Re: Saltwater fuel
Sun, July 29, 2007 - 4:46 PMWell, finally a cure for cancer that doesn't kill healthy cells... but saltwater fuel? Could be the end of the oceans as we know them... -

Sun, July 29, 2007 - 6:59 PMThat thought crossed my mind too.Some idiot would develop the technology for warfare . Add the seven seas to the list of WMD.(Bush probably still couldnt find "em!) -

Sun, July 29, 2007 - 7:47 PMOn the other hand, if everyone had a WMD, nobody would use them, or so the theory goes. In spite of the portability of WMDs, like atomic suitcase bombs, it STILL hasn't happened which is utterly amazing.

Re: Saltwater fuel
Mon, July 30, 2007 - 12:26 PMI thought about that too...then I thought that this technology (like lots of other amazing renewable energy technologies) might be bought by one of the big oil companies. Then will they claim they have rights to the oceans (considering they've got their hands all up in the government's cookie jar)? -

Re: Saltwater fuel
Mon, July 30, 2007 - 5:45 PMIf they did, it would be the modern day equivalent to the Huidson's Bay Company Charter, in which Prince Rupert declared all of Hudson's Bay and its rivers and tributaries English territory. He had no idea he was talking about all of North America.
The oil cmpanies would be pretty bold to lay claim to the world's oceans...they would encounter some pretty stiff resistance. Instead they could lay claim to the energy extracting technology. Either way, the oceans would probably recede faster and farther than ever before with this new exploitation, even if there are no toxic byproducts.
We are petroleum addicts simply because not even all the alternative energy sources combined can come close to matching the cheap abundance and efficiency of oil. Saltwater energy looks promising, but at what cost to the planet?

Re: Saltwater fuel
Sun, August 19, 2007 - 2:16 PMGood point. This technology might be good for coastal cities to implement, but not for the whole country to use. Just like solar energy is most efficient in areas with the most sunny days and wind energy is best in areas with frequent high winds. Different bioregions = different renewable fuels -

Re: Saltwater fuel
Sun, August 19, 2007 - 4:09 PMSolutions eventually become problems...wind farm can be quite noisy with all those propellers whirring. But we have to do something less destructive, so I guess it's a matter f choosing the lesser of two trade-offs. I like the idea of bio-regionally appropriate energy. Sounds subversively sensible.

Re: Saltwater fuel
Thu, September 13, 2007 - 11:55 PMIt has also been proven that you can get electricity from urine. Gross, but there is a renewable resource for you.
Also urine contains a lot of salt.
There are many cures for cancer to. Reishi Mushrooms for one. There are many types of cancer though. And many types of Reishi mushrooms. There are an abundance of solutions in the natural world provided we don't detroy them first. I think the main key for more advances is geting away from the Idea of killing the problem and evolving to start to think about healing the problem.
Peace & Blessings

Re: Saltwater fuel
Fri, September 14, 2007 - 8:49 AMA promising headline appeared in the local paper recently, declaring millions of dollars to be earmarked for energy extraction from sewage. Why not urine? Of all the things consumer culture throws out as garbage, it's heartening to see a lack of shyness to make use of bodily waste. It smacks of looking the problem in the eye.
I'm convinced there are cures for cancer, and that the association is a bloated fundraising red herring bent on aggrandizing interventionist medecine and megatechnology. The trick is finding the cure that works for oneself before time runs out. Now if they could only find some use for cigarette butts besides re-smoking them...
