About the Author
I am a member of the working middle class. I normally vote democrat because I am concerned with the plight of the working people and their families. I believe in adequate wages sufficient to allow all middle class working Americans to live the American dream. Like most others, I believe medical cost should be affordable to the point where it is not an issue for us or our employers. I believe we should continue to have the decent working conditions provided by our hard won labor laws obtained through the sacrifices of organized labor. I vote Democrat to keep the separation between church and state alive so we can remain free from religious persecution. I also vote democrat because I believe in their progressive policies which enable us to be the one of the worlds leading innovators in industrial and technological advances. This is good for our economy and our spirits. I also like and, as long as we can afford to, support taking care of our environment along with all the other creatures who share this planet with us. I am, however, not willing to risk facing the catastrophic consequences which will be brought on by not immediately setting up programs and incentives to utilize our own oil, coal, and natural gas reserves here at home. This should be our biggest concern. Without affordable oil and all it implies we will have nothing. With as much regard for the environment as we can bring to bear we must compromise on our environmental desires, to what ever extent is dictated by our current needs, and immediately begin to exploit our own fossil fuel resources while taking the necessary steps to end our dependence on energy sources derived from fossil fuels. The development of realistic sustainable and dependable alternative fuels and energy sources must be our number one priority both in the immediate and distant future while we, for the time being, survive by promoting the exploration, capturing and utilization of our own national fossil fuel resources. I have been a supporter of a democratic candidate from day one for obvious reasons but am gravely concerned with their political approach to this issue. I am not so sure they realizes the severity of the consequences of not meeting this challenge head on, right now! The war in Iraq is likely the biggest mistake we’ve every made but it’s not going to shut our nation down if it goes on, heaven forbid, for a little longer. The fossil fuel issue, however, can’t wait, and I believe most people, at least those who are not ‘obsessive compulsive’ will be in favor of applying the common sense to do what is needed to save us from this looming cloud of doom which is drifting in on us as we sleep. It is the key to solving our current economic woes. It’s currently at the heart of our problem and, if the topic is our economy, must be addressed. Anyone who is not talking about taking such measures is merely pandering to the public and is doing nothing more than what they perceive as necessary to get elected. That is not change! Please remember, it’s a fact that the world now demands more oil than is being produced. We are entering a crises of monumental proportions which, very soon, will become all too evident. Within the next two years the American way of life may be completely out of reach for all but the very rich. Many of us will be unable to afford the gas to get us to work. Meaningful jobs will disappear. The dependent entitlements from the corresponding investment side of things, such as retirements and medical, will also disappear. There will be anarchy and chaos, and, with our already under staffed local law enforcement, people will be facing horrors right out of fiction. This is part of the reason we are seeing such an energized presidential primary campaign. Some people know we have reached the end with respect to how much political neglect we can endure without a complete collapse of the American middle class. We are desperate to make the necessary changes within the guide lines of our democratic system because the other alternative could rival or surpass our worst nightmares. If we are really thinking green we had better begin to capitalize on our vast supply of natural gas, coal and our own oil resources including offshore oil deposits to keep our machinery, transportation and petrochemical bi- products going. A global war caused by a hungry world desperate for energy will pose a far greater threat to our planet and its inhabitants than any of our current scenarios of drilling and mining etc. If forced to, I and many others will reluctantly vote for the other party if it offers an immediate solution as described above to this most critical issue.
"Oh What A Web We Weave" I have to say this election is going to come down to which party you want in the white house and nothing to do with any one candidate. So many people are simply tired of what Bush has done in the office, that they are willing to vote for whom ever is running for the Democrat seat. McCain, Obama, and Hillary are all pawns in this game of government. I have to say that they all seem to be well able bodies to run, but only one will win. Most people will not vote McCain simply because he's Republican. Others will not vote for Obama due to his not having years under his belt along with the problems in the press due to his past affiliation with a particular church. I have had people tell me that the US is ready for a woman president, however the world is not. Many countries do not even give women the right to vote much less run for office. Times are ah surely changing all over the world, but will they get better or worse. Is it fair that our economy is going to hell in a hand basket? Are we really to blame? I do not have all the answers to that, but I do leave with this word of thought. How can we blame anyone but the government simply because they get to break all the rules and we cannot. We as a nation have to stand up for ourselves and scream that we are tired of the nepatism for corporations. The economy will not bounce back on its own our government has to put caps on gas prices and re-establish our mortgage sector. They can do these things for the regular american people as they do them all the time for the BIG Corps. of America.
in the spirit of full disclosure, anybody wanna 'fess up about what they drive?
i'll go first!!
2006 honda accord ex 4-cyl. i average 28-30 mpg. this car is currently for sale, as i am buying a prius.
who's next?

