Chernobyl..1 million dead so far..Fukushima could be worse.

Chernobyl legacy to linger long after most humans have gone

Chernobyl fallout covered the entire Northern Hemisphere

The explosion at Chernobyl nuclear power plant 26 years ago has so far claimed at least a million lives, and counting. The core meltdown, which occurred on Saturday, April 26, 1986 at reactor No. 4 of the V.I. Lenin Nuclear Power Station, as it was then called, left entire regions in three countries—Ukraine, Russia and Belarus—unlivable.

The long-term consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are still disputed.

Birth defects and cancer were the norm for many years following the Chernobyl disaster.  By the time  residents of Pripyat, a town located near the plant, were ordered to evacuate, about two days after the Chernobyl core meltdown had occurred, many had already been exposed to varying doses of radiation poisoning.

Consequences of the Catastrophe. Authors  Alexey Yablokov (Center for Russian Environmental Policy in Moscow), Vassily Nesterenko and Alexey Nesterenko ( Institute of Radiation Safety, Minsk, Belarus) studied about 5,000 reports and scientific  papers mostly published in Slavic languages and compiled their finding in the  book “Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment,” which was published last year on the 24th anniversary of the Chernobyl reactor core meltdown.

“For the past 23 years, it has been clear that there is a danger greater than nuclear weapons concealed within nuclear power. Emissions from this one reactor exceeded a hundred-fold the radioactive contamination of the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.” They wrote.

“No citizen of any country can be assured that he or she can be protected from radioactive contamination. One nuclear reactor can pollute half the globe,” the authors said. “Chernobyl fallout covers the entire Northern Hemisphere.”

‘Gasoline’ 100% free of CO2 and pollutants Exists NOW

     For nearly 100 years we have been forced to use petroleum, causing environmental devastation, runaway climate change and the agonizing deaths of countless millions of us through air pollution.

Now at last, with Climate Chaos becoming a daily reality, people are starting to  ‘discover’ that a CO2, NOx and SOx FREE alternative has existed all along.

We are doing a micro campaign on this blog in favour of this  CO2-free fuel. It’s a reformist solution, but one that’s available NOW

The criminal oil industry wants to close blogs like this, afraid prices would collapse if we started making NH3 car fuel.. locally with just wind, air and water

Please can you help? We need lots of free publicity and to persuade ‘respectable’ blogs, magazines, etc to write about it.

I’ve done some research and lots of posts and links you can view HERE (click below if you’re not already in this section)

Gulf Spill still Destroying

We’re coming up on the second anniversary of the BP spill, and the specter of that flaming rig, oiled pelicans, and a sullied Gulf seems to be dimming by the day. Unless, of course, you happened to have your life ruined by the disaster; in that case, it’s not as easy to watch the BP-sponsored TV ads that paint the region as back to its happy, sunny self and assume the hardship is over.

Bloomberg News has a great roundup of the myriad ways that the fallout from the catastropher is still deeply impacting the Gulf economy. Businesses, especially those in the seafood industry, have been ruined. The oyster market has been “destroyed”. Fishermen and distributors must trawl further than ever for shrimp, populations of which have been wiped out.

Tourism took a hit during the year of the spill, but has since fared better. 2010, in fact, was New Orleans’ best year for tourism since Hurricane Katrina hit the city five years before.

BP has been charged with so many counts of wrongdoing that I’m sure the Bloomberg report merely scratches the surface. This kind of thing is typical:

BP rutted nine miles of fragile shoreline with earth-moving equipment and altered erosion patterns with sandbag dams and sheet-metal pilings intended to keep oil out of the marshes … The coastal ecosystem is both a marine-life nursery and critical physical barrier protecting Louisiana’s “underbelly” from hurricane storm surges, according to court papers.

The manager of that beachfront property is suing BP—because the company never bothered to come back and clean up the mess it left. Elsewhere, BP has abandoned cleanup altogether, giant tar balls are still washing ashore, and complaints appear to be falling on deaf ears. In the most egregious case, BP has refused to address the claims of one of the workers who nearly lost his life in the rig explosion, which shattered his knee and covered him in severe burns.

Reading over the whole Bloomberg report really is worthwhile—it’s a stirring reminder of the scars left by reckless drilling and corporate malfeasance.

Repsol gana 5% con ‘Fracking’ Argentina

Repsol YPF amenaza con el ‘fracking’ una región argentina.

Con el truco de declarar ‘nuevos’ depósitos que podrían ser explotados con la nueva técnica de ‘fracking’ Repsol ha ganado 5% en valor, no sé cuantos milion. No les importa que ‘fracking’ envenena permanentement el acuífer.

Pero los depositos de hydrocarburos ya conocidas son más que suficientes para llevar el Cambio Climático al límite absoluto de +2·C , así que

las prospecciones de Repsol son crimenes masivos contra el futuro de la tierra, denegando una vida a nuestros hij*s y condenando miles o miliones de especies maravilosas a la extinción.

| LA MULTINACIONAL ASEGURA QUE ES LA MAYOR RESERVA DE PETRÓLEO Y GAS EXISTENTE

 Repsol-YPF ha anunciado que ha encontrado las mayores reservas halladas hasta ahora de petróleo y gas situadas en la Patagonia argentina. La noticia ha sido recibida con preocupación entre las organizaciones ecologistas y sociales del país porque para la extracción se va a emplear la técnica del ‘fracking’ (fractura hidráulica), que genera contaminación de tierras y acuíferos.

Diego Pérez Roig / Observatorio Petrolero Sur. Buenos Aires (Argentina)

A principios de noviembre Repsol- YPF anunció el que podría ser el mayor “hallazgo” de petróleo y gas de su historia. Según estimaciones de la empresa, en los 428 kilómetros cuadrados de Loma de la Lata –Patagonia argentina–, habría recursos de petróleo y gas, técnica y económicamente explotables, equivalentes a 927 millones de barriles de petróleo.

De acuerdo a diversos medios de comunicación, en la zona ya se encuentran trabajando 15 equipos de perforación, y los pozos de shale oil realizados alcanzan niveles de extracción que rondan los 5.000 barriles por día. La explotación de este yacimiento de petróleo y gas se va a llevar a cabo con la técnica del fracking, (fractura de roca por presión hidráulica) que cuenta con importantes denuncias por las consecuencias ecológicas que genera.

El “descubrimiento” tiene vinculación directa con el hecho de que en diciembre de 2010 Repsol-YPF y la presidenta Cristina Fernández presentaron el hallazgo de 4,5 trillones de pies cúbicos de gas no convencional, y en líneas generales, con un listado de rimbombantes anuncios que se inscriben en un proceso generalizado de expansión territorial de la frontera hidrocarburífera.

Voces críticas han puntualizado el hecho de que en Loma de la Lata –como en otras áreas– se conoce desde hace años la existencia de estructuras geológicas con recursos no convencionales, gracias a las inversiones de riesgo hechas por la YPF estatal durante décadas. Por lo tanto, más que de un “descubrimiento”, tendríamos que hablar de una recategorización de reservas “posibles” a “probadas”, cuyo propósito sería revalorizar a la compañía –en estos días sus acciones subieron más de un 5%–, para una posterior venta.

Ya Existe carburante ‘Zero-CO2′ (NH3). Boicoteado por el Capitalismo.

Funciona como gasolina pero más barato y emite ZERO CO2. Hecho de solo aire, agua y electricidad
Hace 100 años que se sabe producirlo, con el método de hacer fertilizante.
Hoy se hace con Gas Natural, pero se puede producir muy bien con electricidad de fuentes renovables y aún más barato con una nueva sistema (SSAS).
El ‘Gas Verde ha sido usado durante 100 años ya. Está ignorado hoy solo para proteger el petroleo y las corporaciones capitalistas que controlan el mercado.
 De hecho se puede producir el Gas Verde NH3 muy bien de forma decentralizado, o con el molino de viento del barrio
 Se cambia en liquido a poco presión, no explota y es poco peligroso. Huele fatal, eso si, pero se mantiene tapado. Es ideal para guardar energía de sistemas solares para usar cuando no hay.
No hay dinero para comercializar el GAS VERDE, mientras se da todavía subsidios bilionarios a la industria petrolera

Que crimen que tenemos que destruir el planeta cuando siempre ha existido la opción de carburante sin CO2!

 falta traducir más…ayuda!Ya Existe carburante ‘Zero-CO2′ (NH3). Boicoteado por el Capitalismo.

Greedy climate politicians trash the World

greedy politicians doom our children

The latest climate Talks in Durban are set to be an obscene farce as countries vie to be the greediest, stupidest, cruelest and most destructive. We need a revolution NOW, since the Nation States  REFUSE to adopt any reformist solutions, in the name of humanity and the millions of other species threatened with extinction…lets Occupy the Environment

Not content with burying the remains of the Kyoto Protocol the proposal is to  DO NOTHING until at least 2015.

Both India and the now anti environment Brazilians have joined the criminal USA, Japan and Russian delegations in demanding a ”period of reflection”. Meanwhile a ”scientific” study has been trotted out to prove the threat is slightly less imminent.

(The only one in 100′s to say this, and based on dodgy estimates from the last ice age, and highlighted by the BBC).  Quite enough for everyone to deny what’s staring us in the face, and turn up the air conditioning in their SUV monsters on the way to the Mall.

Okay the 1% are the worst, but the entire western middle class are now in collective denial, as even the most moderate, progressive and job  creating Climate Mitigation  Initiatives are willfully cut. Now our political masters have seen there is power and money for them in promoting

Climate Change Denial Syndrome, and developing countries have seen that the US is incapable of change.

Let’s hope people have a change of heart, and soon. All the alternatives exist now, only the political will is lacking.

