Imagine what life would be like in the U.S. if we weren’t so dependent on foreign oil, or any oil for that matter. (The supply going to run out, after all.) There are existing alternatives such as biodiesel and ethanol that are renewable fuels.

Most autos in Brazil run on ethanol. Funny, we don’t hear much about that in the news, do we. Their government has a mandate requiring that their fuels contain 25% alcohol. They make their ethanol from corn, which they grow anew each season, and their autos, vans, trucks and other vehicles aren’t spewing toxins from oil into the environment day after day. That means they all breather easier than those living in the U.S.

To be effective, solar power systems don’t need to power an entire business community or even provide all of the power for a private residence. Solar energy systems are much more efficient at heating water than they are at producing power. Since standard hot water heaters can consume over a third of a house’s energy, replacing a gas-powered hot water heater with a solar powered heater can reduce a home’s energy bill considerably, as well as making the owners eligible for a tax cut in select states.

Hi, I was thinking about the future of technolgy on the way home
from Open Pantry and came to this conclusion. The future is in
video phone system that works on the internet over existing cable
system.

I know that ISDN (integrated services digital network) has been around for ten years. What this is trying to get phone companies to come together for a video phone system. It doesn’t work because they are holding out for a cable system that will come into place eventually.

Technically here’s why. Video channels have a wide bandwidth
and to sum it up it would require 218 bit access on the part of
the computer. Xp is at 32 bit access. It would have to double
3 times to 256 bit access before this can be commercially feasable. That would happen in ten years.

My short theory says that the cable which already carries
tv channels can be utilized to carry a two way video communication system much like the video phones and video conferencing systems already in existance today.

Ah, there’s the catch between the existing phone system and
developing a technically feasable but commercially not viable
national network system. I think it was introduced in 2005 and
I’ll bet it will happen in 5 to 10 years.

What do you think guys, it’s sort of like when I used to say
that solar powered cell phones will eventually happen.

I guess we’re still waiting and I havn’t seen grandma in a while.
