A few interesting questions arise with the BP oil spill
in the Gulf of Mexico. How many of such similar oil spills, all at
once and we make the oceans unliveable
of plants and animals? I suppose this is uncharted science questions.
What if we had 10 BP oil spills
simultaneously or say 20 of them? Do we run the danger of making the
oceans unliveable?

And then the question occurs as to if we poisoned the oceans to be
unliveable from oil spills, would the loss of the ocean ecosystem
cause a extinction of the land
plants and animals? I would hazard to guess it would
reduce population numbers drastically but would not
kill off the land plants and animals. I suspect that if one or the
other was completely destroyed that it would
affect the other, but the surviving ecosystem would eventually bring
the destroyed one back to life.

But what I really wanted to say for a long time now, but
kept procrastinating was that I had seen a documentary on Mount St.
Helens and how biologists monitored its coming back to life. Where
moles and
ground hogs were essential along with a plant I have
momentarily forgotten its name. A plant that does not
need soil but can nitrogen fix.

But what I really want to say is that Mt. St. Helens is an active
volcano and that it is hot under the surface
where drilling to reach the hot layers is not much drilling at all,
probably far less drilling to tapp into the
Volcano heat of Mt. St. Helens than to be drilling offshore in the
oceans. And with tapping into a Volcano, we have no worries about
ruining the environment for it is all clean energy and unlimited.

So instead of making plans to drill offshore, why not
make engineering plans to drill Mt. St. Helens and tapp
into a volcano that could theoretically supply all the electricity
needs of the western USA. And if we tapp into the Yellowstone complex,
we probably can be
energy independent for as long as there is a humanity.

Only geothermal is bigger than all the coal, oil and the
sum total of fossil fuels. Only geothermal is safe, clean
and renewable and can replace all the fossil fuels. I made a mistake
there, for nuclear energy is bigger than
all the fossil fuels but it is not renewable and is dangerous in its
waste. Geothermal has no waste to worry about.

What I hope the BP incident has brought to the attention of the world,
is the fact that we must move away from all fossil fuels and must now
focus on tapping into Volcanoes for electricity and to move our
entire transportation to that of electricity run autos, trucks,
trains. Maybe we can even figure out a way to
make airplanes run on electricity.

But anyway, stuck on a planet that is the 3rd from the
Sun and where the Sun supplies us with energy, but we have an
additional energy source that is almost the equal of the Sun. It is
not the fossil fuels, nor nuclear
energy, but is the Earth itself by tapping into its geothermals of
volcanoes.

So the day that humanity is tapped into Volcano Electricity, is the
day that humanity is operating on
all cylinders, to use an old pun-slang expression.

By using only fossil fuels, nuclear and the Sun with minor
contributions by wind, solar and other renewables, we are not
functioning on all cylinders. Once we tapp into Volcanoes then we are
in full working order with a fine future ahead.

I hope the BP incident starts the engineering plans of tapping into a
Volcano. It does not have to be Mt. St. Helens or the recent Iceland
volcano or Yellowstone or
Hawaii, but somewhere we should engineer electric
power stations on top of a Volcano.

Ø The"fossil" fuels are infinitely renewable.
The BP gusher is stronger pressure-wise than any
other seen. It is the pressure that burst through the
last bit of mantle and created the explosion.

It could have been as much as 100 thousand KBar.

In Mt St Helens you have a similar situation,
drilling into unknown rock at temperatures 450 —
500°C and with zero knowledge of the structures
and fissures. A major Hydro-thermal project in
California was abandoned because of proximity
to a fault in the plate.

Ø You would need to know much more geology
before you attempt to even dream about it.

Ø Needless to say, "fossil" fuels are here for the
long haul, even tough they have nothing to do
with fossils.

There are three types of people that you
can_not_talk_into_behaving_well. The
stupid, the religious fanatic, and the evil.

1- The stupid aren't smart enough to follow the
logic of what you say. You have to tell them
what is right in very simple terms. If they do
not agree, you will never be able to change
their mind.

2- The religious fanatic: If what you say goes
against their religious belief, they will cling to
that belief even if it means their death.

3- There is no way to reform evil- not in a
million years. There is no way to convince

the anthropogenic_global_warming_alarmists,

the terrorists, serial killers, paedophiles, and

predators to change their evil ways, They
knew what they were doing was wrong, but
knowledge didn't stop them. It only made
them more careful in how they went about
performing their evil deeds.
