Re: [biofuel] EU: Boycott of American Goods Over Iraq War Gains Momentum

2003-03-30 Thread bratt

I think this Don Lancaster has a moronic streak.  He has a bunch of
information and cans it in PDF files.  If anything deserves boycotting its
PDF files.

PDF is antiquated, slow, and totally unsuitable for large volume publication
use.  I had to scan s-l-o-w-l-y through hundreds of pages to find
information because there is no way to relate the index of the manuscript to
the pdf page numbers, which makes the six page index absolutely worthless.

They should stick their pdf files wher the "sun don't shine", or shelve it
along with the hammer and chisel, clay tablets, and sidewalk chalk.

This war stuff is all nuts.

Lately it has been my misfortune to be Canadian.  Don't get me wrong, Canada
is great.  But lately, things like eBay's boycott on allowing Canadian bids
seems a little childish.

If there really is a terrorism/WMD threat to the US, great.  Go eliminate
the threat.  Canada has always been ready to help the US defend it's rights
and I (and a great many other Canadians) back this philosophy.  Naturally,
there are those here that feel different and I can't speak for them.

However, I personally feel that as an offensive move, the US makes it's own
choice.  They definitely have the strength and power to accomplish their
task.  Hell, we can't even keep helicopters in the sky or keep our subs from
leaking!!!  Let's not pick on the '90lb weakling' neighbour.

Make no mistake.  Should, for whatever reason, the tables turned and things
turn to a defensive mode Canada will be in there like white over rice.

I have many friends in the US and they don't boycott me.  We do have a
couple of asses in office that make stupid remarks and you can better your
higher-valued dollar that they don't get elected again.  The little guys
(voters) can only bitch-slap those kinds of politicians by using the almight

  Jerry,

  I think you misunderstood it, it is in foreign countries that a movement
  is growing now to boycott American companies/products. It is a reaction
  on the unjust war and maybe the pictures of Americans emptying fine
  French wine in the gutter, a waste that is criminal. If anyone want to
  get rid of good French wine, please send it to me. But I think that the
  parents to those who did it, are angry now and are stocking up again.

  I talked to young people in Spain, Germany and Sweden and they want
  to boycott what they see as American interests. Not always smart, but
  a healthy reaction on something that they see as unjust war. They do
  not trust the altruistic songs from Bush & Co.

  It is expected that the PP party in Spain will loose a lot of votes on
this.
  Although  Bush get a lot of support for the war in the polls, a majority
  says that they would not vote for him again. So he stand a far chance
  of joining his father in being one of the very few presidents who lost a
  reelection. The support for Blair show a similar tendency.

  Boycotts are sometimes efficient, but I agree that it very seldom hurts
  the ones that they are aimed for. Look at the US led UN boycott against
  Iraq and the hundreds of thousands of children who died because of it.

  Personally I think that McDonalds is a part of the US chemical warfare
  and since I do not eat their stuff, I cannot boycott them. Maybe we will
  get some healthier youngsters as a result of the war and that is positive.
  I stopped to drink Coca Cola, but that was for health reasons also. I
  have a similar thing with French Fries (Freedom Fries, LOL), stopped
  eating that too, because if you do a chemical analysis, they are very
  easy mistaken for paper products. Jerry, we are both retired and have

This war stuff is all nuts.

Lately it has been my misfortune to be Canadian.  Don't get me wrong, Canada
is great.  But lately, things like eBay's boycott on allowing Canadian bids
seems a little childish.

If there really is a terrorism/WMD threat to the US, great.  Go eliminate
the threat.  Canada has always been ready to help the US defend it's rights
and I (and a great many other Canadians) back this philosophy.  Naturally,
there are those here that feel different and I can't speak for them.

However, I personally feel that as an offensive move, the US makes it's own
choice.  They definitely have the strength and power to accomplish their
task.  Hell, we can't even keep helicopters in the sky or keep our subs from
leaking!!!  Let's not pick on the '90lb weakling' neighbour.

Make no mistake.  Should, for whatever reason, the tables turned and things

  Jerry,

  I think you misunderstood it, it is in foreign countries that a movement

Re: [biofuel] flow meters

2003-03-30 Thread Paul

Hello All ,and Jack

In oil field we use metering plates / calibrated hole in a plate / and
pressure gauges on either side the use charts calculated prior to WW II for
the answer.  Theses charts will be for specific gravity of liquid or gas.
The simpler yet method would be to close the container you draw from and
read the lower pressure.