For instance CO2 free fuel could be on the streets in a question of months..see HERE  http://thefreeonline.wordpress.com/category/ammonia-nh3-co2-free-fuel/

Discovery Channel BANS Climate Change News

Discovery Channel has stated that it was taking out the last episode due to ‘scheduling conflicts’, but others believe the channel is cutting the episode ‘On Thin Ice’ because it deals directly with the impacts of global warming on the Arctic and Antarctic.

My bet is that Discovery and other channels were yet again quietly bought off by the Climate Change Deniers, financed by the swill of 100s of billions profit made by the criminal oil companies every year, while paying NONE of the costs to the  climate, environment and pollution caused ill health and deaths which they caused.

And the US is not alone, around one third of the networks to air the series worldwide have opted on accepting the series from the BBC without the last episode.

“It’s a bit like pressing the stop button on Titanic just as the iceberg appears,” a representative with Greenpeace told The Telegraph. “Climate change is the most important part of the polar story, the warming in the Arctic can’t be denied, it’s changing the environment there in ways that are making experts fearful for the future.”

There is a cheap, CO2 and pollution free alternative to oil, at least for transport, suppressed by the oil companies.. That’s NH3 fuel, check it out here.  http://thefreeonline.wordpress.com/category/ammonia-nh3-co2-free-fuel/

London Buses could be pollution and CO2 free for $37m. report

NH3 Cost benefit analysis 1. draft report

Conversion of London Buses to zer0 % of CO2 and toxic gas emissions.

London Buses manages one of the largest bus networks in the world. Approximately 7,500 iconic red buses carry more than six million passengers each weekday on a network serving all parts of Greater London.

Carbon emissions (approx) = 1.3kg per kilometer  www.carbonindependent.org/sources_bus.htm -

London buses covered 468m km in 2008  http://www.tfl.gov.uk/…pdf

468m km X 1.3kg =  608.4million kg p.a…. that`s about 608,400 tons of  CO2 a year saved converting to CO2 free fuel!

Motor conversion costs.

Converting a Vehicle to run on Ammonia (NH3)

How does an ammonia dual fueled vehicle work?  ”Any internal combustion engine can be converted to run on NH3. The simplest implementation of the dual fueled ammonia vehicle conversion is physically similar to a compressed natural gas vehicle conversion. A new on-board tank holds liquid ammonia at only about 150 PSI. Regulators, valves and an electronic control system meter the flow of ammonia to the engine as needed after the engine is started and warmed up on gasoline, ethanol etc. A small amount of gasoline is used to idle the engine, then as the load is increased the additional energy is provided by adding ammonia. This is all handled automatically by the engine control electronic module.”  fuller details HERE  http://www.greennh3.com/converting-to-nh3/

Converting diesel and petrol engines to run on NH3 is a proven technology and is  relatively simple and inexpensive, and motors have a longer life,( Hydrogen Engine Center, who make NH3 fueled internal combustion engines and gense)

Approx costs between 2 and 5 thousand dollars per diesel bus, let’s say $5,000 to be safe. Purpose built engines would cost similar to normal ones. To convert the entire fleet (except for the 3 immensely expensive hydrogen buses) comes to 7497 X 5000  =    $37, 48 5,000… That’s only $37.5m

To put that figure in context, the mayor of London claimed in 2011 to be spending 250m pounds a year in air pollution control measures.

The ‘New London Bus’, due out  in Feb 2012, will cost 2.27m pounds each!  http://www.boriswatch.co.uk/2010/02/05/new-bus-for-london-costs-shoot-up/So for just 15 of these  wonderful new buses you could convert the whole fleet of 7500 to fuel 100% free of CO2 and toxic gas! ( We can’t believe this either.. please check our sums, we can’t find the mistake!)

Any reputable motor engineering company could be commissioned to do these conversions . University of Michigan NH3 Truck,

Fuel costs

Latest estimates put NH3 fuel costs, calculated to take into account different kilometers per liter rates, are slightly higher than current diesel prices (2011). This price comparison varies with production methods (set to fall with new technology coming on line), and oil prices (sure to rise). The storage and transport networks already exist (NH3 is the base of fertilizers) but would need to be extended but this cost would be paid by the producers who stand to profit.  However it would be wise to invest some of the millions saved (About $450m year in health costs alone!) in production of the extra NH3 needed with the latest -cracking-  renewable energy facilities now coming on line. Transport costs are much less than for oil based products as NH3 can be produced wherever the greatest demand exists.

Production

This diagram is the JACKPOT for those really seeking an answer to CO2 and Climate Change. An 'off the shelf' NH3 production process is CO2 free and makes a fuel that is also Co2 free and produces no toxic gases when burnt. Available from http ://www.protonchemie.com/NFUEL.html

At present NH3 is produced from Natural Gas, producing CO2. But running combustion engines on NH3 made from Natural Gas  would by our estimate produce less than 50% of the CO2 emitted using oil based products.

In any case this technology is obsolete, new operational plants produce NH3 fuel from just air, water and electricity, and are ideal for cheap production with renewables.  Plants can be equally efficient whether tiny or enormous and be situated anywhere there is air and water, and electricity, preferably  sun, wind or hydro.  info here..Freedom Fertilizer Wind to Ammonia Project

Even if the NH3 were made with Gas, Oil or Nuclear produced electricity the savings would be huge, in CO2 and in Oil dependency, but above all in clean air.. NH3 motors produce zero toxic gases as well as zero CO2, in fact you’re burning the hydrogen contained in it.

Savings in Climate Change Mitigation

‘Runaway’ Climate Change is now virtually certain with irreversible effects and incalculable costs.  Indeed the very concept of money costs may become meaningless in the context of  the consequent  fall of Human Civilization. Converting networks like London Buses to Zero CO2  and toxic gas emissions at a low cost would have a huge knock on effect worldwide. In the unlikely case that CO2 emissions could therefore be contained the savings would also be incalculable. We estimate savings at 500Trillion p.a. for 100 years  to neutralize excess CO2. Savings on the costs of Climate Change therefore vary  between zero, (if it’s already too late) and approx. 50,000 trillion euros/dollars if the knock on effect passed to all transport, including planes,  ships and cars going CO2 free. For the purpose of this study we can only guess the money value of Climate Change mitigation, placing it at a conservative $10 trillion (10.000 billion).

Safety

European standards for current NH3 production, transport and storage methods make accidents very few with hardly any injuries or deaths.. NH3 can’t explode and only burns at a very narrow temperature. As a gas it is dangerous and very smelly, but rises and disperses, being much lighter than air, so storage facilities have roof ventilation for safety.  see Here    NH3 Fuel risk analysis report carried out by Quest Consultants

Air Pollution Savings

In the case of London   An estimated 4,267 Londoners are dying prematurely each year because of long-term exposure to airborne pollution. (Boris Johnston 2010). Estimating London buses as a conservative 10% of those we have 426   people a year who would avoid an agonizing unnecessary and uncompensated death. A saving in cash terms of at least $150 million p.a.  allowing for lost years of work and medical costs . Then there are at least ten times that number who are frequently ill or permanently disabled due to air pollution, at an estimated cost of $300 million  p.a. just for the 10% caused by bus pollution. (Some estimates are up to 30% but that includes taxis and fleets.)

(A brilliant new study (2011) by  analyses a whole neighbourhood of Lancaster next to an industrial plant, with exact local pollution maps, distinguishing between toxicity from the factory and that from traffic exhausts. Read the Study here)

So we estimate the Savings in Air Pollution costs to be a minimum of $450 million every year,  not including the incalculable costs in avoidable human suffering.

How to use ‘Green Gasoline’

As a fuel NH3 is stored as a liquid in gas bottles,  like propane which is already widely used, only that NH3 liquifies at almost normal air pressure, so there is no danger of explosion. Cars would take two, bottles, and you exchange one at the petrol station when it runs out, instead of filling up.   Ammonia Fuel Network

You have a new carburetor box which controls exactly the ignition temperature and air mix necessary, and your motor will last longer. Your fuel should be cheaper than present day petrol, plus you have the pleasure of knowing you’re not destroying the planet for your children, or causing death and illness from air pollution.

‘Knock-On effect Savings

To all this we could add estimated hundreds of millions as a ‘knock on saving’ calculating the number of individuals who would have their vehicles converted to NH3 if London Buses ran on it and it were readily available.

Conclusions

We can see already from this preliminary study that London Buses could be cheaply and quickly converted to CO2 free fuel that also emits zero toxic gases. Such a move would convey immense prestige on the city and politicians responsible, as well as plenty of lucrative knock on effects, tourism, etc .

It would save the lives of about 426 Londoners a year.

It would save approx $450 million a year in air pollution costs alone.

It would directly cut CO2 emissions by approx 608,400 tons a year.

Converting the buses to run on NH3 would cost about $37.5m.. the cost of just 15 new buses

Direct fuel costs would be similar, or cheaper.

Why then is it not done?  Maybe because..

a) The immensely powerful oil and motor industry ‘own’ the corrupt and servile politicians., always receiving huge tax breaks and subsidies on top of their scandalous profits. In other words Capitalism. We cannot save the planet because it would tread on the toes of the 1%?

b) The oil industry has buried NH3 fuel and its supporters for over a century.

c) Just because nobody has done it. The oil companies cannot stop a determined push for change. If  hundreds of reformers  (LIKE YOU) were to start campaigning for NH3 fuel it could actually catch on.

This study was carried out to wake people up to the obvious advantages of NH3 fuel. It`s not scientific, but if the figures are even half way accurate it 1s important and explosive. Now it`s up to YOU to take it further. Or let this technology sleep for another 100 years!

