Gasifier Experimenters Kit - Pole Shift Survival Information

Untitled DocumentSubject: GMOthe more i listen to the energy debate, the more i heartwo strains of cultural bias. one is "go back to nature", which allthe associated ludditeism and wishes for a non-consumist, non-stuffbased life, and the other is "go forward to artificial life", which isarguing the good of GMO, active hacking of the biosphere, and generaltechincal solutions.nesdon's previous post about the corallary of the gaia hypothesis,that we are collaborators in the atmosphere, and it has evolved withus. not just humans. but all life. all organic life is part of thelarger biosphere organism.it seems to me that humans, as fundamentally tool making creatures,have made synthetic metabolic machines of such size at this point thatwe have injected a new type of species into this biosphere. i don'tthink we can go back to a pre mechanized time. our machines are us.and as we had the power to mess up the atmosphere through them, wealso have the power to fix the problems with them. but NOT byreturning it to how it was. but rather, by hacking to get to thedesired end state.i'm starting to called this the "mechabolic hypotheis". that globalmetabolism is now primarily a cyborg entity, as we need to morethoughfully operate our machines of mechanical metabolism within it.given thus, we should look around for greenhouse gas mitigatinggestures. the one i'm seeing as the biggest lever is methane.methane is like 4x or 5x the effect as co2. if we could reducemethane faster than we are adding problematic co2 from noncontemporary sources, we could get to a statis we like better.the biggest source of methane is all the rotting stuff on the planet,made worse by biodegrable consumer products, and worse of all, hippiescomposting things. all organic matter put into the ground in thesemanners, rots and produces large amounts of methane (ch4).it would be vastly better if we collected up all the waste biomass and"burned" it through thoughtful gasification, mining its energy as itis returning back to the atmostphere as co2, all the while generatinga high carbon ash that is a vastly better fertilizer than just organichttp://whatiamupto.com/mechabolic/mechabolicthesis.html (8 of 9) [10/9/2008 08:16:56]
