Did You Know That . . . . . ?

Just viewed 'Christmas Decorations' on Kool Daze blog.

Here's mine . . .

It's a Work in Progress.

My friend Chris just gave me a guitar....and I'm learning how to tune it.

A Special Day

Get Oil

Did You Know That……

We’re going to be in big trouble if someone doesn’t get a reasonable National Energy Policy developed and implemented - by someone……and soon, and I don’t mean leaving it up to our President or the Federal Government or environmentalists. Experts in all Energy Technologies [working together in concert as a team] must be brought together, utilizing their knowledge, experience and vision to steer our country in the direction of energy independence and security over the next 10 years. This means drawing on our best scientists, engineers, inventors, economists, visionary industry leaders and maybe a politician or two. I believe - all tasks must be addressed by team members with absolute dedication and sincerity. No lying, stealing or cheating. No credit or blame allowed. Consider all ideas as possibilities. Plan the work and work the plan.

We must choose to move our Country forward wisely and to use, as good stewards, all of the vast energy resources that God gave us. Or else, we can be reactionary and go back to the cave, wheel and lever. Or how about this, we can remain - status quo - and let our nation be held hostage to foreign oil producer/exporter nations that don’t care much for the U.S. – not very good alternatives.

Look, were a nation - dependant on oil. And we have vast untouched resources available to accommodate our needs. Unfortunately, with no new wells being drilled, oil production will continue to diminish year-by-year while demand continues to increase, both nationally and worldwide. Think!! What happens to oil prices when demand exceeds supply? We need to get the Ox out of the ditch. The petroleum industry knows where the most abundant and available oil reserves are located – so let the oil flow. And by the way, natural gas is normally a by-product of oil production. So, it also needs to be exploited! Sarah Palin has taken the initiative to build a natural gas pipeline from Alaska, across Canada, to the lower 48 states. Let's get it moving!!

Can you imagine a collection of energy source and associated technology possibilities for our country that will assure future supply, security, prosperity and clean environment?
-More Alaskan Oil – ANWR and Gull Island [Anybody heard of Gull Island?]
-More Offshore Oil – Atlantic/Pacific Coasts and Gulf of Mexico
-Oil Shale – It's plentiful in Utah and Wyoming [Extraction technologies under development]
-Coal – Make it clean/turn it into oil [America is the Saudi Arabia of coal]
-Natural Gas – It's everywhere that there are oil wells and oil shale [Liquefy and transport]
-Natural Gas Crystals – Alaskan North Slope [85 trillion cu.ft. gas hydrate recoverable]
-Hydroelectric – Existing technology is mature [More sources needed]
-Geothermal – Good to a limited degree [Exists in certain areas of the Country]
-Wind Mills – Need land, wind and money [High investment cost and wind unreliability]
-Solar – Good for daylight hours [Technology constantly improving]
-Tides and currents – Ocean tides always rise and fall [Limited locations and technology]
-Nuclear Power – Now at 20% of domestic supply [We’re shamefully behind in application]
-Mini-Nuclear Power Plants- A great potential for small community installations [Safe and economical - something new on the horizon]
-Algea Oil - High quality manufactured petroleum [Technology works - needs cost reduction]

This is just the tip of the iceberg.


We have the ability - We have the technology - We have the resources - We have the manpower - We have the vision.

It's not up to someone else! Let's get 'er done.


And, that's all I've got to say about that ....... right now.

Did You Know That......

- An external combustion Steam Engine has been developed and will soon go into production. It's called the Cyclone Engine and can be scaled up in size and horsepower from a string trimmer to a locomotive. The engine burns most any fuel and produces exceptionally clean exhaust. The first production engine will quietly power a 10kw generator.



- An exciting new process has been developed to produce high quality oil from algae. It will be price-competitive with drilled oil and can be produced most anywhere in the world. Algae is actually new oil and for this process is a feed stock which reproduces itself. The process can be scaled up or down to fit any production need. I see the possibility of utilizing this process to power Cyclone Engine applications.



- New Dell laptop computers will soon be sold with a 19hr battery and HP will be selling computers with a touch screen that replaces the keyboard.



- If you get your tv via a satellite provider [Dish or Directv], you may be able to reduce your monthly bill by 20%+ and still maintain your current subscription plan. All you have to do is ask - I did.

I received the following video from a USNA classmate. The background music is a little droll but you can handle that. It's a no-nonsense and goes to the bottom line video.

(Let me know if you want specific references or websites).

Do you feel passionate enough to cast your vote - either one way or the other - based on only one of the listed issues? I do!