This is it, a process that is CO2 free, which makes a fuel that’s also CO2 free when burned.
And it’s cheap and safer

Plus ALL combustion engines can be adapted to run on it.
Q E D… This is a viable answer to cut CO2 emissions by 30% plus (transport)
The rest is politics, capitalism, greed and criminal trashing of the planet.

Why NH3?

Our Mission

The mission of the NH3 Fuel Association is to promote the implementation of NH3 as an affordable, sustainable, carbon-free fuel for transportation and stationary power applications, thereby enhancing economic security, reducing fossil-fuel dependence, and helping save the environment.

Addiction to imported petroleum carries with it huge economic, environmental and security risks . The search for a domestically produced, economical and environmentally friendly fuel has led to one acceptable solution: anhydrous ammonia (NH3). Also known as “the other hydrogen” NH3 is the closest thing to a perfect transportation fuel.

• NH3 is an ultra-clean, energy-dense alternative liquid fuel.
• Along with hydrogen, NH₃ is the only fuel that does not produce any Greenhouse Gases (GHG) on combustion.
• Hydrogen combustion: 2H₂ + O₂ 2H₂O (water vapor)
• NH3 combustion: 4NH₃ + 3O₂ 2N₂ + 6H₂O (nitrogen and water vapor)

• Can be economically and safely stored and delivered in large quantities
• A sustainable, carbon-free fuel for back-up and ‘peaker’ eletricity capacity generation
• Will help free us from dependence on imported oil – fossil fuel

    NH3 is Available

• Current worldwide annual production is -130 million tons – primarily produced from natural gas and coal. China is the #1 producer at 30 million tons annually
• 20 million tons of NH3 and NH3-based fertilizers are consumed annually in the US as fertilizer (equivalent in energy to ~3.5 billion gallons of gasoline)
• Storage and delivery infrastructure of pipelines, barges, rail and truck already exists (3,000+ miles of pipeline in the US; retail outlets exist in practically every state, 800 outlets in Iowa alone)
• Can be produced cleanly from coal and natural gas with carbon sequestration, and also from biomass, renewable energy sources and nuclear power, using nitrogen from the air
• Can be recovered from agricultural animal waste
• Naturally produced in legumes (via nitrogenase bacteria)
• Is an alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, allowing NH3 vehicles to qualify for fleet sale

   NH3 is Low Cost

• Comparable to or lower in price than gasoline on an equal energy basis
• NH3 produced using renewable or nuclear source electricity will be stable in price and increasingly cheaper, per BTU, than fossil based fuels.

 NH3 is Environmentally Friendly and Safe

• Zero carbon, no resultant Greenhouse Gases (GHG) on combustion
• NOx is easily neutralized (NH₃ is used as the active chemical reactant in NOx reduction, and CO₂ and SO₂ capture)
• If released NH3 in an accident NH3 is very difficult to ignite, is lighter than air (dissipates upwards), and its odor alerts
• NH3 is not a Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
• Will not damage the ozone layer

  The X-15 rocket plane set speed and altitude records in the 1960s powered by NH3. Wind-generated electricity can be locally converted to NH3 for fertilizer and fuel, without expansion of the electricity transmission grid.

NH3 pipelines and storage terminals cross the agricultural midsection of the United States – an example of existing infrastructure that allows low cost, safe distribution of NH3. Storage is in refrigerated, liquid, above-ground steel tanks. NH3 is also transported by a broad array of existing rail, ship, and truck transports.

What if we do not need to wait for the hydrogen future of the year 2030? What if our hydrogen future is within our grasp right now?

It is.

The one pollution free, hydrogen-based renewable fuel we could begin using today on a large scale is anhydrous ammonia, one of the most commonly synthesized chemical compounds on the planet. Anhydrous ammonia is already used worldwide as fertilizer for its nitrogen content, and delivered by a well-established and safe infrastructure. Due to its hydrogen content, anhydrous ammonia (NH3) can be used in both gas and diesel internal combustion engines with minor modifications, can be used in direct ammonia fuel cells, and can provide hydrogen feedstock for standard hydrogen fuel cells…..

At the same time, improved technologies are coming on-line including lower cost electrolyzers and an approach called solid-state ammonia synthesis (SSAS), which makes ammonia without making hydrogen as an interim step.Even with the existing electrolyzer and Haber-Bosch process, ammonia is cost competitive with gasoline retailing at prices above $3 per gallon.

Ammonia has a long and successful history as a substitute for petroleum based fuels……

Of course, ammonia is not without its challenges. Ammonia is an inhalation hazard and must be handled with respect. But, the world ammonia industry produces and delivers 130 million tons a year with an exemplary safety record. About 20 million tons of ammonia is consumed in the U.S. annually, largely as fertilizer, and delivered by truck, rail, barge, and 3,000 miles of small-diameter, underground carbon steel pipeline in the U.S. agricultural heartland. Ammonia is not classified as a flammable liquid by the DOT, and does not have the fire and explosion hazard of gasoline, natural gas, propane, or hydrogen. Although hazardous when inhaled, it is lighter than air and disperses into the atmosphere when released, and without residual harmful effects. Ammonia is not a greenhouse gas, and does not attack the ozone layer.

For ammonia to be in wide use as a transportation fuel, design standards for on-board ammonia fuel tanks must be established as well as procedures for ammonia transfer from storage to vehicle tanks, however much of this work is already in place…..

The best features of ammonia are those it shares with hydrogen: it can be used both in internal combustion engines and in fuel cells, it produces no greenhouse gasses on combustion, and it can be produced from a wide variety of renewable energy resources…..

If hydrogen is the answer to the energy challenge of peak oil, then there is absolutely no reason to wait. The better hydrogen future is ready right now with proven

Developing new carbon fuels will KILL US ALL

technology, from production and distribution to storage and engine modification.

‘Gasoline’ 100% free of CO2 and pollutants Exists NOW

     For nearly 100 years we have been forced to use petroleum, causing environmental devastation, runaway climate change and the agonizing deaths of countless millions of us through air pollution.

Now at last, with Climate Chaos becoming a daily reality, people are starting to  ‘discover’ that a CO2, NOx and SOx FREE alternative has existed all along.

We are doing a micro campaign on this blog in favour of this  CO2-free fuel. It’s a reformist solution, but one that’s available NOW

The criminal oil industry wants to close blogs like this, afraid prices would collapse if we started making NH3 car fuel.. locally with just wind, air and water

Please can you help? We need lots of free publicity and to persuade ‘respectable’ blogs, magazines, etc to write about it.

I’ve done some research and lots of posts and links you can view HERE (click below if you’re not already in this section)

http://thefreeonline.wordpress.com/category/co2-free-fuel-exists-try-nh3/

     NH3 is the closest thing to a perfect transportation fuel.

• NH3 is an ultra-clean, energy-dense alternative liquid fuel.
• Along with hydrogen, NH₃ is the only fuel that does not produce any Greenhouse Gases (GHG) on combustion.
• NH3 combustion: 4NH₃ + 3O₂ 2N₂ + 6H₂O (nitrogen and water vapor)

    NH3 is Practical

• The first utilization of liquid NH3 as a fuel for motor-buses took place in Belgium during 1943. The motor-bus fleet logged 1,000′s of miles during WWII.
• 18% hydrogen by weight
• NH3 is a liquid fuel at ambient temperatures and moderate pressures (~125 psi)
• NH3 has 52% of the energy density of gasoline, and is over 50% more energy dense per gallon than cryogenic liquid hydrogen
• Can be used to drive fuel cells, and fuel internal combustion engines (ICE) and combustion turbines
• Converting gasoline and diesel ICEs to run on NH3 is relatively straightforward
• Can be economically and safely stored and delivered in large quantities
• A sustainable, carbon-free fuel for back-up and ‘peaker’ eletricity capacity generation
• Will help free us from dependence on imported oil – fossil fuel

Now available. Produces cheap CO2 and NOx -free fuel by a method also CO2-free.

Blueprint for ‘gasoline’ 100% free of CO2, NOx, SOx

I found it, thanks to   Proton Ventures   http
://www.protonchemie.com/NFUEL.html
This is it, a process that is CO2 free, which makes a fuel that’s also CO2 free when burned.
And it’s cheap and safer
 than petroleum. Free also of NOx and SOx pollution that KILLS millions of us
Plus ALL combustion engines can be adapted to run on it.
Q E D… This is a viable answer to cut CO2 emissions by 30% plus (transport)
The rest is politics, capitalism, greed and criminal trashing of the planet.

Why NH3?

Our Mission

The mission of the NH3 Fuel Association is to promote the implementation of NH3 as an affordable, sustainable, carbon-free fuel for transportation and stationary power applications, thereby enhancing economic security, reducing fossil-fuel dependence, and helping save the environment.

Addiction to imported petroleum carries with it huge economic, environmental and security risks . The search for a domestically produced, economical and environmentally friendly fuel has led to one acceptable solution: anhydrous ammonia (NH3). Also known as “the other hydrogen” NH3 is the closest thing to a perfect transportation fuel.

