| Rep. Cox Obtains Federal Support for Quantum's U.S. Army Hydrogen Infrastructure Program |
| 02.28.05 (12:29 pm) |
Ok loyal readers, here we have an example of military technology that it would be nice to see filter into the private sector. Rep. Cox (of Homeland Security) has gotten funding for this company to develop mobile hydrogen producing technologies for the Military's fuel cells. Such fuel cells would be great to power things like our HOMES, wouldn't they? Unfortunately the Bush Administration has already decided that our Hydrogen fuel will come from hydrocarbons. According to this story the military seems to be going to be able to produce theirs on site from water using renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy.

| Falling Fish Stocks |
| 02.28.05 (11:08 am) |
With the ever increasing demand of human consumption wreaking havoc on our planet it is worth noting that many fish populations are declining. That means fewer fish to harvest for the growing demand. Couple this with the effects of ongoing climate change and....well, don't make any long range plans I guess.
"The shrinking size of fish due to their overexploitation has dire consequences for the recovery of depleted stocks, scientists have claimed. Fishing drives natural selection for smaller fish that grow more slowly and have reduced reproductive potential. These changes are genetic and therefore hard to reverse, scuttling the renewal of dwindling fish populations."

| PAKISTAN: Rural areas to be electrified using solar energy |
| 02.28.05 (11:07 am) |
Remember when the United States first got electricity? The government came up with something called the "Rural Electrification" program to finance the construction of the power grid that we have today. In the early 1960's when I was a small child the electric grid was still a new thing to many people in rural Pennsylvania. There were still "party lines" on the telephone too. Remember those? When the little old lady down the street knew everyone's business because she listened to all the phone calls coming ointo or out of the neighborhood? I do.
So now Pakistan and countries like it are looking at bringing the benefits of electrical energy to their own rural areas. In this instance though the source of the energy is the sun and no distribution grid should be needed. The power should be able to be produced by local generation units using local labor. This would benefit the local economies of such areas enormously and allow the generation and use of electrical energy to evolve in new and potentially more enviromentally friendly ways that stress conservation right from the beginning rather than creating a society of irresponsible consumption for the sake of consumption such as we have in the US.

| Great Salt Lake Mercury Worries Scientists (AP) |
| 02.28.05 (11:03 am) |
The Great Salt Lake lies below sea level and because of this the water that flows into the lake does not flow out. It leaves through evaporation. This is how the lakes' levels of salt and other minerals became so concentrated. The water flowing into the lake carries these minerals with it but the evaporation process, which is very similar to distillation, leaves the minerals behind and over time these minerals become more and more concentrated. The more of a certain element that is in the water that flows into the lake the more will remain behind.
This story is a good illustration of how much Mercury is entering our enviornment from various sources. One major source has been and continues to be coal fired power plants both here in the United States and now in Asian countries such as China as well. We in the United States are now on the recieving end of the huge amounts of pollution being created by China's Industrial Revolution much in the same way that Europe was blessed with our pollution. This is of course due to the direction that the prevailing upper atmosphereic winds blow.
What is wrong with a little bit of mercury in your enviornment? Well is is absorbed into your body through the food you eat and the water you drink and is not eliminated. So over time it builds up in your system and affects certain crucial organs, most notably your brain. It can cause all sorts of fun symptoms like senility, insanity and in pregnant women can cause some pretty horrific birth defects. But I guess that is the price of our prosperity, being too damaged and mutated to enjoy it.

| Retreat of Antarctic Ice Shelves Not New (AP) |
| 02.28.05 (11:01 am) |
Right, during the course of the last 4 billion years the climate has changed many times in various ways. Entire continents have formed and re-formed and untold trillions of individual lifeforms have crawled slowly from a puddle of ooze somewhere only to eventually fall back into that same puddle to be born again in another form in another time....
What does this have to do with the current retreat of the Antarctic ice esheets? Not very much really. You see, all those other times didn't really mean anything to you and I on a day to day basis, did they? Course not. But this time it's personal. This time it seems very likely that our activities have caused the climate to change and this time it is us and our children who will get to personally experience the consequences of our actions.
Should be pretty interesting, don't you think?

