Award-winning scientist, environmentalist and broadcaster David Suzuki speaks of climate change as a slow motion catastrophe. He states that the media has to take responsibility for the fact that there is a notion that the issue of climate change is still controversial, even though the vast majority of climatologists in the world say something must be done.

California is now broke.

Wow! Angry David Suzuki! Awesome!

Now that GM is bankrupt and is partly owned by the US gov't, I hope Obama's administration can MAKE the auto makers adhere to changes that could save our environment.

Then again, the Chinese are our biggest "investors" here in the US---they'll be the biggest road block to solving this problem. *Sigh*

In a 2000 gallon tank you could have stored enough ice to cool several homes for the hot part of the year in Canada. That is 8 tons of ice or cold water that can be used to keep houses cool; and can be replenished every time it is below freezing or colder with heat exchange. In warmer climates water could be cooled or warmed with wind or solar. That is all about storing heat or cold to be used as needed to keep inside environment warm or cool.

The north american culture is based on wasting a great deal of energy. The bigger the organization, the bigger the waste. Probably when George Bush flies across the country or the world he will spend millions of dollars. He will spend more flyng across the country than you will make in your entire lifetime. In stead of turning everything into money to be bought and sold with government taking a big cut, you have to harvest energy from the environment. Very direct no money changing hands.

[hypnofan35]

Let's say you had a internal combustion electric generator that ran on propane or ethanol, all the waste heat could be captured and stored in a heat reservoir and later used for heating warm air for your home. Instead of being allowed to escape it could be stored in a tank of water until it finally escapes through the cracks in your home after heating your home. On a cold windy day you could store all the ice you would need to cool your home. Think local heat and cold reservoirs using water.

[hypnofan35]

At any rate, if you were to store heat and cold in water, you would rarely if ever have to waste a calorie of energy as long as there was some sun or some wind. There could be different kinds of energy storage banks in ones house or proximity. Battery, or fuel cell. The French are working with pneumatics, and there is heat or cold storage in insulated water tanks for heating and refrigeration. The beauty of heat energy is that it is the most easily usable form of energ for heating your house.

[hypnofan35]

It seems like we can never expect those in power to "deball" them selves. We need to control our own energy as much as we can instead of allowing it to be centralized and controlled by the "biggy piggies" We need solar, we need wind, we need effective energy storage. Let's use energy reservoirs. Sub surface insulated water tanks that can store heat or cold, for indoor temperature control. In cold climate they could use more wind. In sunny climate they could use more solar.

Bush has a 23% approval rating here and a 2% approval rating in Canada and the rest of the world. Anyone who thinks that dosn't matter is truly a Retardlican.
