Belly,

Interestingly, despite the Bush administration, the most exciting developments in second generation bio-energy are based in the US. Here is a link to a list of 50 start-ups.

http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayReleaseContent.aspx?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/12-22-2008/0004945680&EDATE=

Of course most of these will fail just as most of the software start-ups in the 70s and 80s failed. But one of them may be the Microsoft of biofuels.

Another possible development is the ability to tap oil trapped in shale. A recent breakthrough has enabled gas companies to extract gas trapped in shale creating an instant gas-glut in North America. The energy now available from shale gas is equal to about two thirds of the alleged oil energy in Saudi Arabia.

belly quote>>we have found new power courses<<

he bro where can i get one of your great 'spell checking ' gismo's
i wanna sound as clever as you do

spellcheck is not the SOURCE of wisdom[you still need to know what correct word to pick[im much like you in this respect]

i figure people are able to chose to get the intended meaning or not[and if they arnt they wouldnt get what im posting anyhow]we each need to confirm our info for ourselves

[im not even close to perfect, at least i dont need cheats trying to sound more clever than i am,
yet still it must be great to be as clever as you]

worst thing is i agree with most of what you say
[usually]; most of it at any rate]

im fully illiterate[but have grown to love it]

even more so , when i stumbled across ''the foolish will confound the wise'']

it is via over-confidence where people make their worst errors

but this is also where we reveal our very humanity
[only god is perfect]

to err is HUH?-man
to forgive is devine

love ya belly

yep got me ONE UNDER GOD my spell check changed it to that, I failed to proof read it.
Now lets not get sentimental, we are unlikely to be friends, but true before spell check my posts looked much worse.
Still learning, every day of my life I am stilling learn, but meant no harm to you.
I owe my improvement to a poster in another forum long ago, two years?
We had personal messages and I got one from a wise poster told me the truth, for most the contents of a post matter more than we wish.
Every now and again I remember that kind action, and try to pass on a good deed.
I do not follow your God or your thoughts mostly, but my intent was only to help
Enjoy Christmas stay away from my bar b q its a bit pagan like

no sweat belly
i love people with wisdom[you and many others have much]

my posting style has modified over time

[unfortuinatly i wasted my life reading stuff[and never learned to write[properly]while you guys were learning vowels i was learning dutch,by the time we returned to oz i managed to struggle through 4 more years of'education'before joining a union and going to work helping to build the gladstone alumina plant[till the courts suspended my licence]

we each have our lifes missions,mine meant seeing life from the standpoint of an illiterate and godless person[till i learned to read english[with a bible]and darwins origen of the species[then searching out all the related referances]till one day i realised science has fooled everyone[and that god lives'live' time[in'real'time all the time]

its all excuses[but 11 years of education,lol]then going to jail via the'court'system a few times;for letting a plant grow made me the loud mouth[opinionated]'being'i have become,i only know what i know [the only sure thing i know is god][i love his creation[genericlly; not specificlly]

so i follow the path of my many'teachers'[who though dead] became'real to me by the words/writings they left behind

[those'dead'authers are for me more'real'than'you guys'[or rather your many and varied words and wisdoms]when i say read it was[more]reading the dictionary[to understand what each word meant]sadly im more intrested in what a word MEANS than the rule on how to spell it

i dont have such things as peers[nor childhood'friends']am socially inept and am just as my words reveal me to be[whatever that is]

[a'friend'i had a long time ago said i write as i speak[volumiously]

[my'hand'-writing is unreadable]if this is in any way'readable'its only because a few years ago i taught myself to'turn on'a computer and type[with one tired finger]

anyhow i wouldnt swap my life for anyone elses,[and the occasional compliment[confirmation?]i occasionally get from others,i know is despite my poor spelling[not because of my'spell'checker[and usually the only come back people offer is're'my'spelling'[not what i said]but how i spelled it out

anyhow merry jesus birth day[to you and yours[from me]
cheers

Now that was a good post OUG I know some will be grinning at both of us as they read this but the subject is worth expanding on.
My childhood as the oldest of a large family was never going to be about education.
Even before I left school I was working, to help feed my siblings,
not quite 13 it became full time, then my education came, reading as if hungry every book I could find.
Not until I reached 35 did I find a 486 PC, by then I was senior union delegate hand writing weekly 4 page reports.
Here I go again , laugh at your self its great therapy.
I photo copied my hand written reports, sent it to 38 depots each photo copied it and passed it on.
Even I often had to think about what I had written, yet they read it.
two great blokes a boss and a man now dead made up my cover sheet for e mails.
A little bear the one we all know, he has bent over writing with a feather, saying my spelling is ok its just that the words wobble and get out of place.
years have passed, that 486 was a start, each day I learn.
I read still, consume more than read learning is a must next month it will be 50 years from the day that kid left school 50 years of working.
OUG I once briefly followed your God, I took a chance and kicked away from the wall holding me, got to the deep end of the pool, I found greatness in man.
Follow your reason for living but it is not a merit badge to be feisty, to be proud of our selfs for not fitting in.
As a unionist forever I will not change but I value every opinion, even those I do not share.
Most of all one under God I endlessly look for reasons others think as they do.
And if its called for, if no other way exists, I will fight like two Tigers to be heard.

my'days'were spent reading while watching tv AND listening to the abc[all at the same time]reading 3 or 4 books per-day[only non-fiction of course[now im flat out reading at all][i only went out to put in my dole form,one day they said you have to'write'down jobs that you app-lie for[i said;i dont apply for jobs]

they said;if you dont we will cut you off[i said;fine saying i will rob banks[they said'we'are sending'you'to a phyc,he put'me'on a pension[thats when'i'stopped going out alltogether[till 1996]when i thought i should see a bit of'reality'[the'real'world]before the y2k killed it all off

..became an'activist'[joined the hemp party[life-member]they thought me a narc[so went to canberra'helped the ab-origonal's]got speared;assulted with a beer bottle and plenty of other things]in time realised that;protest dont work[and withdrew home[back to my bed room,been web activist ever since]

interesting this'haneef'thing[my 5 answers accounts were cancelled[commenting on'how'howard was using'it'to get re-elected[he'loved'the grand[911-type]destraction]he didt get away with that one[but i lost two years of blogging,and my tenth'website'on which to'blog]

now im winding-down[i realise blogging dont/work either][they can and do censor me'live'time]im just content to wait till god shuts the lights off[when we die off][sure i will be between'heaven and hell'if there is an after being][there is]i have friens/teachers on'both'sides of the after-aether,but as for'life'been there done that.

i did it the best'i'was able[when jesus is said to have been rejected[even by his own,i understand that perfectly]not that i claim any as my own[i even stopped talking to the faMILY]figuring my'insanity'worries them too-much

this world is filled with'fine and good and true'people[i learned not to judge anyone,even howhard[/hitler /stalin/idi amin]has those who love him/her,but only one loves everyone[god]

anyhow it is my'best'friends'birth-day'soon[happy-birthday;jesus[im cooking the leg of pork now]to remember the dude whos way helped me see[it is not what a man puts in his'mouth'that makes him unclean[but that which issues forth from it]

cheers[back to peak-oils deception]