• NH3 is an ultra-clean, energy-dense alternative liquid fuel.
• Along with hydrogen, NH₃ is the only fuel that does not produce any Greenhouse Gases (GHG) on combustion.
• Hydrogen combustion: 2H₂ + O₂ 2H₂O (water vapor)
• NH3 combustion: 4NH₃ + 3O₂ 2N₂ + 6H₂O (nitrogen and water vapor)

    NH3 is Practical

• The first utilization of liquid NH3 as a fuel for motor-buses took place in Belgium during 1943. The motor-bus fleet logged 1,000′s of miles during WWII.
• 18% hydrogen by weight
• NH3 is a liquid fuel at ambient temperatures and moderate pressures (~125 psi)
• NH3 has 52% of the energy density of gasoline, and is over 50% more energy dense per gallon than cryogenic liquid hydrogen
• Can be used to drive fuel cells, and fuel internal combustion engines (ICE) and combustion turbines
• Converting gasoline and diesel ICEs to run on NH3 is relatively straightforward
• Can be economically and safely stored and delivered in large quantities
• A sustainable, carbon-free fuel for back-up and ‘peaker’ eletricity capacity generation
• Will help free us from dependence on imported oil – fossil fuel

    NH3 is Available

• Current worldwide annual production is -130 million tons – primarily produced from natural gas and coal. China is the #1 producer at 30 million tons annually
• 20 million tons of NH3 and NH3-based fertilizers are consumed annually in the US as fertilizer (equivalent in energy to ~3.5 billion gallons of gasoline)
• Storage and delivery infrastructure of pipelines, barges, rail and truck already exists (3,000+ miles of pipeline in the US; retail outlets exist in practically every state, 800 outlets in Iowa alone)
• Can be produced cleanly from coal and natural gas with carbon sequestration, and also from biomass, renewable energy sources and nuclear power, using nitrogen from the air
• Can be recovered from agricultural animal waste
• Naturally produced in legumes (via nitrogenase bacteria)
• Is an alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, allowing NH3 vehicles to qualify for fleet sale

   NH3 is Low Cost

• Comparable to or lower in price than gasoline on an equal energy basis
• NH3 produced using renewable or nuclear source electricity will be stable in price and increasingly cheaper, per BTU, than fossil based fuels.

 NH3 is Environmentally Friendly and Safe

• Zero carbon, no resultant Greenhouse Gases (GHG) on combustion
• NOx is easily neutralized (NH₃ is used as the active chemical reactant in NOx reduction, and CO₂ and SO₂ capture)
• If released NH3 in an accident NH3 is very difficult to ignite, is lighter than air (dissipates upwards), and its odor alerts
• NH3 is not a Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
• Will not damage the ozone layer

  The X-15 rocket plane set speed and altitude records in the 1960s powered by NH3. Wind-generated electricity can be locally converted to NH3 for fertilizer and fuel, without expansion of the electricity transmission grid.

NH3 pipelines and storage terminals cross the agricultural midsection of the United States – an example of existing infrastructure that allows low cost, safe distribution of NH3. Storage is in refrigerated, liquid, above-ground steel tanks. NH3 is also transported by a broad array of existing rail, ship, and truck transports.

What if we do not need to wait for the hydrogen future of the year 2030? What if our hydrogen future is within our grasp right now?

It is.

The one pollution free, hydrogen-based renewable fuel we could begin using today on a large scale is anhydrous ammonia, one of the most commonly synthesized chemical compounds on the planet. Anhydrous ammonia is already used worldwide as fertilizer for its nitrogen content, and delivered by a well-established and safe infrastructure. Due to its hydrogen content, anhydrous ammonia (NH3) can be used in both gas and diesel internal combustion engines with minor modifications, can be used in direct ammonia fuel cells, and can provide hydrogen feedstock for standard hydrogen fuel cells…..

At the same time, improved technologies are coming on-line including lower cost electrolyzers and an approach called solid-state ammonia synthesis (SSAS), which makes ammonia without making hydrogen as an interim step.Even with the existing electrolyzer and Haber-Bosch process, ammonia is cost competitive with gasoline retailing at prices above $3 per gallon.

Ammonia has a long and successful history as a substitute for petroleum based fuels……

Of course, ammonia is not without its challenges. Ammonia is an inhalation hazard and must be handled with respect. But, the world ammonia industry produces and delivers 130 million tons a year with an exemplary safety record. About 20 million tons of ammonia is consumed in the U.S. annually, largely as fertilizer, and delivered by truck, rail, barge, and 3,000 miles of small-diameter, underground carbon steel pipeline in the U.S. agricultural heartland. Ammonia is not classified as a flammable liquid by the DOT, and does not have the fire and explosion hazard of gasoline, natural gas, propane, or hydrogen. Although hazardous when inhaled, it is lighter than air and disperses into the atmosphere when released, and without residual harmful effects. Ammonia is not a greenhouse gas, and does not attack the ozone layer.

For ammonia to be in wide use as a transportation fuel, design standards for on-board ammonia fuel tanks must be established as well as procedures for ammonia transfer from storage to vehicle tanks, however much of this work is already in place…..

The best features of ammonia are those it shares with hydrogen: it can be used both in internal combustion engines and in fuel cells, it produces no greenhouse gasses on combustion, and it can be produced from a wide variety of renewable energy resources…..

If hydrogen is the answer to the energy challenge of peak oil, then there is absolutely no reason to wait. The better hydrogen future is ready right now with proven

Developing new carbon fuels will KILL US ALL

technology, from production and distribution to storage and engine modification. An aggressive program to use wind and solar power to generate this carbon-free fuel can create a sea of change in our energy policy. Ammonia fuel is not the one single answer to peak oil, because there is no single answer. But as an existing implementable strategy to cut greenhouse gases, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and create new green collar jobs, ammonia is the stepping stone to the hydrogen future that up until now seemed decades away. ….

New Zealand: Oil disaster on Tauranga reef

New Zealand said it was preparing for an environmental disaster Friday as a container ship stranded off the North Island threatened to break up and spill oil into the pristine Bay of Plenty.

Source: Supplied by John Mathieson Rena, the ship stranded off the coast of Tauranga after striking the Astrolabe Reef

The 47,000 tonne container vessel “Rena”, which hit a reef off the coast of Tauranga earlier this week, has already created an oil slick more than five-kilometres (three miles) long that has killed a number of seabirds.

But the pollution would be far worse if the ship broke up on the Astrolabe Reef, releasing the 1,700 tonnes of heavy fuel oil on board into a marine environment that is home to whales, dolphins, seals and penguins.

Environment Minister Nick Smith told Fairfax Media the accident “has the potential to be New Zealand’s most significant maritime pollution disaster in decades”.

Oiled seabirds have already been found dead close to the Rena and more birds have been spotted in the water, covered in oil.

Corexit 9500 sprayed on the water to disperse the oil – it essentially means never cleaning up the oil

Response teams have so far been unable to deploy oil booms to contain the spill. The response so far as been to use a dispersant called Corexit  9500 – which is being sprayed on the water to disperse the oil. Corexit is the same chemical used in the Gulf of

Tauranga

Mexico to deal with the oil from BP’s Deepwater Horizon spill.

Wind to blow away Nukes in Japan?

Maybe the horrific Fukushima disaster will finally make the Japanese  embrace renewable energy?. Has a major technological breakthrough in Japan created a new generation of wind turbines that finally destroy the claims by the nuclear lobby that renewables can’t match their dangerous and dirty radioactive power?

IF the designers are right, the implications are immense. If we were to be conservative and say that all it does is double the output this really could be the end of any of those arguments about the cost of nuclear actually being cheaper than renewables (Ask the workers and local people at Fukushima how they define cost) Wind generation would be closer to those claims we heard all those years ago about nuclear (that it would be too cheap to meter). In the video below a single offshore wind farm using the turbines would be equivalent to an entire nuclear plant. Think of the 8 new nuclear power plants planned for the UK replaced by 8 offshore windfarms with the benefit of no nuclear waste to bury or plants to decommission.
Wouldn’t it be something if nature herself destroyed capitalism before it destroyed her.

In addition there is no great paradigm shift involved if we were to propose that the very expensive tar sands extraction and fracking would not get a look in. Just a quiet woosh of spinning turbines.
But the real deal is how the argument stands up for capitalism. This could be divisive, major fossil and nuclear companies with their dirty fingers in all the pies, could not compete with companies pushing the new wind farms, they would either have to embrace it themselves or suffer the consequences, but either way the Military-Industrial (Fossil Fuel, Nuclear, War) Complex (as David Schwartzman calls it) that sustains capitalism would wither. Perhaps an example of how the market  (for a change) could work in our favour.

Wind power can make CO2 free and pollution free ‘gasoline’.

Al Gore leads charge against Deniers..again.

corporate media control imposes climate denial syndrome

Al Gore is stepping up the charge with a new initiative: The Climate Reality Project. It kicks off with 24 hours of presentations, staggered across 24 time zones, on September 14, 2011.

The point, Gore explains in the introductory video above, is to show that the “new normal”—characterized by increasing instances of severe storms, drought, and an overall higher global temperature—is anything but ordinary.

“Yet around the world,” he says, “we are still subjected to polluter-financed misinformation and propaganda designed to mislead people about the dangers we face from the unfolding climate crisis. Those who want to protect their own short-term financial interest are employing the same strategy first used by tobacco companies years ago to mislead the public about the science linking cigarettes to disease and death.”

9/11,climate,fracking.. The ailing Empire of Designer Lies

“It is deeply disconcerting that the oil industry not only has a swarm of lobbyists here in Washington, as well as in all the state legislatures where decisions about drilling are made, they’ve also got

'truth' is one more designer product

multimillion dollar advertising campaigns and think tanks”

Meanwhile a horde of ultra right wing bloggers, half of them fascists, religious fanatics or  ‘Bots for the Kochs’, have infested the internet, so you can’t believe anything there either.

For the similar reasons the US is the only country in the world where most people REFUSE TO BELIEVE in Climate Change that has been proven millions of times.

Anything but corporate profit is false by definition. Scientific proof is routinely trashed.

While FRACKING is being banned on health grounds in European countries “The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is issuing a permit every two to 30 minutes, without having any idea what this could mean for the community or the environment,” Lo Basso stressed.

“The DEP’s own website has recorded 11 violations by gas companies each day, yet there is no regulation of the process.” According to FWW, 15 million people rely on the Delaware River Basin for their fresh drinking water.

