multiplexing to solve problems

The Gulf of Mexico is dying from the fertilizer run off coming down the Mississippi River.

Could this run off be channeled into seaweed production? This would help clean up the Gulf and the seaweed would be bio mass which could be converted to energy.

Energy Policy

It is pathetic that our Energy Secretary ignores Nuclear Energy, the most promising source of clean and economic energy available to us today. When the President and the Senate majority leader declare our nuclear waste storage solution to be "dead" without considering the $13 Billion of tax payer's funds invested, nor the scientific opinions of the experts who did the research and experiments to validate the Yucca Mountain facility as a safe long term storage facility.

Stop ignoring our existing solutions, because they are not "politically correct"

word "se+y"

you know, "the word" can actually mean atractive, whichI think is perfectly fine.

Rightful Place

Chu needs to get out of policy and get back in the lab. I'm not knocking the guy - but he belongs in the lab, not worrying about Snowflake the Polar Bear.

He made some great progress in superconductivity. Get it to room temperature and our energy issues are a thing of the past.

Advance Research Grant Applications

It would be very helpful to know how to apply for an Advance Research grant application from Secretary Steven Chu's agency. Is it possible to email the form to be completed or can one write to a specific office address for such form to be sent by snail mail?

New exploration technology to triple discoveries

US Energy Secretary, Dr.Steven Chu said recently in the New York Times: "If we don’t spend this money wisely and invest in new technology that addresses these challenges, we will have failed the country. We will have failed the world.”

I agree therewith. Particularly, we have to get real progress in petroleum exploration. What are we doing in exploration now? One commercial discovery in four wildcats, isn’t it? Why?

There is a new technology for oil/gas detection providing above three discoveries in four wildcats. See: http://www.binaryseismoem.weebly.com .

With new technology (patented invention US 7,330,790) we could make up to three times more oil and gas discoveries than when using conventional technology. And the fact that new technology won’t need more investments is also very important. I disclosed the technology, designed it and successfully tested in the Barents and the Black Seas as well as in the Gulf of Mexico.

I will be happy to help any company to implement my technology.

I hope you are kidding...

But I fear you are not. While one definition of sexy is to be sexually suggestive or appealing, another is to be generally attractive or interesting. Grab a dictionary. Your outrage is ridiculous.
