I am going to vote Libertarian. F Obama right back.

Going to organize against anyone who shreds the constitution.

Hey what about a new “Constitution” Party. Outraged Dems and Conservative Rethugs. I bet we could win. F all the Dems starting with Pelosi, Reid and Steny.

Thanks for the response and the info on Argon.

FWIW, these people disagree with you about the Hindenburg and hydrogen.

Hydrogen Now.

One of the best lines in the interview: Horton said a friend of his who sits on the Defense Policy Board was having lunch with Haynes when the Hamdan opinion came down with its footnote saying that the process that was put in place was criminal. Horton’s friend told Horton that Haynes blanched, turned white as a sheet and got up and left.

Argon’s inert. Won’t burn, won’t do anything but be there. You also can’t breathe it.

Hydrogen is flammable (Hindenburg, yes?) and because the molecules are so small, it can go through metal. Also through any gap in the container. It’s seriously hard to handle. It likes just about everything it comes in contact with, too. As a gas, it’s easier to deal with than as a liquid (for one thing, you don’t need a lot of insulation and cooling equipment), but it still wants to go bang.

Good riddance to that right-wing moron Schilling. When he started campaigning for Bush in the middle of the historic Curse of the Bambino series I wanted to vomit. Ruined the whole thing for me. At least Bushista Peter MacGowan has sold his share of the Giants.

Damn! I just blew up my kitchen trying to get gasoline out a hard boiled egg.

Unlike gasoline, H floats. In relatively small amounts, I think it’s a good deal less flammable than gasoline.

I think a bigger concern wrt replacing gasoline in the internal combustion engine is the pressure you have to keep H under. It takes a big-ass steel cannister.

Another issue I think is Argon. I’m not sure how plentiful or safe it is. I think it’s needed as a catalyst?

If I were to write that last comment again I would hope I would off the first “off.”

Its a good point. I remember the Hindenburg. At least I saw the pictures. These are people that live in “The Greater World” the off the solar “earthship” off the grid community out by the Rio Grande gorge northwest of Taos. I am sure they know of the dangers. As a matter of fact I was considering doing a post on the dangers of handling hydrogen on another site this morning. As much as I might be prone to be officious my warnings would not stop them. It nevertheless intrigues me.

Another idea that has gotten my attention is word of the Japanese project around a vehicle that gets 120 miles on a tank of air pressure.
