A Japanese venture company, Genepax, has unveiled a car on that runs on water. All it requires is a litre of water. In fact, any kind of water to be exact, whether its river, rain, sea water, or even Japanese tea. Its an electric powered car that runs solely on hydrogen dioxide.
"The main characteristic of this car is that no external input is needed. The car will continue to run as long as you have a bottle of water inside for you to add from time to time," said Kiyoshi Hirasawa, Chief Executive Officer of Genepax, after he proudly announced the company's invention.
Once water is poured into the water tank at the back of the car, the newly invented energy generator takes out the hydrogen from the water, releases electrons and finally generates electrical power.
"We highly recommend our system since it does not require you to build up an infrastructure to recharge your batteries, which is usually the case for most electric cars," said Hirasawa, who is hoping to advertise the car in time for the upcoming G8 Summit in Hokkaido, Japan.

I do not support Sen. Clinton. I also do not support Sen. Obama. There are aspects I lean towards from each of them I also could lean towards McCain in some of his views but as well do not support him. To support Obama I need him to understand the importance of maintaining troops in Iraq for reasons of stability of that country until we are energy independent. From Clinton I need to know the same thing. I want to know how each of them are going to address achieving energy independence and that includes covering all of the aspects of achieving it meainging not negatively affecting other areas of the economy. I want to know exactly what all three intend to do to fix the economy and to reverse extreme special interest control of our government. There are other smaller issues I want to see from each of them. Even if Obama-Clinton becomes a reality I want to hear specifics not general items of change. I even want to hear it from McCain. Then I will decide. I will register Independent for the November election so I am not bound to any party. On a final note, once i make up my mind I will not make it public as I am bound not to endorse any candidate as I am president of a non-profit org.
Her next best move is to sit on her supporters, and encourge them to stay with her. Holding them for inclusion into the the running ticket or for a run at the white house independently. If she has confidence that no one could win a majority between 3 people running for the white house she should run individually for the presidency and seek to hold all candidates to less than a majority and let congress decide on who should be president and vice president from the candidates of president. Please read the constitution as to how the president is elected if no candidate is elected by majority from the popular vote. By the way the electorial college could not elect if no candidate wins a majority of electors thus congress would decide the election.
Dear People, First, I would like say congrats to Sen. Obama in achieving the delegates to achieve the nomination of the Democratic Party. I would like to take this time to speak of items I have said for a long time. I, like Sen. Obama, did not support this nation going to war in Iraq. I was disappointed that this nation choose to go to war under the premise of a need to irradicate Iraq's weapons of mass distruction. Continued in extended post Read More »
WE NEED GOOD TURN OUT'S IN EACH STATE IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY. ALL DEMOCRATIC PARTIES IN STATE ,TELL THE PEOPLE TO VOTE . NOVEMBER IS COMING SOON....
Ask any small business person around this part of Arizona if they believe we are in a depression and they will say yes.
The value of the dollar is in freefall, we create new jobs but most of them become second jobs for someone trying to survive, this gives a person a double count in the statistics, those who can't find jobs and run out of unemployment insurance are not counted, in other words the books are cook worse then the days of LBJ.
When we hear about the amount of the national debt no one tells you that a sizeable amount is to the Social Security Trust Fund. Then neocons say it is going bankrupt if so the nation must be bankrupt.

As Chair of your State Party, I will go before the Rules & Bylaws Committee of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Saturday to fight to preserve Florida's full and diverse representation in the presidential primary process.
Under the Rules, the DNC has the authority to slash the delegate voting power of states that hold unauthorized presidential primaries prior to February 5, 2008, essentially making their votes meaningless. Because the Republican-controlled state Legislature moved our state's primary to January 29, 2008, Florida Democrats may be subject to severe penalties.
On Saturday, we will make our case to the DNC. I'm going to fight to have Florida's votes counted, but in reality, I'm only one out of more than four million Florida Democrats. The DNC really needs to hear from people like you. Read More »
There is so much concentrated effort to divert attention of people away from real issues. I agree that the war in Iraq is something that needs to be addressed. However, how much wasted energy is being put into that effort? Time and time again, Democrates are trying to get a bill passed to end the war. It is what the majority of the people want, Right?
Maybe they are using the effort to add political edge for a future campaign! It appears that this is the direction this campaign season is focusing on. It is the hot topic of discussion in a lot of areas. Brough there by, the party not in power trying to gain control of power!
I will say this much, any attempt to legislate an end of the war in Iraq during the current administrations reign will only meet with defeat. Unless there is sufficent votes needed in congress to over turn a veto of the legislation, which will be done by Georgie or Dicky if Georgie is impeached, unless Dicky is also impeached. Then Pelosi would take great pleasure in signing the legislation.
So face it, we are pretty much stuck with the war until after the elections and a new president takes office. Then things may change. Until then any effort that does not have the needed votes to over turn a veto is a wasted effort (wasted energy). Effort that could be used in so many other ways to find solutions to other problems that face this nation. Of course there is also the impeachment process. Do you think that will get off the ground?

