Germany leads 'clean coal' pilot

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:26:27 GMT

clipped by: amgumen

Big questions still hang over CCS technology overall

This mini power plant is a pilot project for carbon capture and storage (CCS) - the first coal-fired plant in the world ready to capture and store its own CO2 emissions.

A cloud of pure oxygen will be breathed into the boiler. The flame will be lit. Then a cloud of powdered lignite will be injected.

The outcome will be heat, water vapour, impurities, nine tonnes of CO2 an hour, and a landmark in clean technology.

Because the CO2 will then be separated, squashed to one 500th of its original volume and squeezed into a cylinder ready to be transported to a gas field and forced 1,000m below the surface into porous rock

the problem is that the exact cost of large-scale CCS is unknown.

The latest estimates suggest CCS power will cost roughly the same as wind power - maybe 50% more than it does at the moment.

The real test of CCS, though, is not in Europe.

Anchorage Daily News- Palin Stretching Truth

Some of Palin's remarks stretch the truth

SPEECH: Gas pipeline, earmark issues have more subtlety than described.

Gov. Sarah Palin's remarks to the Republican National Convention about her record in state government stretched the truth.

THE FACTS: Palin implies that construction has begun on a major natural gas pipeline from the top of Alaska into Canada. That is not correct.

Palin also puts the price tag for the project at $40 billion, an exaggeration. This is roughly $10 billion more than most cost estimates industry players and consultants have made to date.

THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million.

In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation

after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a "bridge to nowhere."

McCain advisor: Stop calling people un-insured

clipped by: masbury
clipper's remarks: Wants executive order requiring the Census Bureau to "cease and desist" from describing any American as uninsured. "Will cost not one thin dime," he brags. Problem solved.
Really, he says that!

Clip Source: www.dailykos.com

As the Census Bureau reports that California has the highest number of uninsured people, and Texas has the highest percentage of residents, a McCain adviser utters some remarkably stupid analysis:

But the numbers are misleading, said John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a right-leaning Dallas-based think tank. Mr. Goodman, who helped craft Sen. John McCain's health care policy [the McCain camp distances themselves], said anyone with access to an emergency room effectively has insurance, albeit the government acts as the payer of last resort

"So I have a solution. And it will cost not one thin dime," Mr. Goodman said. "The next president of the United States should sign an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to cease and desist from describing any American – even illegal aliens – as uninsured.

Instead, the bureau should categorize people according to the likely source of payment should they need care.

"So, there you have it. Voila! Problem solved."

Beautiful Observatory of Kielder

It is the darkest place in England. The Kielder Forest, occupying 250 square miles and situated just where Northumberland brushes against Scotland, has the lowest levels of light pollution in the country - making it the perfect place to watch the stars. Here, far from towns and cities, where all that artificial light smogs up the skies, Charles Barclay, a young, London-based architect, has designed a gloriously inventive yet low-key observatory. It is a place where amateur stargazers and professional astronomers can share telescopes, viewing platforms, ideas and knowledge, beneath one of the most wonderful sights the country has to offer, as the sun sets on clear days and eyes adjust to the seemingly infinite expanse of stars above.

Zimbabwe animals starving to death

In Zimbabwe, it’s not just the people who are suffering as a result of the collapsed economy — it’s also the animals…

The Zimbabwe National SPCA says few can afford to feed pets as a bag of dog food – if available – costs more than the minimum monthly wage.

Marcelle Meredith who’s with the NSPCA in South Africa says they’re trying to help where they can, but are also faced with challenges.

She says nobody in Zim is donating because of the ridiculous cost of living in the country.

Obama, the economic disaster

Clip Source: corner.nationalreview.com

And as the stock market looks on warily, falling slightly today after plunging yesterday, the lead story in this morning’s Wall Street Journal is a serious indictment of Obama’s economic program. “Senator Obama is proposing to use the government to remake economic policies in a way that hasn’t been seen in Washington in decades.” And if it’s a three-house Dem sweep, it will be Katy bar the door. Big-government spending programs, tax increases, trade restraints, a government health-care plan, cap-and-trade on climate change — all without any real deficit restraints, which are accorded a low priority.

Incidentally, while the public clamors for drill, drill, drill, Obama wants high-cost, cap-and-trade carbon regulation enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency. Now, McCain also wants cap-and-trade, but not if India and China don’t go along. Apparently Obama will not be constrained by the rest of the world.

The going rate for one pure gram of Meth is around $245, which is a dramatic leap from $133 in 2006. Meth users may spend more than $1,000 per week, resulting in expenditures of approximately $52,000 per year. Methamphetamines are also known on the street as “Ice”, “glass” or “Speed”. One eight ball is 3.5 grams, and can cost anywhere from $250 - $1,200, depending on the cut. An average addict can go though one eight ball in two days.
