My apologies for a late post this week. I was accumulating "too much information" before I was satisfied I had "enough" to say. I finally realized that I usually say more than a mouthful with every post, so I am trying to "feed you" in smaller, bite-sized bits (and bytes).
Black Mark for Congress
When they talk about, “The buck stops here,” I sometimes wish “they” (whoever they are) were talking about my bank balance, but frankly, I haven’t been hit as hard by the economic

Supercritical Water + Biomass = Oil, True Grit, The Price of Fuel
Super Critical
If it weren’t for the fact that my family already has a motto (“There’s no such thing as a ‘bad’ cookie.”) the heading above could have qualified as the guiding dictum in our house, which is my excuse for being a neurotic as I am. Other than that, however, “Super critical” is a technical, even “scientific” term for a substance that has undergone sufficient physical change (in terms of thermal energy)(aka “heat”) that its temperature would normally have

NM Senator Udall, Pickens Plan, Global Warming, Marshall Plan
Joyful Event
I would like to announce the tentative adoption of a new, personal, Senator. I don’t like the ones my neighbors keep electing, so I’m picking one of my own. I’m sorry it isn’t Congressman Barney Frank. I am awfully fond of this very smart man. Nor, unfortunately, is it Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Congresswoman from Florida’s 20th District, in part, of course, because she, like Mr. Frank, is not yet a Senator, but give her time. She is still young and a “real

I told Shell, Biofuel Tax Credits Restored & Retroactive, Greening Africa w/Facebook
While Visiting Scientific American
While on the SciAm website, I saw and answered a survey placed there by Shell Oil (aka Royal Dutch Shell) asking for "votes" on best methods to meet the energy crisis (though they didn't actually call it that), [part of] the exact question was, "What should the government do "
To see my answer you can go to their comments section where I did in fact give this reply, or you can skip the trip and read it below.

Rising Cost of Gas, African Air, Obama White House Stumbles
My Thoughts On Rising Gas Prices
California has done a very sensible thing in raising taxes on gasoline USERS since they are the ones who use the transportation infrastructure that state expenditures must maintain with the revenues they collect. Indeed, I think the nation needs to stop subsidizing oil company profits by taxing the cost of maintaining that transportation infrastructure of roads and bridges and traffic signs and ... well, you get the idea.

Republican House Spurs Green Future Optimism, Burlesque, Will Thurmond
Republican House Spurs Green Future Optimism
Can it be true? Did I really says that? Can having Republicans in control of the House actually be good for the country and for “green tech” and “green energy” in particular? Well, we’ll have to wait and see, but I’m not the only one who remains optimistic until evidence proves otherwise. You see, a month ago an article entitled, Why The Election Could Be Good for Green Tech appeared in GreenTechMedia.com, written by Michael Kanel
