Good news for the environment!


Since we are being bombarded with disaster stories concerning the environment, I thought you might like to know about three technological advances that are being developed which should ease your mind...
The first, is the compressed air car you see pictured. It is being developed by the French company MDI. It runs on compressed air and gives off zero polution. It is safe and inexpensive. The cost to fill the compressed air tank is about $3.00 It is in production now and should be available in North America next year. This won't replace your BMW or your truck but it would make an excellent city commuter or second car. As the technology improves it will be available in larger vehicles.
The second is the printed solar panels I posted about here..http://www.reddeerblog.com/2007/01/imagine-consequences.html
The main point is solar panels at about 25% of todays cost.
The third and most important item, is a billion dollar project by the British to build a new type of nuclear plant. The exisiting nuclear plants are fission, the new plants will be fusion. The main difference is that the byproduct of fission plants is radioactive waste. The fusion plants by comparison produce very small amounts of low grade radioactive waste making them much safer and better for the environment. The amount of energy produced from a fusion plant is one million times that from burning oil or coal. Pretty impressive stuff.
So there you have it, the money grabbing corporations are going to save us. So now we can go back to our business of making our lives; fun, easy and over-flowing with abundance!