Arab TV Crew Says Found 40 Dead US Soldiers

The following appeared in the letters section of WhatReallyHappened.com
3-26-3

"Sanwa ata Mosahra reporting. A film crew from al-Minar TV, a 
television network of Lebanon, stumbled across the bodies of about 40 
US soldiers scattered in the desert outside Maseriah. Ali Fawsua a 
camera man for al-Minar said "It was obvious the soldiers had been in 
a major battle as there was empty ammunition casing everywhere".
 
"We searched around but could not find any dead Iraqi soldiers and 
must be thinking they took their dead and injured away from the 
battle" he added.
 
"We called on our satellite phone to our base camp and told them what 
we had found and they told the Americans where we were located".
 
"Soon some American helicopters came to us and the Americans took all 
our camera and recording equipment and smashed it. They told us to 
leave the area and say nothing of this finding".
 
"When we arrived back at our base to the south there were American 
military police everywhere and they destroyed all of our equipment 
and told us to leave Iraq immediately".
 
al-Minar has lodged a complaint with the IJCO and US with a claim for 
compensation for the many thousands dollars of destroyed equipment.

Report: Rumseld Ignored Pentagon Advice on Iraq
Reuters
Saturday, March 29, 2003; 5:33 PM

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld repeatedly 
rejected advice from Pentagon planners that substantially more troops 
and armor would be needed to fight a war in Iraq, New Yorker Magazine 
reported.

... Hersh, however, quoted the former intelligence official as saying 
the war was now a stalemate.

Much of the supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles has been expended, 
aircraft carriers were going to run out of precision guided bombs and 
there were serious maintenance problems with tanks, armored vehicles 
and other equipment, the article said.

"The only hope is that they can hold out until reinforcements 
arrive," the former official said...

[biofuel] 'Warmonger' explains to 'Peacenik' why we are at war

2003-03-30 Thread Keith Addison

http://ladyday.foobar.fi/~pjh/Iraq.html

'Warmonger' explains to 'Peacenik' why we are at war

By Victor Forsythe
"Dedicated to the Love it or Leave it crowd"

(A fictitious interview that matches with reality)

Peacenik (PN): Why did you say we are invading Iraq?

Warmonger (WM): We are invading Iraq because it is in violation of 
security council resolution 1441. A country cannot be allowed to 
violate security council resolutions.

PN: But I thought many of our allies, including Israel, were in 
violation of more security council resolutions than Iraq.

WM:
It's not just about UN resolutions. The main point is that Iraq could 
have weapons of mass destruction, and the first sign of a smoking gun 
could well be a mushroom cloud over NY.

PN:
Mushroom cloud? But I thought the weapons inspectors said Iraq had no 
nuclear weapons.

WM:
Yes, but biological and chemical weapons are the issue.

PN:
But I thought Iraq did not have any long range missiles for attacking 
us or our allies with such weapons.

WM:
The risk is not Iraq directly attacking us, but rather terrorists 
networks that Iraq could sell the weapons to.

PN:
But couldn't virtually any country sell chemical or biological 
materials? We sold quite a bit to Iraq in the eighties ourselves, 
didn't we?

WM:
That's ancient history. Look, Saddam Hussein is an evil man that has 
an undeniable track record of repressing his own people since the 
early eighties. He gasses his enemies. Everyone agrees that he is a 
power-hungry lunatic murderer.

PN:
We sold chemical and biological materials to a power-hungry lunatic murderer?

WM:
The issue is not what we sold, but rather what Saddam did. He is the 
one that launched a pre-emptive first strike on Kuwait.

PN:
A pre-emptive first strike does sound bad. But didn't our ambassador 
to Iraq, Glaspie, know about and green-light the invasion of Kuwait?

WM:
Let's deal with the present, shall we? As of today, Iraq could sell 
its biological and chemical weapons to Al Qaida. Osama Bin Laden 
himself released an audio tape calling on Iraqis to suicide attack 
us, proving a partnership between the two.

PN:
Osama Bin Laden? Wasn't the point of invading Afghanistan to kill him?

