"Up on Housing Project Hill, it's either fortune or fame. You can pick one or the other, though neither are to be what they claim, And if you're looking to get silly, you better go back to from where you came, 'Cause the cops don't need you, and man, they expect the same." ----B. Dylan Kuya, Anarchism will only come about if individuals band together in mutual aid societies, not un-like softball or bowling leagues, literary salons, running clubs, co-housing arrangements, worker owned cooperatives, intentional communities, democratic independent industrial and trade unions, FNB, etc., that provide fundamental physical needs for all …

wolf, I heartily congratulate you on endorsing solar power. But there are other technologies besides nuclear that are more promising and much more sustainable than nuclear. Uranium is a fairly rare and limited resource. France is already finding it difficult to find fuel for their reactors. I suggest you research geothermal, wind and tidal sources. For fun, you could look up ZPE. Energy substitution is just one leg of the solution. Conservation and sequestration are equally important. "Coal mine fires alone in China produce more CO2 emissions that all of the cars in the uS. . ." Are you kidding me! …

Here's a little math problem for you, Wolfgang: Upper limit of estimates of amount of coal burning in Chinese mine fires: ~200M tonnes/yr. Amount of coal burned in US per year: ~1B tonnes/yr. Percent of US carbon emissions/yr. from burning coal: ~28 Percent of US carbon emissions/yr. from petroleum fuels: ~44 Percent of petroleum fuels consumed by cars and light trucks: ~67 What is the maximum likely ratio between Chinese coal fire emissions/US automobile emissions? (Hint: US cars and light trucks contribute ~15% of all global emissions of CO2 from fossil fuels and ~50% of global contributions from cars and light …

Nat, For 2005: "Carbon dioxide emissions from the transportation sector, at 1,958.6 MMT, accounted for 33 percent of total U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in 2005. Almost all (98 percent) of transportation sector emissions result from the consumption of petroleum products: motor gasoline, at 60 percent of total transportation sector emissions; middle distillates (diesel fuel) at 22 percent; jet fuel at 12 percent of the total; and residual oil (i.e., heavy fuel oil, largely for maritime use) at 3.3 percent of the sector’s total emissions. Motor gasoline is used primarily in automobiles and light trucks, and middle distillates are used in …