| Panelists Decry Bush Science Policies (AP) |
| 02.28.05 (10:59 am) |
I saw the press release that the White House was putting out a year or so ago in regard to their new science policies. They want to eliminate peer review on new science. What does this matter, you ask? Well the process of peer review does have it's faults and sometimes does work against progress but it does work and has worked for a long time to filter junk science out of mainstream acceptance.
The goal of the Bush administration seems to be to eliminate the peer review process so that they can have their politial and social policies promoted as scientifically valid without any review or testing by anyone who does not have the preconcieved notion that such policies are valid. In other words it is like having an imaginary friend or diety which no one has ever seen or proved to be real and claiming that the proof that there is such a diety is that the priests of the religion that is devoted to that diety say that he/she exists. Hey it already works for millions, why not extend it to the world of science. "Faith Based Scientific Discovery" does have a certain ring to it, doesn't it? After all, the devil is in the (scientific facts) details, isn't he?

| Brazil Vows Slow Down of Amazon Destruction (Reuters) |
| 02.28.05 (10:56 am) |
I had thought that human sacrifice was more or less out of style these days. Every time I get suckered into beginning to believe in the inherent goodness of our species something like this happens. In Brazil a woman's life is sacrificed by the greed of capitalist expansion at any cost.
Of course the woman in question was only one individual, a nun, not even a person who is generating any goods or services and so is just one more "Useless Eater" and, by some philosophies, really should be eliminated for the good of the whole. But how many times must this same scene be played out around the world before anyone from the majority of the people has the guts to stand up against the monied few who rule our lives?
It is not a scene from only countries like Brazil my friends where atrocities are so often more or less "excused" as the acts of illiterate, uneducated people (on the payroll of multinational corporations). It happens here in the US too. DO a search on Tree Sitters and you will find loads of stories regarding the heroic efforts (misguided according to some opinions) of individual people in the Pacific Northwest to defend and preserve old growth forest. Read some of the accounts and then compare them with this story from Brazil. You will see thaere isn't a whole ot of difference.

| Rare Whales Will Not Stop Shell's Sakhalin Gas |
| 02.28.05 (10:51 am) |
I went on a whale watching tour off the coast of Massachusetts a few years ago. That part of the ocean is one of the richest feeding areas for whales. I got to see humpbacks, 5 or 6 of them were swimming right along the boat. They would surface, blow a jet of water to clear their nostrils and then turn on their sides to look up at the people along the railing at the side of the boat. Staring down into their eyes I felt like I was looking into a window into a totally alien world, the world that exists below the surface of the ocean that covers 70% of our planet.
Until you see these animals up close you really can't appreciate just how big they are or how gentle. Sometimes when they surfaced they would launch themselves about half of their owb length out of the water and then fall sideways and make huge splashes. But for all their size and power they never landed on any of the boats that were there watching them. And yet my tour guide said that in the previous year several blue whales had washed ashore, dead. The cause of death was determined to be starvation.
Does this mean that their isn't enough food left in the ocean to support all of the whales that are there? We have always seen the ocean as a limitless source of food and resources (as we saw so many other places down through the years) and we are now faced with the reality that even this other world is not immune to our slow draining of it's life and it's resources. But human greed always seems to triumph in te end over the reality of the limitations of a resource. This story on Shell's disregard for the fate of certain whales is just business as usual for our species.

| Can anyone say: Kiss your A** goodbye? |
| 02.28.05 (10:42 am) |
Currently there are roughly 6 billion people sharing the resources of this planet. We are seeing the drastic depletion of the resources that we depend on from water to food to the enviornment (climate). It seems as though we have reached the carrying capacity of the planet for human beings. At least for human beings who live in the way we do.
This story says that in the next 45 years (by 2050) the population of the world will have increased to 9.1 billion people. That is 33 percent more people than there are now all competing for and living off of the resources of this planet which are barely taking care of the number of peole which is here now.
On a brighter note the lifespan of many people in some undeveloped/underdevelope d countries has fallen sharply (from 62 yrs to 48 yrs) and so there will be more young workers to exploit with no retirement to worry about. At the same time the population growth rate in the more developed nations has slowed and is even declining in some countries. This will mean fewer rich people to live comfortably off of the work of the labor of more virtual slaves. So the status quo is maintained once more and the ruling class is preserved.

