Come join us In Washington DC and let your voices be heard on out-of-control government spending and taxation. We have a government that will advance its ideology at our expense. We can no longer afford new government programs. Protest is a time honored tradition, it’s time to join that tradition.
There will be two members of Carbon Phallusy attending this march. We will be protesting climate change regulation as well as the above mentioned items.
A new law concerning solar water heaters in Hawaii came to my attention. I decided to do some research on that law and saw this is in effect for all new homes starting in 2010. Supporters of the law say that the heaters will add about $5000 more to the cost of the home. Tell me if my math is right here. $5000 for the heater tacked to a 25-year mortgage. That would be 6% interest times $5000 = $300 annually. Spread that over 25 years and that turns the $300 into $7500, so that makes the total cost of the heater $12,500.According to solarpay.com.au the lifespan of a water heater is 10-15 years, while the solar collector itself will last 20-30 years. It seems that about time you finish paying that $12,500 for the solar continue reading » »
Now that we have a new president that is interested in solving the so-called problems of global warming, it’s made me start thinking once more about the electric car. Also, since we are having some of the coldest weather in recent years, I began to think about what it takes to heat that electric car.
In conventional cars with an ICE (internal combustion engine) we use waste heat from the cooling system to keep us warm in the continue reading » »
We have talked about hydrogen cars before. This is coming to my attention again since a friend has been experimenting with extracting hydrogen from water to increase the mileage for his truck. He has the process working, but there are some problems. The biggest is heat generation. As the water heats up, due to electrolysis, the electrical current goes up. There are ways to dissipate the heat, but that doesn’t solve the problem completely. Heat is loss, therefore lowering the efficiency of the process. The more loss of energy you have, the less chance at a successful project. continue reading » »
We now have a new president. President Elect Obama promised many things during his campaign. So many promises that he can never keep them all. One promise he has made, I think, he will eventually put into effect, and that are the Cap and Trade policies.
Cap and Trade is basically setting a limit on the amount of carbon a company can output. Those of you that believe in global warming will applaud this cap. Well things get a little complicated after that, okay a lot complicated. continue reading » »
Why should people use CFLs?
Switching from traditional light bulbs to CFLs is an effective, accessible change every person can make right now to reduce use at home and prevent greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change(If you believe in such a thing). Lighting accounts for close to 20 percent of the average home’s electric bill. Changing to CFLs costs little upfront and provides a quick return on investment. continue reading » »
Here is some information on Sarah Palin and her energy policies. Just to note, she was my choice for McCain to pick as his vice president. I know most of the country never heard of her, but she is more than than capable for the job and I think she will be for sensible legislation on global warming.
Sarah Palin
Palin’s tenure is noted for her independence from big oil companies, while still promoting resource development.[5][12] Palin has announced plans to create a new sub-cabinet group of advisers, to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions within Alaska. [18] Shortly after taking office, Palin rescinded an appointment by Murkowski of his former chief of staff Jim Clark to the continue reading » »
We keep hearing about the Arctic ice melting, yet we never see the promised flooding. The only flooding we ever hear about is that of New Orleans. As far as I can tell, the rising of the oceans is no more than normal. If we are having all this melting, where is the water going? One answer is that if it’s sea ice the level of the ocean will not raise. The other answer is that we are not having the melting as promised by Algore and the likes of him. continue reading » »
We are all concerned with the rising cost of gasoline. It not only cost us directly as we pump the gasoline into our car,. it also cost us as in rising cost of food and most everything we use. Everything is shipped by some form of oil. I know many of you are dealing with it in many ways. There is one thing in this area that most don’t seem to know. I have written how the Democrats don’t want to drill for new oil. Now we find that they have a pending 10 cents per gallon increase in federal gas taxcontinue reading » »
Every time you turn on the news all you hear is about Rockville, Missouri’s announcement that they are running on 100% wind power. How wonderful that sounds. It makes every citizen in the world want to run out and to urge their local government to do the same. Then there are the logical few that stop to look at this panacea. continue reading » »
Due to a persistent spammer we now require you to register to post comments. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you for visiting Carbon Phallusy where we point out those that use global warming for personal, profit, or political gain. We are interested in facts, and if those facts lead to indisputable proof of man-made global warming, then so be it.
