The cost of living is spiralling out of control, gas prices are making the oil companies richer than the government and everyone is talking about the environment and global warming as if it is something brand new. The worst part is that when we need to pull together and get this mess fixed the con artist show up with everything from running your car on water, ( hydrogen generation on demand ) to putting pills in the gas tank to increase your mileage. Oh and let's not forget the major oil companies suddenly have a new battery for hybrid cars that will save millions of gallons of gas.
Forgive me for being the one person in the world with a memory but wasn't it the oil companies that caused this problem in the first place? Kind of like calling a terrorist to protect your country from terrorists isn't it? Or more likely let's employ all the thieves and drug dealers as our police force.
That may be putting things a little strong but if anyone believes for one second that our energy policy is on the right track or for that fact that anyone is looking out for the working people anymore then I have some prime development property on Saturn that I would like to offer you.......
The con artist are telling you that the environmentalist don't like hydrogen as a fuel source because of the single oxygen molecule released through the separation of water. No they don't like hydrogen because the major hydrogen production does not use water people, it uses natural gas or oil. That makes it no solution at all. And so far as I know no one has been able to produce hydrogen from water without using more energy than is gained.
It's called unity gain and it is like operating a business or your personal finances in the red. The only thing that runs in the red as a norm is the government and that is just because they have everyone else to pay their bills so they could care less.
Don't get me wrong hydrogen from water is a fantastic fuel idea because when it reacts either in a fuel cell or an engine the major output is water and the cycle can continue. In an engine however CO2 is also produced and I hate to tell you this but that is a major greenhouse gas.....
Seems to me that the only way to produce hydrogen from water without using oil or natural gas would be to use the sun.... Oh yeah you can't control the price so let's not go there............ Let me jump ahead here a little.
Solar cells have been around a long time but the industry has not been even looked at as anything more than a novelty or a way for rich people to claim that they are going green. A long time ago it was proposed to build a factory to produce solar panels using solar power as the source of production. The initial costs would be high but since the major costs of a solar cell is in the energy it takes to run the electric furnace to melt the silica sand they figured that the cost would drop drastically over a very short period. To my knowledge this factory was never built. Solar cell technology has remained in the realm of NASA and hand held calculators.
It does not take a rocket scientist to see the reasons for this little oversight. No money in giving up the dependence that has been created for oil. It would be like a drug dealer sending his junkies to a rehab for treatment or the cigarette companies giving away anti smoking methods, it just will not happen...
Even I can see were this would lead, first thing would be that homes would convert to solar power as the price dropped, then businesses would begin to use it for their electric demands and finally some one would decide that the technology could be used realistically with transportation.
This is a very scary thought for all the oil company executives and the boards of directors of all the power plants all around the world. So needless to say that even though it would be the best thing that could ever happen for our environment, economy or children that has come along since man or woman first invented a tool, don't hold your breath waiting for it to be done. If the government didn't stop it the power companies or oil companies in control would.
This article will just end up like many others from people who are looking at the world and wondering why something that could be so good and peaceful has to be torn apart by control freaks. You know that we were given free will by God no matter what name you call him by. But there was a condition to that free will and that was that when we screw up he is going to come like a parent and stop the game.... End the world for anyone who didn't get the meaning. Now I do not know if destiny is written in stone or if it is fluid, but I do know that if I was God and I was watching my creation destroyed by a bunch of selfish greedy little bugs I would start stomping or getting the bug spray out and do some exterminating now!
Just on the chance that destiny is in our hands as to how things turn out, even if you are a devout atheist, it makes more sense to start protecting where we live and each others lives than it does to continue the destruction of our world and peoples lives. I say this because as it stands now, if we continue as we are going this world will no longer support life or we will have wiped life out in a war. So you see whether you believe in God or not it does not make any difference in the outcome, if we do not change our way of thinking. The world will be destroyed either by god or by us it still will be destroyed.
