A friend of mine sent me a link to a blog that was talking about how someone has found a way to burn salt water, and that the possibility was there to further develop that to actually be able to run cars with that technology.

So I was just googling “fuel from salt water” and was reading the different links about it.

From what I can tell, right now it takes more energy to create the fuel than the fuel itself would generate, which makes it impractical.  Perhaps someone can refine the process, but I also read that when the salt water DOES burn, it releases a deadly form of chlorine gas, which probably would not be a good thing!

So, I think that quite a bit of “tweaking” needs to be done for that technology to hit the mainstream use of running our cars on saltwater!

The official groundhog did not see his shadow this morning. So we should have an early Spring this year. I, for one, am more than ready for warmer weather.

I can’t figure out why we are having such a heat wave when it is only June. This whole month it has been in the 90 degrees and people are really stressing out about it. Me included. I don’t do well in the heat and was looking forward to a nice spring that would bring everyone some happiness about dealing with all the issues that last winter brought for us to deal with.

According to an article I read on a Reuters website, a study was written by the Clean Edge and environmental nonprofit Co-op America that declared solar power will be cost competitive with fossil fuels like natural gas and coal by 2015. I think that this is wonderful news; I’d like to see a lot more alternative energy sources developed and expanded as well!

I’d love to see solar energy, wind energy, and gasoline made from algae to be our every-day energy sources! I’m sick and tired of the constant price increases of gasoline, and being held hostage by the companies and countries that are raking in record (and obscene) profits from their oil.

It is usually warmer by this time in April. I am getting antsy about getting my hands in the dirt and getting the garden planted and the yard in order. This was an unusually hard winter, one that we really deserve some nice weather to follow. I just wish I knew when that was going to be.
