Apollo 20

It is amazing what a person can find floating around the web.

I realize there are alot of bogus sites with twisted ideas, but once in awhile a little known subject surfaces with some very plausible information...






(click Apollo 20 crest above for details)

Is it really possible that the entire world has been kept in the dark about information on such a huge scale?

ZENN car - (Zero Emission No Noise)

I have heard of two electric car manufacturing companies in Canada. One of them is the ZENN corp.

It is interesting how the Canadian Government won't even support a new growth industry within it's own borders.

CBC made a small news clip in October 2007:

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2007/10/26/electriccar-zenn.html

This makes a person wonder who is pulling the strings... WHO or WHAT is the puppet master? What could possibly be so threatening about a tiny non-polluting low speed all season vehicle that does not take gas? HMMMM... I wonder? Speaking of automakers with bigger and better models and oil companies with oil at $90US/barrel and climbing...

...just food for thought...

You better watch "WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR".

Go now... hurry...

An Inconvenient Truth

911

How disturbing could the truth be?

What is the truth?

What kind of proof does a person require before a theory becomes absolute public confirmation?

How far would an individual have to go to manipulate public perception to hide the truth?

What kind of organization would have the ability to hide the true nature of an event on an international scale?

Who controls the media?



Ask yourself these questions as you watch this video. Bump it up to FULL SCREEN. Make youself some popcorn. Get a good coffee or tea and sit back and decide for yourselves what is and isn't possible in this day and age of technology.

NOTE: if the video does not load or is no longer available, please click the following link:

Look for an image with an old TV in the center of the screen. The video is about 90 min in duration.

Refuse Resist Say No

I am not a big fan of rap... but this video touched me...

POWERFUL!

...these images I have seen before...

...such sadness...

I invite you to watch it...




peace to all of you, my brothers and sisters...

blessed be!!

Anything Into Oil

So, if at first I sounded completely anti-petrolium, this little tidbit should really make you wonder:

http://discover.com/issues/apr-06/features/anything-oil/?page=1

Don't get me wrong! It's not that I think oil is evil... I just think we really have to rethink our long-term use of resources and their direct influence on our tiny little Earth environment.

There is a place for oil... but what kind of oil? Deep-based petrolium is a shame to be wasting. This resource is non-renewable and extremely costly in the long-run to extract and use. How about letting it sit where it is and regulate it's use... why? This type of oil has too many applications to be simply burning it; plastic and chemical development should have first dibs on these limited reserves.

What we should be doing is converting our "garbage" into fuel, things such as:

• raw sewage
• automobile shredder residue
• pcb's
• mad cow infected livestock.

*These waste products are a toxic mess...

Just imagine a world powered by renewable resources including our prescious garbage and carbon waste streams.

Imagine electric vehicles and converted light oil from waste to fuel the rest... WOW, what a world that would be.

I hope my grandchildren get to experience this kind of world wide change....

...this paradigm shift of the energy industry!


*note: we can all dream, can't we?!?

Alternative Energy

It is interesting to see exactly how addicted our society is to fosil fuels.

It is one thing to be efficient and reduce our use of resources, but it is another thing entirely to suggest alternatives for our current dilemmas.

Here are some alternatives:

• biomass
• fuel cells
• nuclear
• wind
• tidal
• solar

I realize this is just a quicklist of some technologies available. Each different technology comes with its own specific pros and cons... If you are interested in more information, go to:

Some of these ideas might just blow your mind...

WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR?

Out of curiosity I rented this flic to see what it was really about. I was in for a slight shock...

I knew that electric vehicles were a reality, but I never really understood how close to launching large scale production the not-so-big 3 auto manufacturers had come.

I am stunned that the automotive industry did not embrace this achievement throughout the world. We really are addicted to fosil fuels. I think we are even more addicted to big vehicles in North America. This only compounds the coming problem we are about to face...

15 years ago I owned a car that did about 50 mpg... my Ford Festiva!

5 years ago I owned a car that did about 60 mpg... my little green GEO!

Now it is nearly impossible to find anything nearly as economical. WHY? I think this movie offers a good suggestion thread... don't just take my word or opinion for it - decide for yourselves and watch this movie when you have the chance.

I can no longer take any car-selling hype seriously. I don't want to be sold what car manufacturers want to sell the public. I don't want a big car. I don't want a gas powered car. I don't need an insulated living room on wheels to get me to the store. I don't want an SUV.

Here in the north, people think that this electric technology would be useless. I DISAGREE!

The cold of winter does pose a problem, but it can easily be overcome:

Cold weakens batteries therefore they have to be kept in an insulated heated battery storage compartment. When batteries charge, they heat-up. If the heat from the charging process is not sufficient enough, the storage compartment can be augmented with heat tape strips, similar to what is used to keep pipes from freezing in winter.

If lithium batteries are too sensitive in the cold, may I suggest using the newer high-capacity lead acid batteries? These batteries look like a 6-pack of cans in a single case and are about 1/2 the size of a standard car battery. They would be a good midpoint between the low-end lead acid batteries and the high-end lithium batteries.

The heating system in a vehicle could be a dual system. By using a ceramic heating coil in the environmental controls, an electric vehicle could heat the incoming airflow without using the heat from an non-existant internal combustion engine. The only problem with an electric heater is decreased driving range, depending upon how much charge the heating system shunts from main battery storage. For colder weather operation a secondary heating system could be optional. A seperate propane or alcohol heating system could be easily made available; remember, this is not new technology to the transportation industry (locomotives, trucks, and other insulated transports).

For anyone who has seen the Apollo display at Cape Canaveral there is no doubt that electric vehicles can be easily produced and fueled. HELL, if NASA could send 3 men to the Moon in those tiny tin cans we call capsules two generations ago, we should have no problem sending an electric car down the road in mid January in Northern Canada. What's a little snow to a well INSULATED vehicle. (Did I mention insulating the vehicles against the elements?)

So, with the correct combination of battery type, storage design, environmental control systems (heat) and vehicle insulation, electric vehicles could work quite well in an extreme environment...

BUT the question is: Can we figure this out and produce it before fuel reaches $3 per Litre, never mind $3 per gallon?

...only time will tell...

What a Co-incidence?

It is interesting how people take for granted the connections we experience as individuals each and every day of our lives.



Some of us interpret these chance items as co-incidences.

Life is not about chance or luck or winning the lottery...

Things never happen completely "by accident"...






...BUT then what else is there?

it's TIME to EXPLORE the POSSIBILITIES!