Would you care to? Lunar mining? Sounds like Buck Rodgers 21st century. Really are we going to shuttle mined fuels from the moon to earth? What would they be? Are we going to live on the mooon? That would be the most efficient use of that.
Solar satelites? Disconnected from earth like the moon would need to transport energy back to earth for its use here. Ok use lasers, now you have high energy lasers pointing at earth constantly and to what effect on things here?
PV its already known, large surface areas of PV arrays needed. Concentrated Solar gathering equipment is basically the same in area just using a different form of energy conversion. You only get so much energy per square meter from sun light, and you only get it during the day time. Read More »

I think I will call a little news letter about water related items "The Water Front" I think it fits as one of the issues we as American's should be concerned with is water.
I visited with congressman Todd Platts (R) PA 19th and spoke with him about my ideas of a National Water Bank system. Though I debated each hurdle he placed about the need of such a system he still insisted that it was a local, regional, state and private supplier concern. He acknowledged that the federal government has played parts in developing some water resources. He sited that there was no immediate market driven forces that indicated the need for such a system.

There are some in Congress and many lobbyists that are arguing against raising the CAFE (Corporate Average Fleet Economy), the mpg minimums that auto manufactures have to average. The Chicago Tribune argues against raising CAFE. Here is my letter to the editor:
To the editor:
Today's editorial "All gassed up in the Senate" argues that the CAFE standards (Corporate Average Fuel economy) imposed by Congress have not achieved a reduction in overall gasoline usage. Assumptions like this are at best difficult to prove and most likely not a proper correlation. What is clear is that the price of gas has not yet risen to the point which would force us to significantly modify our driving habits. It would be better to ask the question, how much more gasoline would we be using without CAFE?
Fuel usage in our country is, as economists would say, semi-elastic. Price thus far has only had a minor effect on usage. Perhaps that is because we live in a culture that requires us to drive often and the price of gas has not yet become a significant factor in reducing "elective" driving; those extra, non-essential trips we take without considering the price of fuel.
It is true that fuel imports have nearly doubled since the CAFE laws were passed in 1975. However fuel usage and imports would be even higher if CAFE was not in effect. One loophole in the CAFE standards requires a much lower standard for SUV's, pick up trucks and other large vehicles, very popular until recently.
Fuel usage will only go down when the price of gas causes us to change our driving habits and higher CAFE standards ensure that we use less fuel than we would with lower standards. The current public discourse over energy, however, leaves me with hope.

I'm disappointed on a daily basis when the issue of diverting energy subsidies to those of our auto manufacures isn't addressed. I'm not talking about a blank check to the "Big 3" either but as incentive and reward.
The oil industry doesn't really deserve the subsidies it gets since they are making obsene profits and not seriously developing new energy sources. We are behind the Chinese in the field of renewable energy. Fossil fuel based engines are a dead technology. They are only still around because we won't let it die. It's as if our government is spending money on keeping an 8-Track tape player manufacurer in business knowing full well that the digital format is the way to go and that other countries are already developing it. And it doesn't look like the fuel companies are going to seriously look into changing themselves into future energy companies at all. Instead, it seems their version of research is finding out where to drill next and not into developing solar farming or alternative fuels.
I do enjoy the argument that these things take time and resources. My rebuke is to look back at our initial involvement into the Second World War and how quickly we retooled our factories for planes, tanks and warships. How quickly the people commited themselve to that unifies goal. Is it that we as Americans don't have it in us anymore? I don't think so. I believe that one responsibility of our government is to organize and manage to achieve a common goal and I don't think that is happening. In fact, I believe our current administration is actually holding us back.
So what to do with those close to $300 billion in subsidies. Can't there be a variety of programs set up to aid in this shift? Can't they be awarded to auto manufactures to help finance retooling of their plants? Can't there be government sponsored rebates to make a hybrid version of a vehicle more accessible than a standard fuel version? Or another program getting commercial hybrids on the road as well?
Or maybe I'm just an idiot that doesn't see the big picture. Maybe this financial fortification of the domestic auto industry won't stop those jobs from going overseas (Chevrolet has already disclosed that in the near future somewhere between 70-80% of its' vehicles will be made in either India or China). For me it's definitely worth a try.