Would you care to? Lunar mining? Sounds like Buck Rodgers 21st century. Really are we going to shuttle mined fuels from the moon to earth? What would they be? Are we going to live on the mooon? That would be the most efficient use of that.
Solar satelites? Disconnected from earth like the moon would need to transport energy back to earth for its use here. Ok use lasers, now you have high energy lasers pointing at earth constantly and to what effect on things here?
PV its already known, large surface areas of PV arrays needed. Concentrated Solar gathering equipment is basically the same in area just using a different form of energy conversion. You only get so much energy per square meter from sun light, and you only get it during the day time. Read More »

I think I will call a little news letter about water related items "The Water Front" I think it fits as one of the issues we as American's should be concerned with is water.
I visited with congressman Todd Platts (R) PA 19th and spoke with him about my ideas of a National Water Bank system. Though I debated each hurdle he placed about the need of such a system he still insisted that it was a local, regional, state and private supplier concern. He acknowledged that the federal government has played parts in developing some water resources. He sited that there was no immediate market driven forces that indicated the need for such a system.

Traveling across CA HWY 152 Santa Nella Ca towards Salina area. Passing by San Luis Reservoir. It was alarming to see the extreme low level of the reservoir. From my understanding it is one of the reservoirs that feeds the San Jauquin valley. One of the most important areas in the us in regards to this nations fresh produce.
Indicitive of situations developing in Southern California, Southern Nevada, and Western Arizona. If this region suffers continued drought next year may be a very difficult time for this nation. First of all, imagine a situation like New Orleans, but in reverse. Not to much water, but too little and mass exedus cause by that situation. Is this nation prepared for that? Second, possible loss of food supplies, soaring prices for what is available. Suffering through high prices, is this nation prepared to face dramitic price hikes in food as well? Read More »

More details to follow, however this is initial concept which can grow and be modified as I receive input from others and develop the idea further myself, as this is a recent though and I am giving it to you all off the top of my head as the idea is forming.
Keep marriage as it is, and define it between a man and a woman. However add in a joint union which any two people may enter into. Where a joint union is similar to a corporation but limited in that it is only two people no more no less. This union gives you legal rights between each other and the assessts of the joint union are that of each member of the union. Tax identification purposes will have to be figured out. The assests of the joint union are passable to offspring of the members of the union as a corporation is passable to others after death of the founder of the corporation except in the case of "S" corp or sole propriatorship. Like corporations become entities to themsleves so should the union and certain legal rights are developed by a corporation so should it be by a joint union.
Joint unions would allow any two people to enter into a union of the kind, irregardless to the gender of the persons entering into the union. Joint unions should be confined in that if a person is already in one can they can not enter into another. I think it would be a good thing to disallow severance of the union as well. Where marriage is divorceable, this not only gives gays rights in unions but also gives straights a union that is unservable for those that feel that they would not wish to become divoriced from their partner at some point in the future. Also people that are already married may enter into a joint union with their current spouse however they could not enter into a joint union with any other person than their spouse with out first divoricing their current spouse.
Thoughts welcome as this is a new and developing idea and your thoughts may be included into its development.

To make a conventional Hydrogen Electric Generating Plant that can self sustain?
I'm running through the official highlights of the 2007 G8 Summit, and I ran across this gem of a quote from the official website:
"I have come here with a strong desire to work on a post-Kyoto agreement," the President said.
Bush work on a post-Kyoto agreement? The United States never ratified the Kyoto Protocol to begin with, thanks to this very same man, but he claims to have a strong desire to work on a post-Kyoto agreement? This President's primary environmental advisors are former chemical and oil industry executives, so I can only imagine what type of post-Kyoto agreement they would advocate.

Two points were stressed that had been stressed in Reinventing Government they were transparency in government and peoples direct participation in the process of government.We were not doing this in a partisan manner but were taking new approaches that invoved nonprofits, local governments and anyone who was interested and was willing to share ideas, strenghts, experiences and hope. My main effort was helping set up Reinventing Labs that involved local entities plus other Federal agencies.It worked so well ,now that I'm retired, I still am active in a number of efforts I had worked with.
All that I've heard and read over the past six years has indicated that our infrastructure in all areas is being neglected and badly eroded.Our legal, educational, transportation,medical you name it has lost ground and is going down the tubes. We are becoming a nation with an obscene distribution of wealth that you associate with the Third World.The only bright spots are places where local networks of citizens have worked at fixing the problems in the local infrastructure.
Water! Are we as a nation going to continue in separation of our water resources? I think we should keep them separate in a way. Each area, region or state should have its own water rights. However, a national water bank does not seek to remove, control or restrict water rights. It should only seek to assist in flood control measures in the development of the resources available in the national water bank. Read More »
I know some of you are mad at me. So I probably will not get a good response to this comment, however consider what is said, and consider it well.
Soda vs. fuel, there is no comparison. How can you compare something that you can do a day or a week or a month or a year or longer with out with something you use every day and can not do with out for very long, unless your going totally natural and on foot. Fuels are so vital to our every day life, from going to work, to running the household. We are tied to energy and with out it our lives are totally different. This is why energy independence is so vital for this nation to accomplish.
