I ask my big brother the following question, “Yo James, what’s the plan with space travel? Let me know. -Joe”
James replies,
I havent written the space stuff yet. I got sidetracked in renewable energy calculations. I’m trying to figure out what to do after aviating India, and I think I’ve figured it out. Build hydro power stations and wind turbines! A 1.5 MegaWatt wind turbine (one of those giant windmills you see in the pass there in Palm Springs) costs around 2.5 million dollars to install. But then it’s nearly maintenance free for the 20 years of life it’s got. And it will produce around 15 million dollars worth of power. That’s a return of investment of 12.5 million! Sounds like a pretty good business to me. But you only make decent money on the big wind turbines. The small, household ones don’t pay for themselves until about 6 or 7 years.
And micro-hydro is another thing that pays back even more. I read an article about some guys up in Canada that installed 2000 feet of pipe up the side of a hill to catch the water in a brook. The brook only ran in the winters but the project paid for itself in 3 years. So I’m researching that too.
I’ve been taking to heart what was said in the CRASH COURSE about how oil energy has resulted in the biggest boom mankind has ever seen. Right now electricity costs about $.15 per kiloWattHour (that’s running something 1000 watts for an hour such as a small air conditioner…that’s a kWh). Check your electric bill and see what you’re paying. If you ran your shop on solar panels then, after 20 years you’d have paid an average of 9 cents per kWh. If you ran it off a small wind turbine it would be about the same. If you ran it off a giant wind turbine you’d pay about 4 cents per kWh! And if you had 500 feet of waterfall to plug a 6 inch pipe into and run a microHydro generator then you’d pay about 3-5 cents per kWh (over a 20 year lifetime).
The point is that if you could supply everyone in the world with electricity at 4 cents a kWh we would give this planet 3 times the energy it has now! And I was thinking that you could replace money with an energy credit which would be worth 1 kWh of power. Because there’s not enough gold and silver in the world to back money with. LRH says money is energy. So why not just make money worth kilowatthours! I think it’s brilliant if I do say so myself.
Oh yeah, and solar… since the sun is out only a few hours of the day they don’t produce much. But it’s better than a coal fired power plant at least. Of the 3 renewables (wind, hydro and solar) it’s the least good. The best is hydro. It runs 24/7. And nobody is really doing micro-hydro. It could be a really good business.
And that’s it,
James
My jaw drops, “HOLY CRAP, THAT IS GENIUS. MONEY= ENERGY. OF COURSE!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Technological savvy could turn 600 million tons of turkey guts and other waste into 4 billion barrels of light Texas crude each year. By Brad Lemley, Photography by Tony Law
Gory refuse, from a Butterball Turkey plant in Carthage, Missouri, will no longer go to waste. Each day 200 tons of turkey offal will be carted to the first industrial-scale thermal depolymerization plant, recently completed in an adjacent lot, and be transformed into various useful products, including 600 barrels of light oil.
In an industrial park in Philadelphia sits a new machine that can change almost anything into oil.
Really.
“This is a solution to three of the biggest problems facing mankind,” says Brian Appel, chairman and CEO of Changing World Technologies, the company that built this pilot plant and has just completed its first industrial-size installation in Missouri. “This process can deal with the world’s waste. It can supplement our dwindling supplies of oil. And it can slow down global warming.”
Pardon me, says a reporter, shivering in the frigid dawn, but that sounds too good to be true.
“Everybody says that,” says Appel. He is a tall, affable entrepreneur who has assembled a team of scientists, former government leaders, and deep-pocketed investors to develop and sell what he calls the thermal depolymerization process, or TDP. The process is designed to handle almost any waste product imaginable, including turkey offal, tires, plastic bottles, harbor-dredged muck, old computers, municipal garbage, cornstalks, paper-pulp effluent, infectious medical waste, oil-refinery residues, even biological weapons such as anthrax spores. According to Appel, waste goes in one end and comes out the other as three products, all valuable and environmentally benign: high-quality oil, clean-burning gas, and purified minerals that can be used as fuels, fertilizers, or specialty chemicals for manufacturing.

Yes. I do have an Uncle Shirley. Not only that, I never met anyone else with the name Shirley until I was eleven years old.
When I met the new Shirley, I asked her if that was her real name. When she told me it was, I broke out laughing at the fact she had a man’s name! Then I also felt a little guilty for making fun of someone over something they had no choice in, as well as pitying her a little. After all, she had name everyone would find hilarious. The poor thing obviously got laughed at a lot.
We were in class when I met her, so I’m sure you can guess how the other shoe dropped.
Yep. I was informed by the teacher that Shirley was not a man’s name at all, but a fairly common name for a woman. No one believed I could possibly have an uncle named Shirley. When I convinced them I did, they thought that was hilarious!
Arrgh. The humiliation.
Shirley Wilson Young was not a man to be laughed at. He was a connoisseur of gourmet candies. He had an enormous coin collection. He was the greatest barbecuer of elk on Planet Earth. And he had a professional garage in his back yard as big as his house.
A couple of years later, he taught me to appreciate satire, using the example of Walt Kelly’s comic strip, “Pogo.”
Alright. I hear you thinking, “When will he stop bragging about his uncle and get to the point?”
You are right. While he plays a part in the subject, this is not an essay on my uncle. This about a non-polluting fuel.
The following post consists of 23 short videos that are highly understandable, almost genius in the presentation. The information is incontrovertible data about ENERGY, ECONOMY, ENVIRONMENT, and how they tie in together. This video does not leave one feeling apathetic about the situation. If you start watching the videos, i recommend that you just keep going untill the end.
I am very interested in having some educated conversations on this topic.
Here is the definition of crash course: Noun 1. Crash course – a rapid and intense course of training or research (usually undertaken in an emergency)
The following are all the videos all on a single page. It is approximately 3hrs combined. This link goes to Chris Martenson’s website where you will be watching the information from the source: www.chrismartenson.com perhaps you can visit him and share some love for the masterpiece he created.
And i will say this again, I am very interested in having some educated conversations on this topic.