Even the ‘Democratic’ president is able to dismiss Clean Air laws that could have saved about 40,000 lives a year, (of the 120,000 US air pollution deaths a year due to the ‘free ride’ of Big Oil, if we accept the World Health Org. estimates).

According to ‘accepted’ US figures only 7,000 will be ‘affected’  (that is, killed).

Its high time states (like maybe  California) stood up to all this  Corporate madness .

One example would be to break with Big Oil and  introduce CO2 free fuel…

Pollution deaths:new techniques unmask Oil criminals.

Professor Barbara Maher from the Lancaster Environment Centre, Catherine Moore from the University of East Anglia and Dr Juergen Matzka from the Danish Meteorological Institute analysed roadside tree leaves from a dual carriageway with 30,000 vehicles a day. They found that concentrations of lead and iron particles were highest at the height of a small child – 0.3m, posing some health risk at any level of exposure, particularly with regard to brain and kidney damage, hearing impairment and cognitive development in children.

Cheap tests on leaf traces can now show exact local pollution levels, and can prove the the exact source and composition of the invisible toxic chemical cocktail of NOx and SOx we live in.

Soon victims and their families will be able to take Court cases against polluting industries and the oil and vehicle industries.

In the UK about 40,000 people p.a. die as ‘extra deaths’ caused by air pollution, and the WHO gives a figure of 2,400,000  deaths a year world wide.

All these and the countless ill and disabled are due compensation from the greedy capitalists who use this technology KNOWING FULL WELL THAT POLLUTION FREE ALTERNATIVES EXIST (See below).

A team led by Dr Barbara Maher at Lancaster University have developed and proven a technique  which measures pollution levels precisely by the resulting magnetism on plants. The results are surprising, just a few metres from a road separates a lethal and a breathable atmosphere.. Kids in prams are much more exposed than adults standing up.

Exact pollution maps could now be drawn and simple ‘pollution shields’ and hedges erected 

Read more .here

Now a brilliant new study (2011) by Hansard and Maher analyses a whole neighbourhood of Lancaster next to an industrial plant, with exact local pollution maps, distinguishing between toxicity from the factory and that from traffic exhausts. 

Read the Study here

And now the popular BBC science presenter Tom Heap has weighed in with an article in ‘Focus’ Sept 2011, entitled ‘The invisible assassins in the air laid bare’.

The next step  is to copy these methods, which promise to be relatively inexpensive, and combine the results with information on health effects of airborne hazards, to create the INDIVIDUAL POLLUTION DOSE for living in a particular spot.

From there we can link to people who have suffered or died  in that place from those symptoms , and get scientific information that could stand up in court, to finally start to MAKE THE CRIMINAL TOXIC POLLUTER PAY.

On this blog I’m promoting the CO2 free fuel, NH3, which gives off zero NOx and SOx gases or particles when burned. Amazingly this alternative is cheaper than petroleum and can easily be locally produced  with wind energy, air and water, and while hazardous, cannot explode. All internal combustion engines could easily be converted to run on NH3 , stored as a low pressure liquid in gas bottles.

Amazingly until now nobody is interested in such a green alternative, which has existed all along.

see many posts on CO2-free fuel  HERE .http://thefreeonline.wordpress.com/category/ammonia-nh3-co2-free-fuel/

Using petroleum and its derivatives we are paying just a small fraction of the real cost to the planet and humanity. If you include Climate Change and Air Pollution damage it’s  totally uneconomic as well as immoral.

Hopefully if thousands of people start taking  billion dollar Lawsuits, based on these new techniques for proving guilt, it could make green energy suddenly attractive.

Obama allows poison air massacre for Big Oil

If the 1-in-6 African-American kids with asthma could just hold their breath until 2013, they should be fine.

In his latest attack on the environment, President Barack Obama today announced that he is directing the EPA to withdraw standardsthat would have cut smog pollution from automobiles, power plants, and refineries. Obama might want to consider that wheezing kids, no jobs, and caving to Big Oil do not a reelection make.

The standards Obama blocked could have saved up to 120,000 lives by 2020,  and slashed tens of thousands of children’s asthma attacks and other respiratory problems. The environmental justice organization Green for All summed it up when it tweeted (referring to Obama’s delaying action on ozone until at least 2013, when he may be out of office):

More broadly, by blocking the smog standards, Obama is jettisoning one of the few remaining major job creation programs he can create without Congress. Notwithstanding oil industry propaganda, the EPA’s analysis shows that the smog rules would have created a whopping $17 billion in economic benefits — everything from health care savings from avoided asthma attacks to job creation in American-made pollution controls.

Obama’s decision has significant negative implications for the climate too — the ozone standards would have forced some switching away from coal and other dirty fuels to cleaner energy and a variety of conservation measures. This move will not be ignored in Beijing, New Delhi, Jakarta, and other cities looking for signals about American action on climate.

In other words, a great day for ExxonMobil, and a terrible day for America’s children and the planet

Tar Sands demos hotting up

10-Day Tar Sands Action at White House

Bill McKibben, environmentalist founder of 350.org (which spotlights former Obama “green jobs” czar Van Jones as one of its messengers), writes in the Washington Post that “more than a thousand people have signed up to be arrested over two weeks beginning Aug. 20 — the biggest display of civil disobedience in the environmental movement in decades and one of the largest nonviolent direct actions since the World Trade Organization demonstrations in Seattle back before Sept. 11.”

McKibben and 70 other protestors engaged in the Tar Sands Action were arrested Saturday, with another 45 arrested by Sunday afternoon. Protests will continue until September 3.

Endorsements for the Tar Sands Action come from the usual radical suspects, including US Climate Action Network, Institute for Policy Studies, Clean Air Watch, Credo Mobile, Healthcare-NOW!, Rainforest Action Network, Hip-Hop Caucus, Public Citizen, The Shalom Center, and 350.org.

eezed middle-class, the victims of war and the wounded Earth itself.”

The 350 in 350.org stands for parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere:

To preserve our planet, scientists tell us we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of 392 parts per million to below 350 ppm. But 350 is more than a number—it’s a symbol of where we need to head as a planet.

The spectre of runaway CO2 levels on the planet has radicals up in arms. They want POTUS to do something about it: “The issue is simple,” McKibben writes: “We want the president to block construction of Keystone XL, a pipeline that would carry oil from the tar sands of northern Alberta down to the Gulf of Mexico.”

We’re gearing up for Moving Planet, the massive global day of climate action coming up on September 24th. There will be events large and small, events bike-powered and solar-powered — and we’ll weave them all together into a single global story and a powerful call to action to demand true leadership on the climate crisis.

Plus, don’t forget two key future protest dates.

On September 17, the Occupy Wall Street radicals plan to set up camp on Wall Street using a page ripped from the 1960s in a 21st Century version of the Days of Rage. This will be followed by an encampment on October 6 in D.C.

this in is response to your post about that fracking article that in the independent.

I did a little researching and here are some interesting things I found out about how it prob got published even though it is BOLLOX.

One, The Independent is own by the O’Reilly family.
Two, Anthony O’Reilly Jr owns a gas company, that is currently mainly focused on off shore drilling. It’s called Providence.
Three, Turns out that Providence are working partners with company the author of the article works for.
“Providence operates Barryroe (50%) with partners San Leon Energy (30%) and Lansdowne Oil & Gas (20%)”

we’ll need 27 planet Earths by 2050,

Protecting bits of nature here and there will not prevent humanity from losing our life support system. Even if areas dedicated to conserving plants, animals, and other species that provide Earth’s life support system increased tenfold, it would not be enough without dealing with the big issues of the 21st century: population, overconsumption and inefficient resource use.

Without dealing with those big issues, humanity will need 27 planet Earths by 2050, a new study estimates.

The world population, currently at seven billion, is well beyond Earth’s ability to sustain. By 2050, with a projected population of 10 billion people and without a change in consumption patterns, the cumulative use of natural resources will amount to the productivity of up to 27 planet Earths, the study found.

Sustaining the current seven billion people on the planet requires a major shift in resource use. At present, the average U.S. citizen’s ecological footprint is about 10 hectares, while a Haitian’s is less than one. The planet could sustain us if everyone’s footprint averaged two ha, Mora said.

Another of the authors, Peter Sale from the Canadian Institute for Water, Health and the Environment, put it like this:
"We are just taking too much - managing forests in such as way as they degrade, same with coastal waters, and we have to stop doing this as a species.
"I don't have a solution - I have struggled for some time trying to think what is the way to get people to realise how important this is - but if we don't find it soon, the future is a very grim one.
"We're talking about losing 50% of species in the next half century - that's faster than any previous mass extinction event - and anybody who thinks we can go through a mass extinction and be perfectly fine is just deluding themselves."

THE SOLUTION To Over Consumption   (some notes)

Assuming that a World anti capitalist revolution is not going to happen right now… more’s the pity… It’s high time that radical environmental groups began to think REAL.

One step that could be taken is to stop using fossil fuels. A huge but not impossible task. Renewable energy is approaching the level where it’s ‘cheaper’ than using fossil fuels. A safer, CO2-free non polluting fuel for vehicles has always existed  SEE HERE  http://thefreeonline.wordpress.com/category/ammonia-nh3-co2-free-fuel/

But the root of the problem is the mad greed and superconsumption that is the basis of the universal capitalist system.

A common sense moral approach would be for example to sabotage a coal plant, an arms or car factory  etc.  This is already happening, on a very small scale. Check it out HERE,  http://thefreeonline.wordpress.com/category/prison   Such largely symbolic publicity actions maybe only benefits the competition and put people out of work, but if many thousands of people were to start doing it …

Blogging to the consciences of middle class youth is all fine and good, but Direct Action on a massive scale is now needed.