WM:
Actually, it's not 100% certain that it's really Osama Bin Laden on 
the tapes. But the lesson from the tape is the same: there could 
easily be a partnership between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein unless we 
act.

PN:
Is this the same audio tape where Osama Bin Laden labels Saddam a 
secular infidel?

WM:
You're missing the point by just focusing on the tape. Powell 
presented a strong case against Iraq.

PN:
He did?

WM:
Yes, he showed satellite pictures of an Al Qaeda poison factory in Iraq.

PN:
But didn't that turn out to be a harmless shack in the part of Iraq 
controlled by the Kurdish opposition?

WM:
And a British intelligence report...

PN:
Didn't that turn out to be copied from an out-of-date graduate student paper?

WM:
And reports of mobile weapons labs...

PN:
Weren't those just artistic renderings?

WM:
And reports of Iraqis scuttling and hiding evidence from inspectors...

PN:
Wasn't that evidence contradicted by the chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix?

WM:
Yes, but there is plenty of other hard evidence that cannot be 
revealed because it would compromise our security.

PN:
So there is no publicly available evidence of weapons of mass 
destruction in Iraq?

WM:
The inspectors are not detectives, it's not their JOB to find 
evidence. You're missing the point.

PN:
So what is the point?

WM:
The main point is that we are invading Iraq because resolution 1441 
threatened "severe consequences." If we do not act, the security 
council will become an irrelevant debating society.

PN:
So the main point is to uphold the rulings of the security council?

WM:
Absolutely. ...unless it rules against us.

PN:
And what if it does rule against us?

WM:
In that case, we must lead a coalition of the willing to invade Iraq.

PN:
Coalition of the willing? Who's that?

WM:
Britain, Turkey, Bulgaria, Spain, and Italy, for starters.

PN:
I thought Turkey refused to help us unless we gave them tens of 
billions of dollars

WM:
Nevertheless, they may now be willing.

PN:
I thought public opinion in all those countries was against war.

WM:
Current public opinion is irrelevant. The majority expresses its will 
by electing leaders to make decisions.

PN:
So it's the decisions of leaders elected by the majority that is important?

WM:
Yes.

PN:
But George B . . .

WM:
I mean, we must support the decisions of our leaders, however they 
were elected, because they are acting in our best interest. This is 
about being a patriot. That's the bottom line.

PN:
So if we do not support the decisions of the president, we are not patriotic?

WM:
I never said that.

PN:
So what are you saying? Why are we invading Iraq?

WM:
As I said, because there is a chance that they have weapons of mass 
destruction that threaten us and our allies.

PN:
But the inspectors h

[biofuel] "I'll shoot Yanks to save Iraq"

2003-03-30 Thread Keith Addison

http://globalfire.tv/nj/03en/politics/peoplefight.htm

"Now you say you are bombing us into democracy. Yet since you've 
unloaded thousands of missiles on us I don't feel more democratic."


Daily Mirror, London, March 30, 2003, Page 7

I'll shoot Yanks to save Iraq

Now all that is left in the Baghdad sitting room is a sagging 
armchair - and an automatic rifle resting on enough ammunition to 
kill a hundred men.

The weapon is more than 20 years old, a relic from the Iran-Iraq war. 
But when the Americans come rolling into town, Ghazwan Al-Mukhtar 
will using it to kill as many as he can.

"The more of those American Bastards I get the happier I will be, " 
says the father of three.

Ghazwan Al-Mukhtar doesn't feel more democratic since Bush started to 
bomb Baghdad into democracy. He wants to kill Americans and Brits.

Ghazwan, 59, is no ardent supporter of Saddam Hussein. He loves 
English pubs and American diners, often visited the UK and points out 
he was even educated in the US.

He is no friend of the Iraqi regime. He just hates George Bush and 
Tony Blair more. Ask why, and you get a one word answer: sanctions. 
...

The sanctions were supposed to make Saddam's people rise up against 
him. But as Ghazwan furiously says: "You stupid fools have done the 
exact opposite. " ...

Even when confronted with a litany of Saddam Hussein's human rights 
abuses, torture chambers and secret police, he holds firm. "You say 
Saddam Hussein has killed many people - I say the UN sanctions have 
killed our children. Does Saddam Hussein kill children? No."

