" IS HE FOR REAL? "

As I watched the President of our country once more try to defend Corporate America, I was embarrassed. To think that the rest of the world was watching this bumbling idiot tripping over his tong with every word he spoke. Watching him flatly refusing to acknowledge that anything is wrong with his administration and how they have handled this country is beyond belief. And again referring to the people of this nation as "CONSUMERS" not CITIZENS is evidence as to how we are viewed and legislated . Want to be embarrassed.....Watch this!

I thought those SNL skits at first. Renewables = Corn thats funny.

Renewables...a bunch of hog shit! We need research into fuel cells using hydrogen. The technology is already mastered, just needs refining.
Is this president and his posse, all of them, going to get away with their crimes? Or are we going to hold them accountable as we are held accountable? They are nothing more than gangsters running rackets from the White House and the Senate.

All else is shit.There is one thing we need. More oil.There is no shortage of oil.Assholes who like to cloke themselves with this envromental bull shit are the reason oil is not drilled for in the Gulf of Mexico anywhere near Florida for fear of a leak fouling their beaches.These same pigs are against drilling in ANWAR and will spew shit about how little oil is there when it is none of their damn business in the first place. These same idiots will try to block any new refinery.They will do anything to prevent any new nuclear power plants.They are pigs and they are also all without exception stupid liberal democRATS who most are leaches who never owned anything unless it was given to them.They are traitors and if you stupid bastards can't see them for what they are then you desirve what you get.Why don't they call these subhumans conservatives? It is what they really are isn't it? Want to conserve something for yet to be born people? How stupid can they be?

So a leak fouling the beaches of Florida would be OK as long as we got more oil? ANWAR is a 10 month supply of oil at current consumption rates. Even if we did drill for more oil, all we would be doing is delaying the energy crunch for a few more years. Why not get out ahead of it while there is still oil that can be produced? Conservation is about easing the transition to another another energy source, not an attempt to hold Exxon's profits to only 5 billion next quarter.

George Bush trips over his words so much it's a miracle he can walk.

Southview,

1) Hydrogen is a storage medium, like a battery, not a source of energy. You need energy to make the hydrogen, and the conversion is probably less efficient than a battery cycle.

2) I was outraged to hear that Bush's latest impediment was his tong. Me and my yakuza buddies are really pissed at his double-dealing.

dw...Hydrogen is a gaseous fuel. You can produce it by "electrolysis". It is not like a battery. There are several good articles out there, Google it and check it out!

Southview,

Hydrogen fuel is like a battery in that the hydrogen is not a source of energy, but rather something which must be created by the use of energy from another source. (Indeed, when hydrogen is used in a fuel cell it is exactly a battery.)

Gasoline and other oil products are simultaneously the source and the medium for their energy, since oil comes out of the ground from wells, but hydrogen does not come out of the ground, but rather is made by using energy to split water, or is made from petroleum or coal (most commonly natural gas).

Likewise, charged batteries, and electricity from your wall, are both mediums for delivering us energy; but if someone asked George Bush, "where can we find additional sources of energy?" and Bush answered, "I say we should get more energy from our wall sockets," then we should of course all laugh at him -- and recoil in shame that he was our President.

It would be equally meaningless, but a lot less surprising, if a President answered that hydrogen should be our new source of energy supply.

That doesn't mean hydrogen is useless. Like electric wires, batteries and other storage media, hydrogen is likely to have favorable applications some day -- perhaps even in fuel cells powering our motor vehicles.

Southview said...

Dw...I get your drift. I think that your analogy is somewhat to simplified and misleading. A fuel cell isn't a battery, as such would be described in the dictionary, but more a process where by you use a battery to release the hydrogen from the H2O thingie. You are saying that Hydrogen is not a unencumbered fuel source, meaning that it is not something that you can just dig up and use without processing with some other energy source. NOT TRUE. The ocean is full of HYDROGEN HYDRATES that just need a safe way to harvest. Technology will solve that problem soon. And besides, even the process of turning crude into it's graded parts requires an alternate energy source. It all boils down to physics and economics. Getting more out at a cheaper cost than you use and spend to in the process.