| Environmental Change May Be Boosting Diseases |
| 02.28.05 (10:41 am) |
Ok, how many of you ever thought about this one? Sure you have heard various right wing pundits talk about the "benefits" of climate change (longer growing seasons, lower heating bills, etc) but who talks about the price of it? How many even stopped to think about the potential cost?
With any dramatic change in a particular enviornment new old species often move out because the enviroment is no longer tenable for them and new species move in. This can even happen in the very small world of viruses and bacteria. In the United States we are beginning to see this with the establishment of West Nile Virus. This could just be the beginning too. In many cases a disease which is particular to a location will be more or less dealt with by the population of that area but if that same disease is able to move into a new area where the population has no experience with it the consequences can be devestating.
What is it going to take folks? Will you want responsible environment policy when the climate is irreversibly changed? HOw about when entire ecosystems die off or become extinct? Maybe when the economy of your area collapses? HOw about when a disease no one has seen before comes calling and takes your spouse, your parents, your friends, your children? Will that be enough? Will you finally be pissed off enough then to challenge stupid policy, or will it really be too late then?

| The Air Car |
| 02.28.05 (10:34 am) |
This concept has been around for a while in various forms but it is kind of interesting. Imagine your family car running on nothing but compressed air.. Kind of cool at first glance, especially with the claimed 300km cruising range between fillups.
But where do you get the compressed air? The compressor has to run on some sort of energy such as electricity from coal or nuclear powered plants or on an engine fueled by gasoline. Might there be some overall savings as far as how much gasoline would need to be used to compress nough air to power a vehicle for a certain distance vs how much would be required to directly fuel a vehicle for the same distance? Perhaps, but I haven't seen such a study yet.
It seems like a concept which may have some limited applications in high pollution areas but not as something which is going to sweep the world.

The Future Is Now
To say that the hold that human civilization has on this planet is a fragile and tenuous one seems untrue in these days of talk of life extention to one thousand years or more and unlimited capitalist expansion and growth through globalization. Yet in this past year, with the Tsunami, we have seen just how fast that natural conditions on the Earth can align themselves together to bring about a scale of human destruction so profound as to be nearly indescribable and yet at the same time spare the lives of most of the animals and plants of the area. At the same time we have read stories about Climate Change and how grass is growing in Antarctica, Russian bears who can't sleep, fish and animal species that are moving into areas where they never lived before to take advantage of new temperatures and seen the damage caused by the melting of the Permafrost in the Arctic. With the recent passing of the Kyoto Treaty there is now a glut of climate change stories in the news and this issue will be filled with many of those links. Stories with such attention grabbing titles as ;"A Glimpse of Hell", "Global Warming is Real"and "Food Scarcity Predicted" are just the tip of the iceberg. With those stories in mind, after stocking up on shotgun shells and bottled water, I remembered the words to a song by Bob Seger and I think you will agree that the lyrics to that song are sort of prescient in regard to this issue.
In Your Time
By Bob Seger
In your time the innocence will fall away
In your time the mission bells will toll
All along the corridors and riverbeds
They'll be signs.....In your time
Towering waves will crash across your southern capes
massive storms will reach your eastern shores
Fields of green will tumble through your summer days,
by design, In your time
Feel the wind and set yourself the bolder course
Keep your heart as open as a shrine
You'll sail the perfect line
and after all the dead ends and the lessons learned
after all the stars have turned to stone
There'll be peace,..... across the great unbroken void
all benign.......in your time
You'll be fine,.... in your time.

Pseudo-Science claims about Hydrogen
By Eric the skeptic
For every real area of science is a whole underworld of falsehood.
Particularly with cutting edge science and particularly on the internet, one
can find a wealth of exciting – yet WRONG claims. Such misinformation is
spawned by a triumvirate of self-taught idiots, wide-eyed lunatics and by
con men.
For any advocate of a hydrogen future comes the unfortunate public
service responsibility of debunking myths about hydrogen. One of the most
pernicious hydrogen urban legends is that of "Browns Gas". Don't snicker. It
is only a stoichemetrc ratio of hydrogen and oxygen – it was known of long
before a nut named Yull Brown claimed to invent it. I provide a web page on
information and misinformation on the subject at
HYPERLINK "http://www.phact.org/e/bgas.htm"www.phact.org/e/bgas.htm
For sake of space a quick summary of false claims about it include:
* It can heal sickness.
* It can render radioactive materials safe.
* You can get more energy out of burning it than it takes to separate it.
* It implodes rather than explodes and is perfectly safe.
* You can safely pressurize it.