Another sane  and moderate  idea (since their actions are destroying the planet) would be to physically attack  investors and directors in the worst Corporations. Let them retreat already to the luxury bunkers they are urgently preparing. However the ‘ruling class’ have all the security forces on the planet just itching to pounce on anyone who ‘gets real’ in this way, and every media outlet ready to scream ‘terrorist’ for the next 20 years. Also the question of guilt is very relative, few really understand what they are doing, and all of us know we are participating in trashing the Earth…. cont/

Record oil profits, as they kill millions.. trash planet..

The World Health Organization states that 2.4 million people die each year from causes directly attributable to air pollution

The health effects caused by air pollution may include difficulty in breathing, wheezing, coughing and aggravation of existing respiratory and cardiac conditions. These effects can result in increased medication use, increased doctor or emergency room visits, more hospital admissions and premature death. The human health effects of poor air quality are far reaching, but principally affect the body’s respiratory system and the cardiovascular system. Individual reactions to air pollutants depend on the type of pollutant a person is exposed to, the degree of exposure, the individual’s health status and genetics.

A new economic study of the health impacts and associated costs of air pollution in the Los Angeles Basin and San Joaquin Valley of Southern California shows that more than 3800 people die prematurely (approximately 14 years earlier than normal) each year because air pollution levels violate federal standards. The number of annual premature deaths is considerably higher than the fatalities related to auto collisions in the same area, which average fewer than 2,000 per year.^[19]

Diesel exhaust (DE) is a major contributor

Diesel exhaust (DE) is a major contributor to combustion derived particulate matter air pollution. In several human experimental studies, using a well validated exposure chamber setup, DE has been linked to acute vascular dysfunction and increased thrombus formation.^[20][21] This serves as a plausible mechanistic link between the previously described association between particulate matter air pollution and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

BP made profits of $5.3bn (£3.2bn) in the three months to 30 June as higher oil prices offset lower production.

In the first quarter of 2011, BP made a profit of $5.5bn.

BP has sold $25bn worth of assets – partly to pay for the clean-up operation in the Gulf.

The oil firm’s chief executive, Bob Dudley has been criticised by some greedy immoral  investors for failing to increase production.

In May BP abandoned a proposed deal with Russian’s Rosneft to exploit oil reserves in the Arctic.

“Other companies have clearly re-defined their strategies over the last 12 to 24 months,” said Dougie Youngson a criminal oil analyst at Arbuthnot.

Exxonmobil continues to build it’s shale gas business in the US, wantonly destroying the biosphere and Shell is focussed on mega gas projects. What is BP doing?”

Rich fat investors have also suggested that the share price has not recovered sufficiently from the Gulf spill.

The  murdering oil companies pay NOTHING to the families of the 2.4 million dead from air pollution each year, caused largely by burning oil.

As long as profits continue they pay and care NOTHING for runaway Climate Change, already destroying the habitat of millions of people and animals, and set to devastate the whole planet.

In a few years, as climate chaos takes hold,  executives and investors from these oil companies will be spurned and pilloried, and jailed as mass killers and climate criminals.

Cheap viable alternatives have always existed  see link BELOW

When will the CEO’s and Corporate investors be arraigned for Crimes Against Humanity?

Change to NH3 fuel..Cheaper, safer, no CO2, no SOx, no NOx..

Recently I discovered that a CO2 -free fuel for internal combustion engines already exists and would be cheaper and less dangerous than petroleum products.

MUCH less dangerous as burning it produces no SOx, NOx , Carbon Monoxide etc which worldwide

cause hundreds of thousands of extra deaths from respiratory diseases every year.

WHY then don’t we use it?? Because the oil corporations have us hooked on their products.

I was inspired to publicize the existence of  NH3 fuel in a small way with this blog and Farcebook.

Incredibly when publicized as an Event there was little interest..MORE AGAINST THAN IN FAVOUR.

People cant believe it and see me as one more internet crank. The best response so far comes from Anne J., see below,

• i have visited your page, also followed the links that i could find, now need to research the claims before i can like or share, as i could not find a simple to understand explanation of how this technology works… as time is of the essence, doubling up my time when such a simple explanation probably already exists to enable understanding by everyday people (who do not hold chemical/mechanical engineering degrees) would see your page, and this technology, greater general public awareness.
  Warm regards

• REPLY….. TheFree Mikegilli

 

• thanks ANNE FOR YOUR SUGGESTION.. I didn’t realize this was an issue and will try to find such an explanation. however I fear that no matter how it is explained, nobody will listen to me, when lots of credible scientists have been ignored for so many years. One angle I thought of was appealing to people suffering respiratory illnesses linked to pollution from oil based motors.

What can I say.? The corporations and markets are lauding and rewarding a small army of influential Bloggers who ridicule scientific articles and evidence on anything that doesnt give them more short term profit, including NH3 fuel,  as well as promoting fracking and Tar Sands as another bonanza for greedy investors. For Example Geoffrey Styles’ article here http://thefreeonline.wordpress.com/2011/07/10/ex-texaco-guru-relegates-co2-free-nh3/

NH3 fuel is a reformist proposal, (we really need a world revolution), but it could save millions of lives and be a key element in preventing catastrophic climate change. All it needs is a few thousand activists to seriously promote the idea.

Greg's CO2-free ammonia cars

All I can do here is reprint the Wikipedia article.

Ammonia as a Fuel

Ammonia was used during World War II to power buses in Belgium, and in engine and solar energy applications prior to 1900. Liquid ammonia was used as the fuel of the rocket airplane, the X-15. Although not as powerful as other fuels, it left no soot in the reusable rocket engine and its density approximately matches the density of the oxidizer, liquid oxygen, which simplified the aircraft’s design.

Ammonia has been proposed as a practical alternative to fossil fuel for internal combustion engines.^[39] The calorific value of ammonia is 22.5 MJ/kg (9690 BTU/lb) which is about half that of diesel. In a normal engine, in which the water vapour is not condensed, the calorific value of ammonia will be about 21% less than this figure. It can be used in existing engines with only minor modifications to carburettors/injectors.

To meet these demands, significant capital would be required to increase present production levels. Although the second most produced chemical, the scale of ammonia production is a small fraction of world petroleum usage. It could be manufactured from renewable energy sources, as well as coal or nuclear power. It is however significantly less efficient than batteries.^{[citation needed]} The 60 MW Rjukan dam in Telemark, Norway produced ammonia via electrolysis of water for many years from 1913 producing fertilizer for much of Europe. If produced from coal, the CO₂ can be readily sequestered ^[39][40] (the combustion products are nitrogen and water). In 1981 a Canadian company converted a 1981 Chevrolet Impala to operate using ammonia as fuel.^[41][42]

Ammonia engines or ammonia motors, using ammonia as a working fluid, have been proposed and occasionally used.^[43] The principle is similar to that used in a fireless locomotive, but with ammonia as the working fluid, instead of steam or compressed air. Ammonia engines were used experimentally in the 19th century by Goldsworthy Gurney in the UK and in streetcars in New Orleans in the USA.

CO2 Tax in Australia..Hope at last!

AUSTRALIA
Renewable Energy Wins, Controversially
By Stephen de Tarczynski

MELBOURNE, Jul 14, 2011 (IPS) – Australia has taken a major step in reducing its future greenhouse gas output with the announcement of a plan that will initially place a tax on every tonne of carbon pollution produced by hundreds of the country’s major emitters.

“Most Australians now agree our climate is changing. This is caused by carbon pollution. This has harmful effects on our environment and on the economy and the government should act,” said Prime Minister Julia Gillard in a televised address to the nation on Jul.10, just hours after the full details of the carbon scheme had been revealed.

The tax is the first step in the design that proponents say will see Australia reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent on 2000 levels, an increase from the previous target of a 60 percent cut.

Australia is responsible for around 1.47 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, similar to Iran and France, according to 2005 data from the World Resources Institute, the latest year for which statistics are available. Yet on a per capita basis, Australians are the biggest polluters among developed nations.

Despite this, there remains heated debate about how – and even if – Australia should reduce its carbon output.

Protests against implementing a carbon price and questioning human-induced global warming have been held in numerous Australian cities over the past few months – albeit often opposed in other areas by larger rallies calling for far-reaching government action. Climate scientists at leading universities have reported receiving death threats and abusive telephone calls.

Coal is big business here, where around ten percent of the world’s reserves are located.

Australia is the fourth largest coal producer in the world – behind China, the United States and India – yet the most prolific exporter, supplying about 27 percent of global demand. The burning of coal at power stations also accounts for more than 83 percent of this country’s own electricity generation.

The carbon tax plan includes a commitment to close the larger coal-fired power plants by 2020

Tar-mageddon vs. Ammonia CO2-free fuel

Tarmeggedon

Free-thinking citizens of the world:
Anonymous’ Operation Green Rights calls your attention to an urgent situation in North America perpetuated by the boundless greed of the usual suspects: Exxon Mobil, ConocoPhillips, Canadian Oil Sands Ltd., Imperial Oil, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and many others.
This week, activists are gathering along U.S. Highway 12 in Montana to protest the transformation of a serene wilderness into an industrial shipping route, bringing “megaloads” of refinery equipment to the Alberta Tar Sands in Canada (see Tar Sands FAQ Sheet below).
Anonymous now joins the struggle against “Big Oil” in the heartland of the US. We stand in solidarity with any citizen willing to protest corporate abuse. Anonymous will not stand by idly and let these environmental atrocities continue. This is not the clean energy of the future that we are being promised.

