the more you do it, the harder it is to find things that are interesting and that you dont know.

so i am very sorry… i want to so bad write like cicero and be shorter. but i just dont know how to boil down things to the shortest AND meet the average level of people. i have no idea of that level, other than to guess… (most of the time i am actually quiet, as a person seems to prefer walking into a moving train on their own than being stopped by someone else).

if i wasnt kept out of school for being the wrong diversity race and my iq in favor of others, i would have learned how to compose better as i would earn my degree…

you can see the results. i am in a research place, but i am not a researcher. i work as a nothing, but i offer my brain to the professors here, who are amazed and are trying to bat for me. two of my items from a portfolio as big as lemelsons are being worked on. one is a solution to the problem of working with VAST amounts of data beyond peta bytes and bigger. another is new cheap calibration… while my current hard project is with phages, and sequencing programs i play with. (at the same time i am also a fashion/celebrity photographer signed to one of the 4 top agencies (the oldest)

i quit music after performing at lincoln center and carnegie hall before i was 14… and lots of other things…

so all this comes from a deep entusiasm for life. and a deep love of my fellow man… and its deeper because i am not seeing man as i wish he were, but in the beauty that he is.

lee… want to know the truth?

its not that i want to be adulated, followed or any of that…. that would be easy if i wanted to cheat.

its that when your like this lee (and others), there is no one to talk to.

i tested out in the 999th percentile…

who can i talk to? they disconnected me from the place where all those people are. and if you see how mitsu acts, and lee, you can see that since i was cut out, i am not allowed to participate with them as they dont think that anyone can come from no degree.

which is why i decided to single handedly boost the research hospital were i work single handedly like lemelson did for MIT. thats my goal. i have three big projects in, and if i get a license and such through it i finally have the proof to idiots they require).

this place was one of the first and only places where a researcher refused to throw me away without first understanding my work.

and once he took a few months to understand it and how its off base (like those insights you mention i have sometimes). which made it so elegant he didnt get it.

after 30 years i have smoe people to talk to about all my work. i feel like riemans. bed ridden using my own math notation, re-inventing famous things to get my own work to work.

lee… i dont want adulation, i want connection.

i love people…

and living like this all your life is very painful…
and the only ones to blame are the social and psych researchers who proeseltyize how they know how to improve things..

when their actions amount to experimenting on people witout having to get their permission as in a lab!!!!

my child hood was made a mess by these people. cameras in class… cameras in the hall.. always under the microscope.. they wanted to know how to make lots of me, or induce what i have in minorities. they even put me with the criminally insane for a couple of years to see if i would make them smarter (one nearly collapsed lung later, 7 broken noses, and violent altercations in inner city schoos in the tremont area of the bronx, they finally let me be with my friends)

so i am sorry i am so long.

i am trying to learn.

but everyone expects one to eitehr not be capable, or if you are able, then you should be capable at everything.

i can do smoe really amazing things… a life time of blowing people away that way… but there are some simple things i cant do. like tell emotions on a face in a way that i can tell i am making them angry, or they hate me, or so forth… i can recall everything i have ever read or seen… but i cant remember someones name…

my history knowlege and politics is one of my lesser areas. so i came out here to talk that, since it puts me closer to the average than if i dicussed things i am interested in (no one is interested in what i am, they all want me to produce something interestig for them or no go).

right now i was working over lunch to showing how hawking radiation concepts applied to the universe can potentially explain dark matter effects without calling in odd dimensions or violating the old work. its a realization thing as to cosmic structure, like hawking realized something there.

the other thing i have worked on was space time cavitation, and recently some work confirmed my hypothesis, but the math got away from me.

after all, i only have a high school education.
no degrees… i came from a poor illiterate immigrant refugee family, but was told i had all the advantages and everything was easy for me.

and beaten up by everyone like lee who believes that too and that i get somethign i never got… so should be punished for having something i dont have.
