    Stop Biofuel Lunacy: Effects on Global Food Crisis

    First of all, please excuse my oversimplification of the subject, and my slightly off-topic post. Your response prompted me to do a bit more research. Do you mean that cellulosic ethanol cannot compete with corn ethanol prices? While it is true that cellulosic ethanol is currently more costly...

    Stop Biofuel Lunacy: Effects on Global Food Crisis

    Wikipedia - Hemp: Industrial hemp has thousands of potential uses, from paper to textiles to biodegradable plastics to health food to fuel but it has not been the great commercial success that the enthusiast hoped for in countries where it is legal to harvest. It is one of the fastest growing...

    Stop Biofuel Lunacy: Effects on Global Food Crisis

    Biomass from industrial hemp cultivation can be used to create methanol, and far more than corn can per acre. The oil from hemp seeds can also bo used for biodiesel. (interestingly, the first diesel engine was ran on plant oils, more specifically hempseed oil) While providing energy needs...

    Bioaccumulation of toxins and fat storage

    Can the bioaccumulation of toxins with high lipophilicity within the body cause it to store more fat, maybe in order to dilute the toxins? I heard this from a somewhat questionable source a while ago, but it sounds plausible. I was reading about Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) but I...

    Innocent killer hippies convicted of murder?

    I wasnt looking for a debate over the feasibility of CO poisoning, mainly because I have no authority whatsoever in this case. I do appreciate the input from russ and kach, i needed another point of veiw. Even though I understand the futility of arguing for CO poisining, I am concerned...

    Innocent killer hippies convicted of murder?

    They weren't allowed any official Carboxy-Hemaglobin test. Although I don't know if it would be difficult to do an independent one. Both the house intake and furnace intake are located next to the furnace exhaust. here for video proof...

    Innocent killer hippies convicted of murder?

    Just so you all know... this is not the same case as the "killer hippies convicted of murder" thread sorry if the title was misleading It is just a good example of when children need protection from child protective services, and of the ignorance surrounding vegetarianism and veganism.

    Undergrad Moon's Escape Point: Beyond Earth's Gravity

    Thanks, that helps Is nasa.gov working for anybody? Any other site I visit works just fine

    Undergrad Moon's Escape Point: Beyond Earth's Gravity

    First I would use the inverse square law to detemine the distance from the Earth where gravity would accelerate a body at 1.622 m/s2 (sg of the moon) I would then subtract this distance from the average distance between the Earth and moon, and divide the result by two. I think this will give...

    Undergrad Moon's Escape Point: Beyond Earth's Gravity

    I read that the point where a body begins to fall towards the moon is nowhere near it should be, if the moon had the alleged one-sixth Earth gravity (0.1654 g). Apparently it should be in the 20,000 to 22,000 mile range (as in the older versions of Britannica), but after the apollo missions the...

    Undergrad Moon's Escape Point: Beyond Earth's Gravity

    What is the distance from the moon where the gravitational influence of the Earth is weaker than that of the moon? I haven't found it in any online encyclopedia and unfortunately Nasa.gov is not working for me. I would imagine it would be easy to find, but to my amazement I haven't even found a...

    Graduate The Mystery of Aurora Borealis: Electron Acceleration

    Wouldn't all of the dust particles have to be nearly uniform in size to be so partial to blue? What an extraordinary coincidence. Why doesn't the remaining light from which the blue was extracted create odd color effects, and why doesn't the spectrum produced by rainbows and prisms indicate a...

    The Mystery of Clouds: Defying Gravity with Brownian Motion

    Thank you, Schrödinger's Dog, for being so open-minded and tolerant of my.. um.. talk. Frankly you suprised me. I do realize the burden is on me, but I am sort of on my own since this isn't seen as a problem for the bulk of the scientific community. The info I find on the internet consists of...

    The Mystery of Clouds: Defying Gravity with Brownian Motion

    Clouds of meteoric dust 50 miles above the Earth(and other planets) also show no tendency to fall to the ground. Air at that altitude is 1/100,00th as dense as it is at sea level. Dont imagine there is nothing to investigate just because it is not being investigated. In a strictly...