We will, over the course of the next few days, use the powers we posses to spread news about this scenario and the corporations involved. We are actively seeking leaks to expose the corruption that we all KNOW is beneath this. Anonymous will support the activists on July 13-14 when they initiate civil disobedience and direct action to confront this dire issue. We urge you to get involved. Montana and Idaho citizens, we ask you to join local protests and attend the Highway 12 rally if you are close enough! If you’re not, join us in the IRC listed below for our own good times.
The continued development of the tar sands is a major step backward in the effort to curb global warming. Anonymous will not suffer this without a fight, and Operation Green Rights will always support the rights of the people to live in an unpolluted world, and aim to help safeguard it for the future. One way or another.

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.

The NH3 train.. emits ZERO CO2.. boycotted by Capitalism.

AMMONIA FUEL FOR RAIL TRANSPORTATION

Ammonia as  a Hydrogen Source

NH3 is a wonderful natural way of storing Hydrogen.. You don’t need special tanks or equipment that cost billions to develop and are impossible to maintain.

You just burn the hydrogen in the Ammonia, at the correct narrow temperature and air mix, and you can run a gasoline or diesel engine on it perfectly well, better in fact as the seals don’t wear out so fast…….WHILE EMITTING ZERO CO2 and contaminating gases!!

Here’s an internet  photo of  a brand new 100 ton  locomotive.. runs on ‘hydride storage’.. powered by….AMMONIA

”Essentially, the consortium is taking a two-pronged approach to the fuel storage and fuel production issue: on-board hydride storage and off-board hydrogen generation from ammonia. If generating hydrogen from ammonia, a fertilizer – something that has been advocated and/or tried repeatedly in past decades – proves economical and efficient, an onboard ammonia-based fueling system may evolve.” 

That is from their development report, but of course Ammonia engines have existed for 100 years!

Producing Ammonia uses electricity which, unless it’s from renewables, DOES emit CO2 and toxic gases. However NH3 production is well suited to renewable energy sources, and even if the fuel is made using Natural Gas it’s better than the electric train in that it needs no cables or sub station.

CO2-free NH3, from Rjukan waterfall,1913.

 NH3 fuel can be burned without producing CO2 or toxic gases, plus its cheaper and nearly as high powered as gasoline But right now its made with Natural Gas feedstock.. which DOES pollute and emit CO2. However NH3 is ideal for production with smaller scale renewable ‘green’ facilities. For example we can go right back to 1913, and climb up to the waterfall on the ice free fjord of Rjukan, where ‘green’ NH3 fertilizer was made for half the planet!

The 60 MW Rjukan dam in Telemark, Norway produced ammonia via electrolysis of water for many years from 1913 producing fertilizer for much of Europe at the Vemork power station at the Norsk H Rjukan waterfall in the Telemark province (state)

In the European and American race to develop a process for manufacturing artificial fertiliser, the Rjukanfossen waterfall was harnessed in 1911 to provide sufficient power to run Professor Kristian Birkeland’s electric arc method for separating nitrogen from air. This method was more effective than any other method tried at that time (Niagara 1903 etc.) and, following test runs at Notodden (1907), the method was seen as promising from an industrial perspective. 

Norsk Hydro[1], was formed and an urban community was created in the early 1900s in a poor and remote rural area. This involved a number of elements such as power stations, factories, residential areas, buildings for administrative and social purposes, as well as equipment for exporting calcium nitrate (Norges-salpeter, Norwegian saltpetre), a significant industrial product for agriculture worldwide.

Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH₃. It is normally encountered as a gas with a characteristic pungent odour. Ammonia contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a precursor to foodstuffs and fertilizers.

Greg’s CO2-free ammonia cars..30 years waiting

Here´s Greg Vezina of Hydrofuel Inc. with his Ammonia Car… still waiting after 30 years!

Despite being CO2-free  (even carbon negative according to Greg) and cheaper than petrol and finally gaining mass publicity the conversion kits still haven’t been mass produced. Car and oil corporations are still completely ignoring Ammonia fuel  (Green Gas NH3).

Adapting transport to NH3, which is readily available would save hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths a year through lung and cardiovascular diseases.  The deliberate suppression of the simple  (but not yet DIY) technology is a crime against humanity.

Record Climate change fires close ‘MAD’ H Bomb Base

Doug Tucker, Los Alamos fire chief: “We’re doing our best to keep it off the lab”

One of the top nuclear weapons research facilities in the US will remain closed until Thursday as fire fighters battle a wildfire raging at its boundary.Only “essential-duties” staff at Los Alamos National Laboratory will be permitted on site on Wednesday.Officials at the New Mexico facility have said they detected “no off-site releases of contamination”.The town outside the laboratory in the state of New Mexico was evacuated on Monday as the fire raged nearby.Officials said the nuclear facilities faced “no immediate threat” but warned of damage to houses.The lab, opened during World War II, led the development of the atomic bomb.

By late Monday, the Las Conchas fire had grown to 68 sq miles (176 sq km), burning through forests, canyons, and mesas, fuelled by dry timber and powered by strong winds.Authorities warned it could triple in size in the coming days, the Albuquerque Journal reported.The fire had reached the lab’s southwestern boundary and leapt a state road onto the land, burning roughly an acre, state fire officials said.

“No facilities face immediate threat, and all nuclear and hazardous materials are accounted for and protected,” officials said in a statement.

Officials described the evacuation of the town of Los Alamos as orderly and calm

The lab employs about 11,800 people, and about 12,000 people live in the town of Los Alamos.

“That’s the biggest threat we have right now to homes in the community,” Deputy Los Alamos County Fire Chief Mike Thompson told the Associated Press.

The southwestern US has been stricken by giant wildfires this year, with millions of acres scorched in New Mexico, Arizona and Texas.

To the west of New Mexico, the largest wildfire in the history of the state of Arizona has been burning for nearly a month.

NIGERIA: Daily disasters dwarf Gulf oil spill.

NIGERIA: Nigeria’s agony dwarfs the Gulf oil spill. The US and Europe ignore it by John Vidal, The Guardian (UK) May 30th, 2010

The Deepwater Horizon disaster caused headlines around the world, yet the people who live in the Niger delta have had to live with environmental catastrophes for decades.   A ruptured pipeline burns in a Lagos suburb after an explosion in 2008 which killed at least 100 people. Photograph: George Esiri/Reuters We reached the edge of the oil spill near the Nigerian village of Otuegwe after a long hike through cassava plantations. Ahead of us lay swamp. We waded into the warm tropical water and began swimming, cameras and notebooks held above our heads. We could smell the oil long before we saw it – the stench of garage forecourts and rotting vegetation hanging thickly in the air. The farther we travelled, the more nauseous it became. Soon we were swimming in pools of light Nigerian crude, the best-quality oil in the world. One of the many hundreds of 40-year-old pipelines that crisscross the Niger delta had corroded and spewed oil for several months. Forest and farmland were now covered in a sheen of greasy oil. Drinking wells were polluted and people were distraught. No one knew how much oil had leaked. “We lost our nets, huts and fishing pots,” said Chief Promise, village leader of Otuegwe and our guide. “This is where we fished and farmed. We have lost our forest. We told Shell of the spill within days, but they did nothing for six months.” That was the Niger delta a few years ago, where, according to Nigerian academics, writers and environment groups, oil companies have acted with such impunity and recklessness that much of the region has been devastated by leaks. In fact, more oil is spilled from the delta’s network of terminals, pipes, pumping stations and oil platforms every year than has been lost in the Gulf of Mexico, the site of a major ecological catastrophe caused by oil that has poured from a leak triggered by the explosion that wrecked http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=15592

Las petroleras matan 16.000 el año y reprimen el Green Gas NH3

España evitaría 16.000 de muertes el año por causas respiratorias y cardiovasculares adoptando el carburante Gas Verde (NH3), que además sale más barato y no emite CO2 al quemarse.

A sabiendas.. saben perfectamente que hay una alternativa limpia, la indústria petrolera sigue arrasando, y incluso reciben subsidios . Por supuesto pagan ZERO por los miles de afectados por la contaminacíon, ni la destrucción definitiva del delicado equilibrio climatico, sobre lo cual nuestra existencia misma depende.

Nada de esto es accidente. La technologia NH3 ha existido durante 100 años y sale mas barato. Buses en Belgium funcionaron perfectament con Gas Verde en los años 40! Tractores, Coches, Locomotores y hasta aviones de la NASA han funcionado con el carburante.

Ya es hora de denunciar por nombre y buscar las pruebas de la supresión del Gas Verde y la culpabilidad de las Corporaciones petroleras y automobilisticas en la muerte lenta y dolorosa de hasta un milion de personas el año en el mundo Un auténtico masacre por parte de estos criminales climáticos..

Benefits of Green NH3  (ammonia) over other fuels

• costs less and zero emissions
• helps reverse global warming
• no need to transport fuel (used where it is made)
• less truck pollution, traffic congestion and fuel tanker accidents.
• less need for oil wars ( oil is now not worth the fight )
• less chance of “oil” terrorism ( harder to attack a million wide spread green fuel machines than one or two oil refineries.)   ETC

Ya Existe carburante ‘Zero-CO2′ (NH3). Boicoteado por el Capitalismo.

June 27, 2011

Funciona como gasolina pero más barato y emite ZERO CO2. Hecho de solo aire, agua y electricidad

Hace 100 años que se sabe producirlo, con el método de hacer fertilizante.

Hoy se hace con Gas Natural, pero se puede producir muy bien con electricidad de fuentes renovables y aún más barato con una nueva sistema (SSAS).

El ‘Gas Verde ha sido usado durante 100 años ya. Está ignorado hoy solo para proteger el petroleo y las corporaciones capitalistas que controlan el mercado.

