As an environmental and energy engineer with many years experience in the mining, aerospace, general industry and as a permit writer I took exception to your general comments about tar sand waste water and the comment about waste water forever stored in tailings ponds. The waste waters and toxics can be treated to very high standards. We can only hope the EPA and the States will remain diligent in their permitting and monitoring of these important industrial activities.

Thanks for coming on The Green Revolution Show this coming Wednesday, it will be fun. Hope you have invited all your friends around the country and all of the WA Army to join us.
Really appreciate your help.

Thanks again,

Would like you to join us as a speaker on The Green Revolution Show on 12/16/09, 11 am pacific if you are available. Please call; 760-961-1312 or email; jwnobles1@verizon.net to talk about the show. We recently did a show with the great Ohio Group, and Congressman Tim Ryan. This past Wednesday we did a salute to California Cosponsors of HR 1835. Both shows went very well, and I would like to follow the same format for awhile. As always, time is of the essence. Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

John

Nope, no expert here. :-) Moving along just like everyone else. Only advantage or disadvantage lol!, is that I have to deal with it on a daily basis!

I look forward networking with you in this terrific GO GREEN opportunity.

At 9:12am on October 23, 2009, Anachronism said…: Hi Robert Schultz: Anachronism to you. For the last 25 years I have created and installed Passive Solar Heating in Five of my Mini-Storage project and the one built in Vancouver Washington has a totally Passive Solar Cooling system. My Vancouver project building size is 145' long x 74' wide and 21' high inside with 220 rooms. The system has been in operation for 20 years and for a cost of $1.00 to $2.00 per day maintains an average interior temp of 73 degrees. In fact the system produces enough heating and cooling that it could heat/cool 12-2400 square foot homes for $2.00 per day. My first Solar Heating system installed in 1983 in Burlington cost less then $100.00 and furnishes all the heat need for a building 95' long by 55' wide and 27' tall. The average cost for the required gas fired boiler system averages $1.25 per day in the winter. Curious? I show these projects on my Anachronism site and listed under photos (10) on the picture site. My recent project is designed to function in Arizona and our building will be 252' long 94' wide and two-stories tall. To COOL this project is accomplished by placing a 10,000 gallon tank 12' under ground and circulation the contained water thru ten radiators with fans to cool our building.
The heating system will be my old standby, ATTIC SOLAR heating. Our projected heating and cooling cost approach $100 per month. The building size is the same as 24-2,400 SQ. FT. homes. In other words, next to nothing for heating and cooling, BUT we will receive a 100% increase in cash flow for the project and NO MONTHLY NATURAL GAS COSTS TO HEAT OR COOL our project. Sincerely, Anachronism.

The trick is not the clean, green, cheap production of renewable energy, rather how to either bring it to market, and/or set up a market or industry around it. In the northern realm, there may be less biomass energy, than the south, but in the north more collateral other venues of RE. Be prepared to fight those with entrenched interests. A classical case is a suit against rain water collection system companies. THere's some law on the book that the water shed rights go to whomever. If you impede the watershed from collecting water, you have a position opposite those who have been granted water rights! sannerwind@gmail.com

At 6:33pm on October 13, 2009, Dee Miller said…: We have been trying to contact W2Energy in Canada. The last time we spoke with them they were headed to Florida for some kind of industry show - we've seen a few press releases about them, but no one is calling us back and there are no new postings on their website. I think one of my group talked to Daryll, but he seemed rather trippy, so we called the company in Canada. They were supposed to get back to us a month ago now. I hope we haven't heard from them because they are busy installing their great technology and learning everything they need to know to do a good job for us.

At 3:58pm on October 8, 2009, Dee Miller said…: Who are you, Robert Schultz? Who do you work for - is it with a plasma assisted gasification technology firm? We are looking for someone who would want to help us investigate the feasibility of outfitting our waste to energy needs with their equipment.

At 2:47pm on October 8, 2009, Dee Miller said…: Who is Darryl Dickson? Are you, Robert, an employee of a company that uses and/or sells plasma gasification technology? I am looking for reliability and longevity information regarding this technology. Don't know where to go to find it. Would appreciate any information you would be willing to share. Thank you.

At 10:59pm on October 7, 2009, Jay Rosenberg said…: We are negotiating for a hi efficiency methane/diesel biomass/ biofuel RET GENSET in Latin America, where as few as 30 Dairy cow, would make the farm energy self sufficient, and much more profitable. The problem is - not the physics, but the politics. You know why the Indians and Chinese have over $1 Trillion of our money? Because, we refuse to manufacture, get our nails dirty, become atty's etc. AND we accept outrageous one sided deals. Sannerwind@gmail.com

At 4:17pm on September 24, 2009, Robert Schultz said…: Q: Is natural gas a renewable resource?

A: Not from its original source as fossil fuel. Much of the natural gas we are burning now formed in deposits buried during the Devonian period, 300 million years ago. It is possible natural gas could form in as little as 50 million years. We don't consider that renewable, in the sense that it is somewhat beyond the typical human life span. Our species has not yet actually existed for a single million years.

None of the fossil fuels are considered to be renewable in that sense.

But, since natural gas is primarily methane, and methane is readily available and obtainable from renewable sources other than gas wells drilled into conventional underground reservoirs, it can be considered renewable.

Methane can be derived from organic matter undergoing decomposition. For example in many parts of India, methane is generated through decomposition of both human and livestock feces, gathered and used as cooking gas. This technology has been in use there for centuries. Methane can be recovered from organic matter decomposing in land fills and through processing of animal waste.

In fact it has been recently established that the belching of millions of cattle worldwide is actually a measurable contribution of methane into the atmosphere. Free methane in the atmosphere is considered a greenhouse gas.
