T. Boone on CSPAN 12/02/2008

Did you guys see T. Boone on C-SPAN? I was very concerned at the ideology of Stephen Moore from The Wall Street Journal he was very wrong in my opinion. He thinks we have great technology in Oil, but not in green energy. He uses statistics about existing green energy to base his numbers; not what we can do. He uses the statistics from the past and not from now. He needs to look at how these green jobs will help us in more than one way. Converting to the Pickens Plan will do everything that Steph… Continue

What companies I would start!

The first company I would start is a power generation company that uses natural gas from landfills that are capped but not currently being used for power generation. The next company I would start is a biofuel service station starting in Jacksonville, Live Oak, and Tallahassee FL. The station would sell Biodiesel, Dimethyl Ether, Ethanol, Methanol, Butanol and Natural Gas. I would work with a company to make a pump that would allow you to mix DME, Biodiesel and Petro-diesel in and combination.… Continue

The Research Isn't Working??

Research that won't pan out? That is the exact opposite of everything that I say. The technology has always been here. There is just not enough small companies investing in the technology. Instead of people investing in things that could really help our economy, we just invest in housing. I agree that we should drill on the east coast, and hope the nipple is offshore Jacksonville. But drilling should cost the government nothing. Mobil created a process in the 70s to convert methanol to gasolin… Continue

Hey John, Look Here!

It seems building Nuclear Plants could only benefit a small number of people in relation to solar power grants. Nuclear has a faster payback than solar, but who benefits from us buying nuclear?? I don't see new companies starting up to build nuclear plants. Aren't we in a recession? Is our energy need not a good source of economic growth? It is tough for me to say this as I apply to jobs at nuclear power plants. My mind is set on working in the energy sector. The question is should american's… Continue

What Kraft is doing to Help!

LOWVILLE, N.Y. -- Kraft is the latest company to turn part of its waste stream into a bigger bottom line. Two cheese plants in New York will turn used whey into energy in a move that will supplant a third of the facilities' natural gas purchases. The company also will avoid the expense of hauling the waste away. Digesters at the company's Lowville plant, which makes Philadelphia cream cheese, and a string cheese plant in Campbell turn the whey into biogas. It's part of the company's broader effo… Continue

Why we should go renewable!!

I just was reading the new legislation called the American Energy Act. It gave me an epiphany. The more sun and wind we use, the more coal we could send to the refinery instead of the power plant. Even though I already knew it, we can make COAL into Gasoline. That is a great way to keep energy domestic, if we could make 2-10% of our gas from coal, we would be in good shape. Using coal with biomass would likely make a good mix for syngas generation. This means we can water down our coal w… Continue