Bitterly, he adds: "You weren't calling him a ruthless dictator in 
the Eighties when this place was dripping with money.

"Now you say you are bombing us into democracy. Yet since you've 
unloaded thousands of missiles on us I don't feel more democratic.

"You give me the choice between Saddam Hussein or George Bush. I take 
Saddam Hussein every time. "

This is why, when our troops come to liberate him, he will be shooting to kill.

His gun may be a museum piece compared to the Allied tanks. But, with 
his family sent away, this former Iraqi soldier means to fight. And 
the is not on his own.

The Lion, On His Den

by Joe Quandt

Dec 3 '02

Ghazwan Al-Muktar is an is an Iraqi, denizon of Baghdad. He an 
American educated engineer and former medical equipment supplier who 
now devotes his energies to writing and speaking the truth about life 
under Saddam as well as the realities behind American foreign policy 
in the Middle East. Ghazwan spent time in conversation with local 
writer, activist Joe Quandt during the latter's stay in Baghdad with 
Voices in the Wilderness.

The Lion, On His Den

"President Sukarno of Indonesia once said, 'We silence the enemies of 
freedom.'"

Ghazwan Al-Mukhtar slumps back in his chair, silently gauging the 
effect of that absurdly ironic statement on his listeners.

And Ghazwan is an Iraqi who lives his ironies: a denouncer of Saddam 
regime inequities who continues to live in Iraq; a man who worked 
hard to provide for his family and his retirement, only to have his 
assets frozen in foreign banks as a result of U.N. Resolution 687; a 
heart attack-age guy who's trying to quit smoking, but liberally 
helps himself to my cigarettes all thru 2 separate conversations; a 
well spoken professional who peppers his gravel-voiced diatribes with 
pungent American profanities.

He's been asked to join the Voices in the Wilderness Writers Project, 
a unique attempt to give Iraqis an Internet forum. VitW is the 
Chicago-based group that has been working since '96 to end the 
economic sanctions against Iraq. I give him a call, and he agrees to 
meet me in the dining room of the Al-Fanar Hotel, Voices' 
headquarters in Baghdad.

Ghazwan studied geophysics at Cal Berkley, and graduated with an 
engineering degree from Marquette in '67. For most of his career, he 
sold medical supplies to hospitals. He says he has too scientific a 
mind to be a writer, yet he has written dozens of articles over the 
years, critical not only of the U.N. sanctions against his country, 
but also the current regime in Baghdad.

"I never wrote until I had to vent my frustration. Iraq is being 
singled out for punishment. I don't complain about my own condition, 
I'm comfortable, but I'm thinking about how the people are hurting, 
their lack of a future."

Iraq, once boasted the highest standard of medical care in the Middle 
East outside of Israel. He bemoans the 12-year information gap that 
the sanctions created when they cut Iraq off from world developments 
in the medical field. Compounding the problem, thousands of health 
care professionals have been lost to death or emigration. Altogether, 
2 million people have left Iraq since the sanctions were imposed.

"Are they political refugees? Are they economic refugees? If they 
leave, they must claim political asylum because no country wil

actually, if the war etc. really is based on oil (personally I find the US$ as

[biofuel] thought for the weekend...

2003-03-30 Thread paul van den bergen

Believe it or not this occured to me in the shower...

I was thinking about centrifugal filtering/seperation of BCBs, especially fine 
ones, from BD (well, grease in general, but BD too)

it occured to me that if the mixture of animal and vegitable fats will 
seperate out at low T due to gelling on the animal fats, then there is an 
immiscibiliity between the two phases, or atleast a phase seperation. Either 
way, one should be able to either seperate the gell particles from the 
non-gelled liquid, or if all liquid it may be that the higher functional 
(bulkier, more FFA bearing) molecules , which would be more viscous, would 
also be removed by a certifugal processing to remove BCBs.

mind you, this may be true, but I bet it is not simple... I will have to 
investigate this further with some friencds who know more about centrifical 
seperation than I

[biofuel] measuring fluid quantities

2003-03-30 Thread Jack Kenworthy

I didn't hear from anyone about sourcing out a flow meter for measuring large 
quanities of heated WVO and methanol into the reaction tank, so perhaps such 
things aren't used.  How do folks typically measure the amount of WVO and 
methanol they are putting into the reactor for largish batches, say 100 gallons?
Thanks.

