It is a great gig, if you can get it. <br><br>Maybe I will start my own "carbon trading" companies, sell shares of "carbon credits' which I will offset by switching all my planes to electric. Most of the "benefits" are on the surface anyway, since CO2 release is bound to occur in one form or another from all activity (eg power plants to supply my charger with energy). Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when George told his coworkers he made a donation in their name to the fictional "Human Fund" as their Christmas present. Maybe I should call my carbon trading company "The Human Fund". lol<br>
<br>As a civilian engineer for the nuclear navy, I can't understand all the resistance against nuclear energy. That is as "carbon friendly" as it gets. It is as "carbon negative" as is possible (assuming carbon emissions are considered to be in the "positive" direction) because of E(energy) = MC^2, i.e. an enormous amount of energy derived from a small amount of matter.<br>
<br>Sorry, now back to your regular "on-topic" topic. Maybe we could all pay Mike Hester to build more planes, because the
balsa wood sequesters all this CO2 (growing plants LOVE/require CO2)...<br><br>Brett<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Mar 29, 2008 at 5:39 PM, Matthew Frederick <<a href="mailto:mjfrederick@cox.net">mjfrederick@cox.net</a>> wrote:<br>
