Actually, grants shouldn't be provided for anything, by our federal government anyhow. The only way the feds are authorized to assist research is to provide patenting.
It sounds like windpods are a low-wattage urban solution, better for a house at low altitudes. Most train tracks would go through plenty of rural area where a larger unit can be placed.
If it's easy to change the easily produced methane to an easily liquefied form via some sort of hydrocarbon chaining to say, butane, that would be an excellent way of packaging it for transport to be used as fuel or further chaining for plastics.
Has anyone here heard of research on a "mag-rail" system? This meaning using a linear stator engine similar to mag-lev, but using rails to support the weight, rather than levitation. This should mitigate the high wattage use of mag-lev technology,...
Join in this Collective Intelligence forum and speed up The Plan. The goal of this forum is to put in contact anyone willing to share any scientific breakthrough, innovative solution or clever design, and to work together in a virtual R&D Center.
Mag-lev technology can also be used to eliminate the need to transport fuel. Existing mag-lev may not be suitable for freight transport due to the weight, but a hybrid "mag-rail" system would do the trick. it can use a linear stator motor to push ...
I would rather see a bill passed that publicly funds most of the EPA's fees to certify natural gas conversion kits for vehicles. This would help us get more of a competitive market for conversion kits, helping reduce the cost of the transition for...
Hi James!

The Pledge-Fax Your Statement!!
Please read, sign, and fax to the number listed at the bottom of the Pledge page. It would be a great help to the Community if you could download the pledge, distribute, and persuade others to sign. The Community feels this is the best way to get the attention of state and federal lawmakers. Kim Anderson has other types of sign-up sheets. This is a great way to let lawmakers know of your interest in the reduction of foreign oil.
Please tell friends to check out the site and read the Pledge.
The Communications Group created a great deal of information to read and to distribute within a member's local community. Please take your time browsing through the materials.
The Videos link at the top of your Profile Page contains videos that are a good source of information. The technical videos and amateur videos are varied, so paging back to page one might be the best way to browse. On the other hand, if you would like, simply type key words in the search box.
Please use these links to find your State Congressional District Group. This is a great way to meet and communicate with your neighbors regarding the Pickens Plan. Thank You for Joining Your District Group!