[biofuels-biz] Peugeot takes it's diesel racing on biofuel

2003-03-30 Thread Marc Bonanni

Hello,

Did you know that Peugeot will use one of the two RC prototypes(born 
in 2002 Geneva Motorshow)in REAL race on circuit 

It will use the same HDI engine than the red one(2.2l, particles 
filter, 175bhp)but using diester oil(more ecological than diesel), 
and 25 examples will be built to race in diffrent circuits in France 
and Belgium...

See the official photographes, it's a really nice sport car

[biofuel] Mixing fuels

2003-03-30 Thread al_ameen13

What would happen if I tried mixing WVO with standard fossil-diesel? 
Would the two mix and stay mixed? And what would the viscosity be 
like?

Re: [biofuel] Eliminating Truth

2003-03-30 Thread Hakan Falk


Hi Darryl,

What I wanted to say was that all soldiers get training since
WWI and also in using the injection kit, but with salt water.

All military have equipment for their soldiers also. Finding
storage of gear, does not say anything. In Iraq's case their
soldiers could even have the equipment, if they do not trust
US (LOL), because they know that US have the gas. US
was the supplier of the gas they used against Iran and
"against his own people".

[biofuel] Fear Factor...

2003-03-30 Thread Neoteric Biofuels Inc

-- But if thought is to become the possession of many, not the 
privilege of
the few, we must have done with fear. It is fear that holds men back -
fear lest their cherished beliefs should prove delusions, fear lest the
institutions by which they live should prove harmful, fear lest they
themselves should prove less worthy of respect than they have supposed
themselves to be." (Bertrand Russell, from Principles of Social
Reconstruction, 1916. Quoted Erich Fromm, On Disobedience and Other
Essays, Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1984, pp.34-5)

  I used water injection for high compression gasoline and propane
engines
  for many years.  The unit I owned was an Edelbrock "VariJection" model
that
  relied on a vacuum signal and engine rpm to determine how much water got
  injected into the engine.

  It was very effective at controlling detonation, and there seemed to
be
  some improvement in power between 2 500 and 3 000 rpm.  (I never push an
  engine faster than this. . .)  However, this is not quantifiable because I
  never put my vehicles on a dyno to test engine power.

  As far as fuel economy was concerned, you'll do just as well, if not
  better, by making sure your tires are properly inflated.  Water cools down
  the combustion temperatures--if you want more efficiency, you have to burn
  hot.

Momentum



  Jerry,

  I think you misunderstood it, it is in foreign countries that a movement
  is growing now to boycott American companies/products. It is a reaction
  on the unjust war and maybe the pictures of Americans emptying fine
  French wine in the gutter, a waste that is criminal. If anyone want to
  get rid of good French wine, please send it to me. But I think that the
  parents to those who did it, are angry now and are stocking up again.

  I talked to young people in Spain, Germany and Sweden and they want
  to boycott what they see as American interests. Not always smart, but
  a healthy reaction on something that they see as unjust war. They do
  not trust the altruistic songs from Bush & Co.

  It is expected that the PP party in Spain will loose a lot of votes on
this.
  Although  Bush get a lot of support for the war in the polls, a majority
  says that they would not vote for him again. So he stand a far chance
  of joining his father in being one of the very few presidents who lost a
  reelection. The support for Blair show a similar tendency.

  Boycotts are sometimes efficient, but I agree that it very seldom hurts
  the ones that they are aimed for. Look at the US led UN boycott against
  Iraq and the hundreds of thousands of children who died because of it.

  Personally I think that McDonalds is a part of the US chemical warfare
  and since I do not eat their stuff, I cannot boycott them. Maybe we will
  get some healthier youngsters as a result of the war and that is positive.
  I stopped to drink Coca Cola, but that was for health reasons also. I
  have a similar thing with French Fries (Freedom Fries, LOL), stopped
  eating that too, because if you do a chemical analysis, they are very
  easy mistaken for paper products. Jerry, we are both retired and have
  to think about our health.

