Hi, Alex!! Thanks for the scientific explanation. Where does tetrafluoromethane come from?
I read some good news, and some bad news, in Time and Newsweek today. The bad news was in an analytical piece, where the discussion is that Clinton will not act forcefully even to enforce existing environmental laws to reduce hydrofluorocarbons, because total scientific proof of global warming is absent. The political damage in raising taxes on energy consumption is too big a risk to him, according to this piece. However, the CEO of British Petroleum is quoted as saying we must do something now!!! That surprised me.
In another article, there were graphs showing that the world's poorer peoples are voluntarily taking more interest in "green" issues than was ever expected, but more importantly, they are choosing to have fewer children, and projected population growth will be a billion less than estimated in the next century.
P.S. Creative energy does not involve suddenly increased interest in lifting big weights, or mowing every corner of the lawn and then cleaning out the garage for good measure. The process of writing may be slow and lazy, but your creativity is showing. Have you started taking naps with your wife yet? That's very cozy and relaxing, and soon you can fall asleep with your head on her tummy, listening to the baby's heartbeat. The process of becoming a family begins long before the baby is born, and is one of the most memorable times of life there can be. |