Water Based Transistors
By Mike Johnston
Copyright 2005
A few issues back I looked at how you could create water based electronic components. In that story I mentioned that I hadn't been able to figure out how to build a water based tansistor. Now I have. Not exactly what I thought one would look like and perhaps not exactly what it is but I think calling it a transistor is a reasonably good description of it's form and function (click here for a description of how transistors work: http://www.amasci.com/amateur... ) In essence a transistor allows a small electrical current to control a large current. In the case of the concept that I am going to lay out for you here you could think of it as a small electrical current controlling a large electrochemical current. Remember that the larger the current in an electrolysis cell the more H2 that is produced.
In this water based transistor one of the main components will be an electrical plasma. So first off let's get a simple definition of a plasma; "A plasma is a gas in which an important fraction of the atoms is ionized, so that the electrons and ions are separately free." This ionization occurs when enough energy is present in the form of heat or electrical energy. You could say then that, in this respect, a container of water with electrolyte in it resembles a low energy, liquid state plasma since the atoms of electrolyte in the water are separated into ions.Interestingly enough the behavior of semiconducors is explained as Solid State Plasma. Some examples of plasmas are; the Solar Wind, the Earth's own Plasmasphere, Fluorescent Lights and welding arcs. For information on various types of plasmas go to: http://www.plasmas.org/basics...
Plasma illustration: http://www.geocities.com/mj_1...
For the sake of simplicity here I am going to condense things as much as I can. If you would like more in depth information on some of the things that I am going to mention I would suggest that you download the MIT course on Plasma (it is free to download) from: ( http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html... ). MIT is doing some interesting work with plasmas in relation to hot fusion reactors. When a plasma is created between two metallic conductors via an electrical arc structres can form within the arc which are called plasma tubes. These tubes are created due to the way that the electrons and ions in the plasma interact with and are moved by the electromagnetic fields within the plasma. In the following illustrations you can see how charged particles move in a plasma and how they form "tubes".
Figure 1: In this illustration you see particles forming their looping, vortex paths. http://www.geocities.com/mj_1...
Figure 2: In this drawing you see the looping orbit of charged particles forming a tube around a magnetic field. http://www.geocities.com/mj_1...
Figure 3: In this drawing you are introduced to Charge Separation within the plasma tubes. http://www.geocities.com/mj_1...
Charge Separation is very interesting for the purpose of this paper. What happens is that the oppositely charged particles within a plasma tend to move to opposite sides of the plasma tube creating a positively charged side and a negatively charged side. Remember that this is true even though the overall plasma itself is still electrically neutral because there are an equal number of positively and negatively charged particles involved. In the next illustration you see two metal electrodes with an electrical arc between them. Note that the charged particles in this plasma arc are separated to opposite sides of the plasma.
Figure 4 http://www.geocities.com/mj_1...
If we were to create this electrical under water, or under water that contains an electrolyte an interesting potential seems to present itself.
Figure 5 http://www.geocities.com/mj_1...
The positive and negative ions in the water should be expected to be attracted to the side of the plasma tube which is charged oppositely to thier own charge.
Figure 6 http://www.geocities.com/mj_1...
In this last illustration we see that, once the oppositely charged ions are attracted to the sides of the plasma tube the potential exists for a transfer of electrons to take place across the plasma itself. The result would be that H2 gas would be formed on one side of the plasma and O2 gas on the other side. Why is this important?
The result should be that, if we limit the current in the metal portion of the circuit,through the electrodes, that a plasma will still be formed with less energy consumed and that a second electrochemical current will be able to flow across the plasma. This second current could potentially be much larger than the electrical current which is being used to form the plasma. It would also allow more H2 to be produced overall than would be predicted based on the current through the electrodes and this has been noted by researchers who are trying to produce H2 with a plasma arc. I believe this "plasma transistor"model explains the source of that "excess" H2 within the realm of accepted science.