Please do not misinterpret this posting. But with all due respect, my new good friend, these blogs are an important item in helping the people of this nation develop a full understanding of issues and to be able to discuss them such they can be developed into platforms by candidates that will give them an advantage of understanding what positions and issues the people hold most dear. Also in discussing matters here, in this type of forum, there is a much greater ability to achieve a much wider understanding of issues and concerns which people have in this nation.
It is this tool that is so powerful! This site that is so useful! This ability to have national round table discussions which can be so helpful! These abilities to reach so many so quickly and so effectively with such understanding and input capability that will make these elections so unique and so able to correct adverse directions this nation is proceeding into!
Do you not see an advantage to having an ability to address things in a round table setting where the whole of the nation can participate if they so choose, discussion, by us about the candidates? We should be discussing the issues, and the candidates should be discussing them with us. We are the people, we are the governed and we are those that would be the electors of our government. We should not be discussing them for office rather they, in desiring office, should be discussing what is important and relevant to us with us. Then we would be able to decide which candidate would be best in a particular office, in understanding which candidate seeks to understand, respect and appreciate we the people's feelings, desires, hopes, concerns, insights and desired direction for this nation such they would seek to uphold those sentiments above all other concerns while they hold their office in our name.

Where ethanol is one of the leading fuel sources, in regards to renewable fuels developed in this nation. Ethanol production poses some dilemmas. Current production of Ethanol is primarily from corn and corn is not one of the leading efficient producers of Ethanol. Corn is a main food staple in this and other countries around the world.
Farmers love it because they can receive higher prices for their product. Which is good for them considering many of them have struggled with profits during recent years.
However, extensive use of corn in the production of Ethanol has potential to disrupt corn supplies for food. This can be a negative result from trying to move towards energy independence using renewable fuels.
Ok, well how about sugar cane, that is a better, more efficient way of producing Ethanol. Where corn can grow in almost any region of this nation, sugar cane is restricted to the southern areas. So there is a limiting factor in its production. How about sugar beets, to be honest I can not give you much info on that one at this moment, but I will do some checking into that.
There is also Cellulosic Ethanol, Ethanol derived from whole plant and fibrous materials. Greater efficiency, yet unproven as far as I know in this country, though Carlo says that China has a working process in which a company in California will be using or is using. This poses an ability to develop larger amounts of Ethanol for use in moving towards energy independence.
Problems associated with Ethanol in replacing gasoline, lower fuel mileage. Lower BTU content of Ethanol directly translates into higher fuel consumption. Placing a greater demand on production amounts of Ethanol than the amount of gasoline replaced.
Let's not forget that we use two types of fuel, gasoline and diesel. Ethanol does not work well with diesel. Therefore we have to address diesel with another type of alternate fuel. Currently that is methyl esters "Bio-Diesel". Again, lesser in BTU content than the petroleum product, though it is less of a difference in BTU content from its petroleum counterpart than Ethanol is to gasoline. Production, mainly from vegetable oils with a focus on soybean oil, which by the way is one of the lower production sources available. But soybean is more developed as a crop source, and the byproducts from oil production have a wider range of uses.
Research has been done on Algae for production of bio-diesel. Many Algae sources have been identified containing good to large amounts of oil content in the Algae. This poses significant advances in the production of oils for bio-diesel production. However bio-diesel still has other issues relating to production. During production methyl esters requires Methanol to replace glycerol's present in the oil which is converted to methyl esters. Additionally methyl esters are a very good solvent, requiring an engine to be slightly modified for its use to avoid deterioration of hoses and other rubberized components.
This brings me to beyond Ethanol. There is a process known as Thermal Depolymerization, developed and in use by Changing World Technologies, Inc. which converts feed stocks into a light crude oil which can be fractionally distilled as regular petroleum crude oil into gasoline and diesel. The exact same hydrocarbons, and produces the exact same fuels as you get at the pump right now from regular petroleum crude oil. However this process has not be tested or researched in association with Algae.
One of the intents of the writer of this posting is to work with Changing World Technologies, Inc. to develop research data their process in association with Algae. It is a theory of the writer of this posting that Thermal Depolymerization will work and work well in association with Algae. The achievement of positive research results would develop renewable fuel sources that are the equivalent to petroleum crude oil gasoline and diesel.
This may pose a significant advancement in renewable fuel production by developing Renewable gasoline and renewable diesel products equal to positive carbon dioxide emitting counterparts currently developed and used from petroleum crude oil.
I believe that with development of Thermal Depolymerization in conjunction with specialized strains of Algae and adding Cellulosic Ethanol production this nation or any nation with sufficent water resources and land resources could have potential to develop energy independence through developing renewable fuels. There could even be potential for some nations, with large areas of land available, to develop exports of renewable fuels. Though in saying that I would prefer that they not seek to destroy vital eco systems in the development of renewable fuels by any method.
I'll keep you posted on developments in my efforts to develop a research agreement with Changing World Technologies, Inc.
Let's hope for the best. :)