De hecho se puede producir el Gas Verde NH3 muy bien de forma decentralizado, o con el molino de viento del barrio

  Se cambia en liquido a poco presión, no explota y es poco peligroso. Huele fatal, eso si, pero se mantiene tapado. Es ideal para guardar energía de sistemas solares para usar cuando no hay.

No hay dinero para comercializar el GAS VERDE, mientras se da todavía subsidios bilionarios a la industria petrolera

Que crimen que tenemos que destruir el planeta cuando siempre ha existido la opción de carburante sin CO2!

There are three ways to use ammonia as a fuel.

• Ammonia can be burned in a spark ignited piston engine, behaving quite a bit like an ordinary gasoline engine, except it will perform at compressions of as high as 25 to 1, which is even better than diesel’s 17 to 1 limit.
• Ammonia will burn in a turbine, which would be used for long term electricity generation, say in a “peaker” style generation facility intended to replace a natural gas generator. This would be a machine in the multimegawatt range.
• The third method of producing electricity from ammonia is to use it in a fuel cell. This has always been possible but development has favored hydrogen fuel cells rather than direct ammonia fuel cells thus far.

Converting to NH3

Converting a Vehicle to run on Ammonia (NH3)

How does an ammonia dual fueled vehicle work?

The simplest implementation of the dual fueled ammonia vehicle conversion is physically similar to a compressed natural gas vehicle conversion. A new on-board tank holds liquid ammonia at only about 150 PSI. Regulators, valves and an electronic control system meter the flow of ammonia to the engine as needed after the engine is started and warmed up on gasoline, ethanol etc. A small amount of gasoline is used to idle the engine, then as the load is increased the additional energy is provided by adding ammonia. This is all handled automatically by the engine control electronic module.

Can I buy a conversion kit for my private car today?

No. Not at this time. Conversion work is currently concentrated with fleet vehicles and other large market applications. Although, with increasing gasoline prices, conversions for private vehicles are coming.

Appeal: Direct action vs.Tar Sands pipeline.CO2-FREE fuel already exists!

Dear Friends,

This will be a slightly longer letter than common for the internet age–it’s serious stuff.

The short version is we want you to consider doing something hard: coming to Washington in the hottest and stickiest weeks of the summer and engaging in civil disobedience that will likely get you arrested.

The full version goes like this:

As you know, the planet is steadily warming: 2010 was the warmest year on record, and we’ve seen the resulting chaos in almost every corner of the earth.

And as you also know, our democracy is increasingly controlled by special interests interested only in their short-term profit.

These two trends collide this summer in Washington, where the State Department and the White House have to decide whether to grant a  certificate of ‘national interest’ to some of the biggest fossil fuel players on earth. These corporations want to build the so-called ‘Keystone XL Pipeline‘ from Canada’s tar sands to Texas refineries.

To call this project a horror is serious understatement. The tar sands have wrecked huge parts of Alberta, disrupting ways of life in indigenous communities–First Nations communities in Canada, and tribes along the pipeline route in the U.S. have

CO2-FREE fuel already exists!

stop tar sands insanity

A CO2-free fuel already exists..-Green Gas NH3, and is being suppressed by Big Oil…

Pushing the climate over the edge to make more and more money for power mad corporations.

Act NOW OR NEVER!!

Ammonia NH3 scandal.CO2-free fuel suppressed by Big Oil.

80 years ago I could have taken a bus in Belgium that use CO2-free fuel, made from Green Gas Ammonia, and cheaper at present prices than gasoline. A car has been driven across America  on NH3 with its motor slightly adapted, the safe clean fuel has been used for tractors, locomotives and even NASA JETS.

GREEN GAS  NH3, is made by the same century old process used to make fertilizer..Just AIR plus WATER plus electricity. Now finally a new way to make Green Gas called SSAS has been found, which costs even less and is suited to wind turbine and off peak solar energy.

The oil and gas companies get billions every year in direct tax gifts from government, on top of their immense profits, and pay nothing to offset severe worldwide contamination and runaway climate change.

I`m not a moralistic person but last month I scrapped my old car.. Now I`m walking a lot and I live on a mountain. I really need transport, but how can I justify to my children if we take part in pushing the fragile world climate over the edge?

But WHY do we have  to use planet destroying technology when a C02 free alternative has existed all along.? Why can no venture company get backing to produce the fuel, when the technology is simple and proven and even the distribution system already exists (for the fertilizer Ammonia)?

Because these corporate climate mega criminals have set it up that way. Of course. For nearly a century they have suppressed Green Gas NH3. When will they be prosecuted, pilloried , ostracised  and brought to justice?..Okay I haven`t got much proof…

For example.. The company GreenNH3 (which sells green gas at 50c a liter) reports on its efforts to publicise the product on a CBC show…   After going through the interview process the man and woman said, they wanted us on the show, but could not, since our product (technology) had been vetoed by one of the Dragons who (he) was heavy invested in oil.  check it out  here

How come the oil industry in Nth America gets a 2.5 billion yearly tax gift while Green Gas supporters don`t even get their petitions answered?  Another wonder of  predator Capitalism!

CO2-free Car and Jet Fuel ALREADY EXISTS!

I’ve checked it out.. of course, it was Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines who promised to spend billions on a new GREEN air fuel,

After years of greenwash posing and ballyhoo he plans to use some  ethanol, which hardly reduces emissions and removes plants which could be used for food.

But wait a minute.. CO2  free fuel has always existed!! (see previous post)  here

Are all these people totally sold out  or totally STUPID?

Anhydrous Ammonia is cheaper to produce than jet fuel, easy to make from solar powered systems, produces ZERO ZERO ZERO CO2, and has been extensively tested back in the 60s by NASA, with the X15 plane that reached a record 4520 mph!.( okay they mixed some oxygen fuel)   http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/news/FactSheets/FS-052-DFRC.html

ZERO EMISSIONS  GREEN JET FUEL ALREADY EXISTS. only that converting the planes might cut into gluttonous profits.

Running your car on Green Gas (nh3) may be a little slower… running it on petroleum will ultimately destroy life conditions on the planet!

Heres the plane..

why not use Green Gas, nh3?: no emissions. From air and water!

   To go on from yesterday’s post we include material below from the Greennh3 company which is trying to market Green Gas.  The 1st photo is from 1933, the train and tractor are running now.

What a crime we have to use petroleum and destroy the planet just to enrich a cartel of powerful corporations…when cheap emissions free energy has been available all along!

GreenGas machines make Green sustainable fuel from air and water at any location where fuel is needed in any quantity.

HOW -

• We have two proven green ways to make the fuel and three green ways to use it.
• Green NH3 is manufactured from simply air and water using clean renewable energy.
• Not to be confused with brown ammonia which can come from coal or other fossil sources.

Power*  +  Green NH3 Synthesizer  = Zero Emission Fuel for less cost than gas and diesel

Producing NH3 as a green fuel

• Only fuel except hydrogen that produces no greenhouse gases.
• Anhydrous ammonia is an ultra-clean, energy-dense alternative liquid fuel.
• Ammonia will power diesel and spark-ignited internal combustion engines, direct ammonia fuel cells, and even combustion turbines.

*Some possible Power sources that can be used:

• windsolar (p.v.),daylight (not p.v.), low cost off-peak, shore tidal, hydro, ocean wave, ocean temp diff., ocean current

Letter to PM and Mr McGinty   (Canada)

March 20, 2011 | Author Green Gas

GreenGas again sent registered mail to PM Harper and Mr McGinty reminding them ( as they have every six months for the last 2 yrs ) that there is a lower cost, clean, safe alternative to tar sands oil or drilling which could save Canadians money and help clean up their environment. No reply at present.

GreenGas has been used safely on farms here for over 50 years.

CO2-free Green Gas NH3 suppressed in mega profits scam.

Green Gas Technology has been around for 80 years or more, it is ignored today precisely because it doesn’t benefit the big capitalist corporations but can be produced at home on your community windmill…

Benefits of Green NH3  (ammonia) over other fuels

• costs less and zero emissions
• helps reverse global warming
• no need to transport fuel (used where it is made)
• less truck pollution, traffic congestion and fuel tanker accidents.
• less need for oil wars ( oil is now not worth the fight )
• less chance of “oil” terrorism ( harder to attack a million wide spread green fuel machines than one or two oil refineries.)   ETC

NH3 as a fuel

There are three ways to use ammonia as a fuel.

• Ammonia can be burned in a spark ignited piston engine, behaving quite a bit like an ordinary gasoline engine, except it will perform at compressions of as high as 25 to 1, which is even better than diesel’s 17 to 1 limit.
• Ammonia will burn in a turbine, which would be used for long term electricity generation, say in a “peaker” style generation facility intended to replace a natural gas generator. This would be a machine in the multimegawatt range.
• The third method of producing electricity from ammonia is to use it in a fuel cell. This has always been possible but development has favored hydrogen fuel cells rather than direct ammonia fuel cells thus far.

Converting to NH3

Converting a Vehicle to run on Ammonia (NH3)

How does an ammonia dual fueled vehicle work?

The simplest implementation of the dual fueled ammonia vehicle conversion is physically similar to a compressed natural gas vehicle conversion. A new on-board tank holds liquid ammonia at only about 150 PSI. Regulators, valves and an electronic control system meter the flow of ammonia to the engine as needed after the engine is started and warmed up on gasoline, ethanol etc. A small amount of gasoline is used to idle the engine, then as the load is increased the additional energy is provided by adding ammonia. This is all handled automatically by the engine control electronic module.

Can I buy a conversion kit for my private car today?

No. Not at this time. Conversion work is currently concentrated with fleet vehicles and other large market applications. Although, with increasing gasoline prices, conversions for private vehicles are coming.

COME ON YOU GEEKS WHERES THE DIY KIT !!