I think I saw a bit of that coverage, or something similar, and it left me very 
confused.  There was nothing to say the gas protection gear was recovered from 
captured troops.  For some reason, I had the impression the gear was abandoned 
as 
Iraqi troops retreated.  I am not a military tactician, but it seems to me that 
if 
I was an Iraqi soldier, and I thought my side was planning on using chemical or 
biological weapons, I would not leave my gas protection gear behind when 
retreating.  

On the other hand, as an Iraqi soldier, I might well know the provenance of gas 
weaponry used on Kurds in the past.  However, if I had expected the invading 
force 
to use chemical weapons, and they had not yet done so, such gear might seem to 
have 
less value.

So, as for the discovery of gas protection gear in Iraq as evidence that the 
Iraqis 
have chemical or biological weapons at their disposal, well, it seems just as 
likely the Iraqis are worried about the U.S. using chemical weapons in Iraq.  
In 
fact, I think Rumsfeld referred to potential use of non-lethal gas agents by 
the 
U.S. as a possibility, evoking memories of Putin's recent use of "non-lethal" 
gas 
at the Moscow theatre hostage taking.  Non-lethal meaning it doesn't kill 
everybody, judging by the results there (one of 117 survived).

Summary (mine)

Iraq denies that they have chemical weapons.

Years of U.N. inspections have found no Iraqi chemical, biological or nuclear 
weapons, even with assistance of U.S. intelligence information in last couple 
of 
months.

U.S. admits to having nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, have supplied 
chemical weapons to Iraq in the past, and U.S. Secretary of Defense has 
publicly 
mused on use of "non-lethal" chemical weapons in Iraq in the past two months.

U.S. discovery of gas protection gear in abandoned Iraqi positions, but no 
actual 
evidence of chemical weapons, leads U.S. administration to conclude that this 
is 
proof that Iraq has chemical weapons.

I still don't see how the logic leads to this conclusion.

Re: [biofuel] Eliminating Truth

2003-03-30 Thread Hakan Falk


I am looking at the coverage from the Iraq war and they have found
some gas masks and gas protection equipment for the Iraqi troops.
The say that it proves that Iraq have chemical weapon capacity. I do
not want to take a stand on the question if Iraq still have chemical
weapons capacity, but the argument seems to me as pathetic and
a result of the desperation of the fact that they did not found any yet.

Almost all countries have training for protection from chemical warfare.
since WWI. Sweden have never had chemical or biological weapons,
but when I did military service 40 years ago, we had standard training
in protection against chemical attacks. During the Iraq - Iran war, they
used chemical weapons on both sides, the Iraqi was supplied by US.
I cannot see any proof in the training of Iraqi troops.

Maybe they will find weapons at the end and maybe they will be able
to produce some kind of proof. The kind of propaganda that we now
are subject to, might be a result of wishful thinking. Because if they
do not find hard evidence in large volumes, Bush/Blair & Co are in
a very difficult situation. At least Blair and maybe some others can
end up in front of the war crime tribunal, Bush will never be able to
leave US soil.

[biofuel] Re: various auto safety comments

2003-03-30 Thread murdoch

>yeah but worth paying for is the question...

The total costs of vehicle ownership is a pet subject of mine, and I
think that a system that makes a serious contribution to avoiding
major mishaps could be an important contributor to lowering the costs,
as it is integrated into the mainstream.  To illustrate, a little:

My car was destroyed 9 days ago by a Ford pickup, as it sat parked
legally at the side of the road.  The young woman driving the truck
was momentarily distracted by her little dog, she was a young
less-experienced driver, and when she looked up she was already
ploughing into my car @ around 45 mph or more.

There have been numerous costs associated with this for me, some of
which will be partly compensated, some of which won't, and some of
which cannot be.  One of the many topics I've had cause to think about
is that, if the insurance system was better integrated with costs and
more responsive and communicative, it would compensate me more for my
car (the fair market value was low, but the miles were unbelievably
low, as I had prioritized that to keep my TCO low when I bought it),
better communicate to states that improved young-driver education
would be helpful, and, in this case, get it through to the city that
if a half-dozen or so such incidents have occurred near that stretch
(I learn afterward), then maybe it would be less costly to redesign
the stretch than to just keep paying out half-compensations to people.

[An aside: like I've said before, someone somewhere needs to start a
page called something like www.accidentswaitingtohappen.com to
chronicle and allow folks worldwide to post precise locations of all
stretches where they know there are such bad-design problems, because
we all know the powers that be can take their sweet time waiting for
one or more deaths and costly accidents before they do something about
such problems.]