Water is a vital component of clean renewable fuel production. Plant sources used for feed stock require water to grow and develop the sources of fuel feed stocks they produce. (Photosynthesis process) Hydrogen generated from water's elemental separation, is directly produced from water.
To produce renewable fuels from plant sources or directly from water, would that not require that we address water when we address the production of renewable fuels derived from water?
I think that would be the case!
Given there are areas of this nation that have a growing concern with water reserves in their water resources. How can this nation reasonably expect to develop large scale renewable fuel production that would be needed to replace imported crude oil?
Does anyone have a good answer to that? If so please share it with the rest of us!
If no one has a good answer, then I might suggest National Water Fund in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. A corporation established November 14, 2006 under Pennsylvania's Nonprofit Law of 1988.
Though they are a new non profit company seeking to develop and gain support.
Their intent is to develop water resources in this nation via a national water bank system to enable renewable fuel production while maintaining existing water usages and establish environmental sustainability of this nations water resources in addition to other charitable organization functions.
Its easy to understand, the founder says. If you want clean renewable fuels to run your car and power plants, to reduce green house gas emissions and work towards developing energy independence. First ensure you have the water to support the development of the fuel. Or, find a fuel source that does not require water for its development and meets your clean fuel criteria!
On a final note, a national water bank system does not mean federalization of our water systems, just a way to ensure water reserves in this country are maintained through all of their usages. Including, adding new water usages for the production of renewable fuel.
America, "Want to go with water?" Then, "Let's stop water woes!"

If large-scale desalination is required as a part of a national water bank, should the desalination energy be sought to be from renewable energy sources, provided renewable energies can provide that energy or from traditional fossil fuel sources?
Would it be conceivable that a national water bank would need to have a subsidizing inflow from mechanical desalination to ensure water levels in the national water bank such to ensure water reserves are needed for all water resources that may have a need for make up water drawn from the national water bank to ensure their sustainability?
Could a nationally interconnected water system that acts as a national water bank provide for future uses of water in this nation through an unification of water resources in an effort to ensure continued usage from our water resources is sustained regardless of natural conditions that may exist in the areas that feed the natural inflows to our water resources?
Would a nationally interconnected water system that acts as a water bank to ensure this nations water reserves against excessive depletion, preserve water resource environmental sustainability, enable large scale renewable fuel production in an effort to achieve energy independence, while seeking to aid in flood control, be a federalization of our water resources?
Can an interstate connection system of water infrastructure be used to aid this country develop large scale renewable fuel production that could develop energy independence?
Can flood water resources in areas that are typically drained to relieve the effected area, be captured and used in other areas for renewable fuel production?
If congress does not wish to develop a national water policy, for fear of federalization of the water in this nation, how can this nation address development of the water resources that this nation needs to develop renewable fuels that can achieve energy independence?
If renewable fuels are to be considered as a way to develop energy independence, how can this nation achieve energy independence with out ensuring the water resources that will be required to be used for renewable fuel development?
Clean renewable fuels have water precursers. Plant product feed stocks require photosynthesis which depends on water. Hydrogen generated from water's elemental seperation is directly linked to water.
With water issues looming in parts of this country, how can this nation address increasing renewable fuels effectively with out addressing water needs?
With water issues looming in parts of this country, how can this nation address increasing renewable fuels effectively with out addressing water needs?
If drought in the colorado river and California continues what is to be done to ensure water resources? Import Water? or Seek to desalinate? Or should we look at both options and develop all the ways to ease droughts?
