Here’s a youtube video explaining the process:

Microbial Remediation Oil problems

and nothing comes up. Problems to this technology just don’t seem to exist! And it is less expensive according to the video. What is stopping our government and BP from installing these measures post haste? Oil is now staining Daupin Island, Alabama, the coastline in Louisiana and it will not be long before the southern beaches of Florida will be affected. Imagine what they’ll have to rename Clearwater? Sludgewater? And the smell of true crude is awful. This is not your used refined oil smell that you might take out of your car, That is basically odorless. Imagine a sludge that is formed of, and smells like death and decomposition. Transocean employees surely know this as they were working on the oil rig that exploded. Deepwater Horizon is the new Exxon Valdez, supplanted in infamy based on the size of the massive spill off American waters.

We’ll keep you informed of this and other entertaining news.

Princeton Universities Tim Searchinger finds there are other effects from the use of bio-fuels “The simplest explanation is that when we divert our corn or soybeans to fuel, if people around the world are going to continue to eat the same amount that they’re already eating, you have to replace that food somewhere else.” The use of bio-fuel here is forcing an expansion in other parts of the world so forests and grasslands are being destroyed to accommodate the crop growth.”

The government supports, and gives large subsidies to farmers who grow crops for bio-fuel consumption. It is calling for an expansion to reduce the US dependence on foreign oil, but it is going in the wrong direction if you care about greenhouse gasses according to Alex Farrell at the University of California – Berkley. If you are farmer in the Midwest this is bad news. If you are a consumer who is buying milk and eggs, looks like an implosion of those food prices might be eminent if the study gains a footing in government policy.

The study finds that no matter how much crops for fuel improve their efficiencies they will still not measure up to options that do not require farmland for bio-fuel production. Alternatives? Agriculturally friendly, thus Earth friendly bio-fuels could be made from agricultural waste, or grasses grown on land otherwise unsuitable for feed crops. The other easy alternative would be to use existing waste that would otherwise be going into a landfill. We’ll keep you informed of this and other entertaining news.

Common mistypes: Biofuel feedcrop

The 35 miles per gallon -mpg (9.2 miles per litre) federal standard will includes passenger cars SUV’s and small trucks. Today the standard is 27.5 for cars and 22.2 for SUV’s and trucks. Refineries will have to increase to 36 billion gallons, the use of ethanol from about 6 billion gallons. Further, the bill requires that the biofuel comes from a source other than corn. Which means prarie grass and wood chips will become sought commodities, and it will not necessarily increase the cost of human foodstuffs. –Or at least that is the intent.

Much of the bill seems to be capital hill puffery since demand for lower energy costs will drive most of the “law.” For example: the law mandates a 70% increase in lightbulbs which is already realized with the advent of fluorescent light bulbs. The good news is that it requires their use in federal buildings. The government costs will go up initially for their purchase, but then lower as the cost of energy to use the new technology is realized.

Some of the Ads tell how the Mantles are being created by Amish craftsmen. The feeling these ads seem to by trying to convey is that they have credible and even religious sources backing their claim. In essence they seem to be saying, if you don’t think Paul Harvey is not a credible source, how about you believe that a well known religious group believes in our product?

In recent months the advertising has altered. In the beginning they told how you could save 50% on your heating bill. All through the ad it tells how you can save this money, but then explains later how the user must alter the quality of their environment by turning down the regular heating in the dwelling and using amazing new “space heater” in the areas they are occupying.

It is a good energy saving practice to turn down the heat and use a portable heater to heat the area that you are occupying, but you sdon’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on these particular heaters to get the same or at least a similar cost saving result.
