thank you J, I'm sure we're not the only ones that have noticed, I'm getting a bit tired of his wilfull stupidity now so I'm going to start ignoring him, debate is one thing, being argumentative for the sake of it is quite another.
well most of us are too far away from each other to date but I have met many wonderfull peeps here who I love to pass my spare time with. I live in hope, I'm sure that things will happen for everybody when they are meant to and if not then I have a great life and am happy most of the time. Thanks for asking, I hope to see more of you.
That's very interesting JA, although I'm not 100% sure about the microwave thing, in fact we don't really have any real data on the effects of mobile phones although most peeps seem to have them and a lot of peeps report headaches when they use them but it is defo progress
years ago there was an invention called the thermo ovonic generator and basically it worked on the principle of twisting two disimilar wires together to get a voltage accross the other ends, this is then increased by heating the twisted ends. This fact was exploited further by using semi conductors to make a solid state piece that could be placed over any heat source to produce leccy, I'm wondering if there is, or if not, why there isn't someone looking into using the worlds core heat and volcanos, hot springs etc to provide some of our needs like that too. It is a well known fact that the very tarmac on our streets collects solar heat, we could possibly be using the streets for making energy, right where we need it most, in the city's of the world. It is also known that a very short distance under the surface of the earth the temperature is always 7 or 8 degrees higher than on the surface, we in Ireland are increasingly using that to heat our houses, surely we could be using the acreage of roads we have for the production of energy worldwide somehow as you so correctly state financing is the key and some peeps think that the bulk of the research is being left to the companies that are making the money out of oil at the moment, I don't know but if it is then this brings a conflict of interest untill the oil is about to run out. I think this is one area where the capitalist system doesn't work well and it should not be left to individuals to compete, I don't mean we should stop them but there should be a world research fund to sort out something that suits everyone, idealy.
dear Morticia, I can't speak for others or hollywood but for me, care IS love, whether it's for a pet, a child or a partner, if we care about them it's because we love them and vice versa. Respect is a whole other ball game but the two do go hand in hand. I knew I cared for my wife before we got together as we had known each other for some years already and over time it developed into love but I do believe that peeps can meet and feel their desire almost instantly too.
I agree entirely and I'm sure that the Japanese can exploit a number of renewable sources to fit their needs, in a way it's easier for rural locations to get satisfaction from small output devices but even in the cities things should be getting easier, even light bulbs are consuming less and becoming more efficient.
Dear auntie Vinnie, I already have to wear my glasses for driving as it is an offence to drive with uncorrected defective vision in this country, it's one thing being "four eyes" but if things cary on like this I'll have "more eyes" than a kerrs pink potato
when the pictures of the tsunami were on the tv I saw a fairly large ship on it's side on the land, I doubt the pelamis could do much more damage than that...and no radioactive cloud. It should be possible to make anchorages that are tsunamiproof. Apparently the one that is running the island off scotland is the only one needed there but Portugal was the first country to have a "wave farm" of them.
I didn't mean to infer that you were incompetent due to your age, I was trying to make the point that whatever our generation does, it's the following generations that have to live with the results and it seems that the "cheap" alternative today is turning out to be very costly in terms of human life and health care. I do know a little about reprocessing, we have a reprocessing plant in the u.k. that country's from all over the world bring their waste to and there have been slip ups there too. It doesn't alter my opinion that this stuff is just too dangerous to have around, it was put earlier that nuclear facilities are the single most viable form of electrical generation on the planet but we don't have a single reactor that has been cost effective in the uk..... it seems all the country's now want plutonium for a nuclear deterent. It seems that all country's have to do their own tests, even the tests spread pollution There is a big thing in news at the moment in the uk about the servicemen who witnessed the early military tests, of course most of them are dead now
that's just the kind of thinking that created the "almost everlasting" pollution that the thread is about it seems that those who think they are cleverest have the least sense sometimes never mind, you look quite old, you won't have to worry about it much longer, it'll be the next generations problem then
that's right, and it applies to you as much as me it seems we both seem to have definite and opposed opinions, that's ok by me, I'm not going to fret over it, as I said earlier we're both entitled to our opinions.
probably about 50% of the density of the commercial mussel beds in Bantry bay
I believe there was another plan some time ago to use savonious rotors anchored to the sea bed, I don't know what became of that, I can't remember what it was called.
The government in the uk has said that they are comitted to using diverse methods of renewable energy forms to reduce our carbon footprint and provide power for the masses, not everybody wants a windfarm near them and not all locations are suitable for them, the link I posted earlier is just one of the proven alternatives possible, I mentioned it because Japan is an Island and has the possibility for using the sea for much safer uses than pumping it around nuclear reactors and allowing it to escape into the atmosphere as a radioactive cloud and/or flowing back into the sea, contaminating that environment with radiation too, both instances of which have happened in the past at nuclear reactors in the uk.
All I can say is that Chicken little wasn't a part of the curriculum in my school not that I can remember half of what was, I do remember that the merchant of venice bored me rigid. If we're going to be making fowl comparisons about each other, it seems to me that you are coming accross on the forums more like foghorn Leghorn.
Thank you for continually repeating excerpts from my posts, it's great to know that peeps will get to read them no matter what page they log in at.
I felt you were, I never heard of chicken little and was certainly not trying to emulate anybody's "routine" and I do think it's a funny idea that you should think so. My bath is ready so I'm off now.
once again you have managed to misconstrue the whole point. I don't want to change the entire world at all, in fact as a farmer I spend my life trying to maintain the status quo on my little bit. All I want is for other people not to change it for the worse unnecesarily. simples
You seem to be a bit thick or are deliberately not getting what I'm saying at all, I don't care how expertly engineered any design of nuclear reactor is, I'm just against them in principle because of the magnitude of the negative effect on the world when things do go wrong thats all. There is absolutely no industry in the world that can 100% guarantee that things will never go wrong. Is that so very hard to understand? or do you think that in some way you should have the right to change my opinion? why should I look up things I'm not interested in just to please you? it wouldn't change my opinion if I did! Am I supposed to be happy about the chinese using pebbles? sorry but I'm not, I wasn't happy when the chinese were doing nuclear explosion tests in the ocean and we had awfull weather here for two years after it, what makes you think I'll be happier about it on your say so?
I was refering to what you called a chicken little (I don't know where that came from but you seem to have lots of funny ideas) I don't actually believe that the wavepower thing is that old but if you say so
RE: DOES THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT HAVE THE RIGHT TO REOPEN NUCLEAR PLANTS LOCATED IN SISMIC OR TSUNAMI RI
you said you liked lies!