I will never be fully compensated for the lost time and stress that
I've had in dealing with this issue (where there wasn't even a medical
issue to deal with thank goodness).  

What I want to say though is that I think it would be worthwhile to
pursue various types of automation for vehicle steering and powering,
beyond what we have already done.  I do not suggest that this be
implemented with a heavy-hand, but that gradually, going forward, we
continue to seek this out and not pooh-pooh it as though it is never
worthwhile to try to improve our vehicle technology with something new
and futuristic.  As computers and controlls improve and as the auto
industry continues to have some competitiveness, I'm hoping that at
some point one can enter a vehicle and read a paper as it does the
driving even more safely than oneself.  That probably will not happen
in my lifetime, except perhaps in a special-designed community
isolated for that entire purpose, but I don't think you can reach
these sort of things unless you spell out why you think it might be
worthwhile.

Driving is the most dangerous thing most of us do in our normal daily
lives and while I agree with asking if it would be worth the cost to
develop car-self-driving-mechanisms, and other associated useful aids
to conventional driver-steered systems, in the end I do think it would
be financially worthwhile, particularly in light of the reduction in
medical and property and other costs to our lives and the lives of our
associates (such as when we miss work or have to deal with auto or
paperwork hassles) of auto collisions.

Re: [biofuel] diesel cars in the United States?

2003-03-30 Thread murdoch

Basically, the link that I gave is the same that you gave.  I.e.,
"sandiego.traderpub.com" is more or less the same thing.  The problem
is that I can find no place to enter a keyword in the autotrader.
There is a place to specify diesel fuel though.  It is not clear to me
if that catches all such models, so I have bought the print editions.

Darryl's is to a different auto trader in Canada that does appear to
allow keyword searches.

The following is from the New York Times, it is interesting that they see
the need for both diesel hybrid and fuel cells. It has been my experience
that when the military gets interested in throwing money at technology that
large gains are often made and they filter back to commercial or private
use products fairly quickly. It also tends to cause some interest in the
general public regarding the new technology being implemented which may
cause greater interest in diesel hybrid and fuel cell automotive
applications.

Best regards,

 On Horizon, Military Sees High-Technology Trucks   
 By SUE MEAD








 When today's military warhorses roll into the sunset, what will take their 
 place? Military officials, government agencies and the Detroit-based   
 automakers are working to develop trucks and technologies for future   
 missions.  


 Under a $14 billion initiative called Combatt — for commercially based 
 tactical truck — the Big Three have worked with the Army's National
 Automotive Center and other service branches to develop military vehicles  
 from the architecture of existing trucks. DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor and  
 General Motors have all built prototype Combatt trucks based on heavy-duty 
 versions of their full-size pickups, although Ford recently dropped out of 
 the program.   


 Hybrid diesel-electric versions of military trucks have also been  
 developed by Dodge and Chevrolet.  


 The goal is a truck with the latest technology, more off-road versatility, 
 improved fuel economy and easier maintenance. Most significant, adapting   
 an existing truck should hold down costs. The National Automotive Center,  
 which works to adapt commercial technologies for military applications,
 estimates that the government could buy trucks based on the prototypes for 
 $30,000 less than a Humvee.


 The National Automotive Center says Humvees currently cost about $62,000   
 each, an amount that it projects to rise to $75,000. The center estimates  
 that pickups with Combatt modifications would range from $40,000 to
 $50,000.   


 Requirements are for a light tactical truck remanufactured to Army 
 specifications to carry troops and cargo. Such a truck could replace, in   
 some applications, the Humvee. 


 "Our mission directly affects the fighting men and women in today's Army," 
 said Maj. Gen. N. Ross Thompson III, commander of the Army's Tank, 
 Automotive and Armaments Command. "But we look at a support horizon that   
 spans 70 years — from equipment built in the mid-1960's to equipment that  
 will still be in soldiers' hands in 2035." 
 The Combatt trucks receive heavy-duty modifications to meet military   
 standards, including air springs that adjust the ride height, advanced 
 differentials, antiroll bars of varying stiffness, bigger wheels and   
 tires, a system that inflates or deflates the tires while movi
