America's Energy future

Short and sweet.  If you are an American that pays attention to gasoline prices, THIS POST IS FOR US!

Natural gas can make a great transportation fuel.  Actually Natural Gas burns cleaner than gasoline. 
Energy is understood as BTU's.  1 gallon of gasoline has 250,000 BTU's of energy in  an easily transportable form as the gasoline our vehicles use.

To get this amount of energy from natural gas the gas needs to be compressed or liquified. 

Since natural gas is delivered nationwide at about 5 PSI it would have to be compressed to 5000 PSI in order to be delivered to your car where it is safely stored at 3000 PSI. 

Here is the catch.  A compressor used to bring 5 PSI Ng to 5000 PSI Ng cost about  $350,000.

For 1 fast fill pump station.  This is why we still rely on oil from foreign governments who DO NOT LIKE THE USA! 

Currently we have a lot of things going on.  If you love our Republic like I do then you can begin to feel the gravity of this situation.  For our security the USA has to become energy independant.  Using Natural Gas (Ng) as a bridge fuel between now and when Hydrogen becomes the transportation fuel of choice.  Hydrogen is technically and energy carrier not an energy source.  Hydrogen Cells therefore use Hydrogen to carry electricity that is then used to power our cars. 

In the mean time I still see 100's of cars daily being driven by 1 person and no passengers.  My feelings are if everyone would car pool and use public transportation  during their work week, they could all have fancy cars and eat at fancy restuarants with their familie on days off saving 100's of dollars a month.  A reducing our dependance on foreign oil.

Looking good naked, nutrients.

This is the shortened version.  For more detail explore www.gatwayministries.blogspot.com
Nutrients are proteins, fats, carbohydrates, alcohols, vitamins, minerals.  Each is important life on Earth. 
Our bodies are thermochemical generators.  We were created to use captured solar energies in the form of food. 

All of this food has to be digested.  Too many calories not enough energy expended equals fat people.  On the other side not enough calories leads to slower metabolisms and fat people. 

Then their are many humans that do not even have adequate nutrition.  This leads to so many more bad things.  The next time you go to a buffet, put less food on your plate to minimize waste.  After all you can get more food. 

Part of this series of articles is to help people work better with themselves.  Too fat, too thin, poor self esteem, unexpressed emotional stress.  Working with the foods we eat and the activities we pursue can only help us be better people.

Carbon Watts?

carbon credits

What are carbon credits you ask?  Glad I can be of some help.  I am writing this in a not to intell,er, i mean smart way;)

Lets say you own an industrial plant.  This particular industrial plant has a big smoke stack.  The process you are using creates smoke , (green house gasses).  It would cost you a Gazillion dollars to stop emitting all of this smoke.  You don't have that much money under your mattress.  So what you do is buy "carbon credits".  Currently I think "carbon Credits" are selling for about $16.00.  This means you pay $16.00 to someone to be allowed to belch out 1 metric ton of carbon (green house gases).  This makes the regulatory authorities happy.  This way you can still run your factory.  Since gasses do not weigh a lot, this would be a lot of carbon.

Here is my question.  where does the money go?  Does someone take your $16 and plant some trees that can also offset your carbon emissions.

On Earth there are two very popular places that suck up your carbon.  The first is forest.  The problem is that in the good ole US of A 78% of our forest are gone.  As for the rest of the world they cut down trees to make money.  This means your carbon is absorbed by the Oceans.  Thats right the oceans are a huge carbon sink.  The problem with all of those trees being gone, our Oceans absorb too musch carbon.  So much carbon in fact that when mixed with other elements this carbon becomse NASTY,NASTY carbonic acid.  This is why man of our planets reefs are bleached white.   This is also why many marine animals can no longer make the shells they need out of calcium they absorb from the waters.

Hers is what you can do.  Look at your yard.  Plant some trees.

