If you want to find out more information, contact me.

Thank you,

I think our commodities are already moving too far from farm to market now.
We need to be thinking long and acting on the short term solutions.
I just returned from 2 weeks in Brazil, drove 3000 KM on 100% Ethanol, and visited the VW factory to see the new line of Flex-Fuel vehicles. The American Public have been hoodwinked again, These cars available there are from GM, Ford, Renualt, VW, Citroen get MORE POWER on the Ethanol. And the Fuel costs was about 50% compared to Gasoline. They do not need the 15% hydrocarbons and their emission profile is much cleaner. The carmakers and their political machine has decided to ingore the facts that there are over 40 models of cars, trucks and vans that can run on renewable fuel. We can transport and deliver the product if we had the will. Remember that it is NOT the use of corn of alcohol that raised the price of wheat and soya, it is global demand for higher value foodstuffs. They just are scapegoating the corn users for the decline of the dollar and new demand from the far east. When we soon make ethanol from yard waste, what will happen to the cost of that input? and will the price of cow corn decline?

TRANSPORTATION is the master key to basic survival, and the cornerstone of the economy. We all know that transportation presently depends on oil production, and oil production is peaking. We must focus first on transportation – it is the highest priority.
The PickensPlan to transition vehicles to natural gas is a great start toward 100% energy independence, but is a stop-gap measure till we can transition to all electric transportation. Electric energy is strained without adding transportation demands; so we must drastically improve efficiency .
Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT) is a patented technology where travel occurs without air friction or rolling resistance (like “Space Travel on Earth”); ETT can accomplish 50 times more transportation per kWh (or carbon credit) than electric cars or trains. ETT is silent, low cost, safe, faster than jets, and is electric so it can make maximum use of wind or PV power. I invite you to visit my page to learn more about ETT

Comments and suggestions wanted.

At 5:39am on July 10, 2008, Valerie said…: Ken, thanks for the info. I just bought 3 40Watt equivalent bulbs from ledecos.com to try them out. I bought one 4ft led fluorescent tube equivalent from some other site that I cant remember to try it out at home and then potentially use in my lab at work. I did not know that their were any old-fashioned bulb replacement LEDs out there...so thanks again.
