The advance is based on a barium-titanate insulator claimed to increase the specific energy of the unit far beyond that achievable with today’s ultracapacitor technology. It is claimed that this new advance allows for a specific energy of about 280 watts per kilogram -- more than double that of the most advanced lithium-ion technology and a whopping ten times that of lead-acid batteries. This could translate into an electric vehicle capable of traveling up to 500 miles on a five minute charge, compared with current battery technology which offers an average 50-100 mile range on an overnight charge. As if that weren’t enough, the company claims they will be able to mass-produce the units at a fraction the cost of traditional batteries." ... "It's a paradigm shift," said Ian Clifford of ZENN Motor Co., an early investor and exclusive rights-holder for use of the technology in electric cars. "The Achilles' heel to the electric car industry has been energy storage. By all rights, this would make internal combustion engines unnecessary." ..."EEStor plans to roll out the first production units later this year, and Zenn hopes to have cars featuring EESU technology on the road by Fall 2009." www.deccanherald.com/Content/Dec152007/national2007121541356.asp?section=updatenews www.climatecrisis.net/ Purchase local food – less C02 emissions: www.foodroutes.org/localfood/index.jsp?map=1&lat=33.886&lon=-117.895&scale=1&ty=&nm=raw%20almonds&zip=92831 (Trucks = solar hybrid faster!)

Here is a copy of a letter I wrote to Michael Moore (of “Sicko”, “Farenheit 9/11”, “Bowling for Columbine“ fame): 7/10/07 12:47 p.m. from Fullerton, CA Hi Michael - I have been flabbergasted with the health industry and the scientific community as well as the politicians for some time. Thank you for standing up for sanity in the midst of the "10,000 things". Would you please tackle global warming? I think it could feasibly be placed first on your list of things to do. It's timely, it would increase your popularity, it would sell. People are in denial, fear, apathy and unconsciousness about what it will take to clear up the mess we've made. We desperately need a spokesperson who will deliver the actual facts -- that we must unravel the "compulsive making" fed by greed and competition which results in fatal pollution, instead switching to an altogether different track/lifestyle, grassroots global hegemony and productive cooperation with fair distribution of ecologically viable goods and services within the next ten years to survive. We could learn from the Vedanta tradition and the vegans - they know about organic farming, green investments and businesses, using hemp for paper, live foods, yoga and holistic health practices. (For instance, salt is killing people. So is mercury amalgam in our teeth and vaccines, and PCPs, dioxins, ethyloxylated alcohols, polysorbates, laureths, dioxanes, methylisothiazoline, and other poisons. The health industry via the FDA admits these into our manufacturing chain by claiming there are "safe" levels permissible. That's a "safe level of rat's ass" in the mix. Why does the health industry permit this? Why do the politicians permit them to do it? Because when people are sick they need help, and the problem solvers get paid obscene amounts for that. Sick people think they need doctors and pharmaceuticals. They or their children resort to criminal behaviors, so police, Big Pharma, psychiatrists and attorneys get paid. Politicians have unlimited problems to solve as a result, and boy, do they get paid for that. And reporters get to tell all the gruesome stories. It's the "built-in victim" component of our unworkably complex educational and economic system, where those initiated reap the rewards and the rest suffer. And it has to stop. The planet is getting too sick to sustain us. Now. Really. Polar bears are eating their young. The whales are starving. The birds are dying from West Nile virus. The bees are evaporating. The ocean's fish are dying. There are wierd storms afoot. ) Enlightened knowledge applied globally could transform the future into something worth living for. It's time someone courageous stepped forward and clearly stated once again that the planet simply has too many people on it. We have to do something about compulsive birth, especially in places where life is hard to sustain and the earth needs to rest. (Like applying the Universal Bill of Human Rights to protect people with some kind of Social Security so they won't have to give birth to a large family in hopes a few kids will survive to care for them in old age.) I like kids, too, but there are too many kids being brutalized, neglected and enslaved. Infants who don't even have milk teeth yet are being raped in Africa because there are males there who believe they can cure themselves of AIDS by having sex with a virgin. Their divine nature is being distorted and that doesn't really serve them, or us, or the planet. "Does consciousness ring a bell...Consciousness?" Also, if you have friends who will invest the time and money, we sure could use an affordable solar energy conversion kit for our cars. Toyota Prius has released the solar hybrid which is a helpful stopgap measure, but it doesn't help us with the old ones. Someone would make a great deal of money that could be put to good use with such a kit. We need an alternative fuel that won't release more C02 into the atmosphere to grow and process than what we are currently using (ethanol won't work). And when we finally get the oil pushers' hooks out of us we are going to need a new kind of asphalt. The stuff we've got now is dripping with goo. We love you, Michael. Keep up the good work. Our slogan here is "All Hands On Deck!" We'll stay tuned -- Misty Day, C.A.P. |