What is Concept E-3

Concept E-3 is a growing environmental movement.  A community of individuals from all walks of life.  We are scientist and engineers, we are students and nature lovers, some of us are moms and dads.  All of us want fresh air to breathe and clean water to drink.  Concept E-3 is made up of people who are willing to do what it takes to solve our planets environmental problems.  This blog is the first point of contact. 

The idea of Concept E-3 was born out of a conversation I had many years ago in Oceanside
California.  I was speaking with a fellow Marine that was also a student of Marine biology.  We did say over 2/3f our planet is covered in water.  The Oceans would be a great place to live in.
Neither of thought that "Jules Verne's " idea of a transparent dome would be reasonable.  Unless the dome was built first and then the water was displaced by air.  Then there is the matter of depth and pressure.  I suggested what would probably work is a concrete hub and spoke assembly that people could live in.  Then I started thinking what about our planets surface?  In 1982 I made the decision to become an environmental engineer.  From 1987-1992 I applied myself to learning what I can through Columbus State College Continuing Education and other programs.  I walked a way with a strong grasp of the principles of solid waste management and on site environmental restoration.
In 1997 I started PCR Inc. a non profit dedicated to environmental clean up and restoration.  I did accomplish a lot of things.  By 2002 I was unable to obtain needed monies to keep PCR up and running. 
Years later Concept E-3 is born.  Today my work involves growing this community on line and later in the real world. 

THE BALTIMORE PROJECT

The Baltimore Project is best described as, "An urban adventure in neighborhood clean-up and community revitalization.  Current targeted site are "Middle Branch" portion of the "Gwynn Falls trail.  Westport community, Upton Avenue near Druid Hills.  3 m0re sites are going to be chosen for some clean-up and revitalization eforts.

If you know of some other places with lots of trash on the ground, list them right here.

Where did the lake go?

When I was a child back in  the early 60's our fun thing to do was go to Red Bluff lake and the Monahans Sand Dunes.  Both of these places where in Texas.  I remember mm and dad would load up our camper.  Dad would hitch up our boat, The "Janet Lee". We would go to Red Bluff lake and spend the weekend having fun.  You could and we did fish, swim, water ski, and campout.  I remember dad bringin in todays catch and we would have fresh fish that night.  Sometimes other people would join us around the campfire.  There would be stories to share as well as soda for the kids and cold beer for the adults.  I would sometimes look up at the night skyes.  The stars went on forever.   Red Bluff lake is gone now and so are many others.

 What is left is signs that say NO SWIMMING, NO FISHING. NO CAMPING.  Many because of contamination.  When you choose to be a member of Concept E-3...Nature Restored,  Then you take a 'PROACTIVE STANCE.  Like myself and others YOU would be choosing to solve many problems.

I feel that now is a great time to get in the best shape of your life.  Who am I, My name is Steven Childs 'Ecosavatt' for Concept E-3.  I am also a 20 year veteran of fitness, nutrition, bodybuilding.
Vist the  above site for more.  "The Good News Press" is the blogs name.  Here I am going to share some information you can use to look, feel, and be your best.

In todays world it is even more important to be physically fit and to feel attractive.  Starting now I want you to hide your bathroom scale.  The mirror and your camera phone are going to be your new best buddies.
Being in shape does not mean just being skinny.  Being in shape means you look good and that your body performs well.  We will bring out the scales though for a little while.
Today lets focus on putting together your Body Odyssey Journal.

Buy a spiral notebook.  On the inside front cover place your name, your current pants size.
Write an affirmation like "I am looking and feeling better every week".

Take some pictures in a pair of gym shorts.  Your shots so a t-shirt is optional but for modesty's sake lets do your pictures of your self with a plain t-shirt.

Your first picture is forward facing relaxed.  If you have a spare tire and not a 6-pak
your second shot is relaxed side and show that belly.  Go ahead roll up the shirt.
Your last shot take off the T-shirt.  This will be a relaxed back shot. 

Now back to your journal.  For the rest of this month everything you eat and drink is to be recorded everyday.  If you fill ambitious get a calorie counter book too.  Just becoming aware of what you eat and drink is going to help a lot.
