Use of fossil ('mineral') oils usually results in the ultimate

production of carbon dioxide which ends up in the atmosphere. The only effective means of depleting the atmosphere of carbon dioxide is by photobio-synthesis of sugars (and via bio-chemical pathways within living organisms to other complex organic substances, including fats and oils). When the supplies of mineral oils in the world have been depleted to the point where it it would be uneconomic to try and extract more, perhaps the salvation of the Human species will come to rely upon oils derived a) from uni-plast micro-organisms like yeasts, and b) essences expressed from renewable resource higher plants ('essential' oils). The energy for both syntheses comes, of course, from the Sun (provided this source is not blocked by thick cloud of whatever earthly origin and continues to wander through the Milky Way free from celestial collision with some other body, which would be the end of everything!). The technology probably already exists, or could be adapted from known technology, whereby sufficient oils for lubrication purposes could be produced to satisfy world needs! Whether sufficient oil for fuel purposes could ever be produced this way may be debatable, but at least technology has already come up with a variety of renewable and environmentally friendly resources which could keep humanity going until some genius comes up with a better way of generating power. Perhaps we should be looking with more interest at the living organisms which are independent of direct sunlight! I refer to the bathysperic bacteria and other deep-sea organisms of the volcanic 'smokers' of the mid-Atlantic ridges. Keith Messent, Skipton, UK ----- Original Message -----

As oil / energy is scarce, it would be great if we could find an
"alternative source of energy" before oil gets depleted in about 200 - 300 yrs from now. I'm fully aware of that theory of concervancy of energy. Therefore, I would appreciate if someone here could teach / tell us how energy could be tap from the sky (solar energy) or some other sources. Thanks. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at |

The best option is the Hydrogen Energy...(We make controllable Nuclear Fusion Reactors and we are through...)And as far as the studies show we are very near to it....So energy won't be a problem... So be happy and forget about this problem a little...Just think that how will we take the energy to the Vehicles and other movables..... Regards :-), --himanshu sharma ----- Original Message -----

Yeah, solar...wind...geothermal. But what does this have to do with electronics?
I suggest an alternative energy group/website. From: "angtengchat" <angtengchat@...> _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at |

Windmills are not necessarily electonic. They have been around for
hundreds of years, long before electronics. --- In Electronics_101@y..., "angtengchat" <angtengchat@y...> wrote: ----- Original Message -----with 200 -electronics?generators is electronics, solar panels is electronics, windmills is 300us howyrs from now. sources.energy could be tap from the sky (solar energy) or some other

angtengchat,
Yeah, and it's ALL physics, so let's just have one group, physics, and we'll discuss everything there. -Mike From: "angtengchat" <angtengchat@...>Yeah, solar...wind...geothermal.

A long time ago I read that during World War II, when Germany was running out of oil for fuel, German Scientists invented Synthetic Oil from organic materials. However, the end of the war stopped the developmental efforts, and the technology was either suppressed or forgotten. Now, is this true or just one of the legends of that war? If this is true, and the technology is rediscovered, I think this would help very much in the world's energy problem.

Ted,
Now, is this true orSynthetic oil is alive and well and could very well be in a car near you. Not as a fuel but as lubricant. And that's all I will say on that because it is probably off topic. Jim |
