If you consult New Scientist, The Scientific American and listen to the vapourings that stream out of the BBC, NASA and the White House, you'll hear idiots promoting schemes hardly less silly than mine. Seriously! Colonising space. Living on the Moon. Inhabiting other planets. And the like.<br />Here's a very minor example. "Hydrogen fuelled cars" to reduce pollution and depletion of oil reserves.. Problem. Earth's atmosphere contains virtually no hydrogen. So we'll need to manufacture it. How? By "cracking" low fraction paraffins (i.e. oil) OR . . electrolyse water into hydrogen and oxygen. How? By burning oil/gas to make the elecrticity to do the electrolysis. These are Gee Whizz solutions to the REAL PROBLEM . People insist on living a hundred miles from where they work and have given up riding bikes! <br />Want another one? Central heating. It's an INSANE way to heat your house but right now I can't be bothered to explain why.Doctor FTSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052101566471519778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478273688536973765.post-14527167165382130492010-12-03T20:39:20.104+00:002010-12-03T20:39:20.104+00:00I think Jinksy is saying you need a new blog for o...I think Jinksy is saying you need a new blog for outrageously silly stuff.
