For the back to the land people
Published (2009-11-21 21:48:00)
Quote: and then as land prices rise in this country, and become cheaper and cheaper else where, we may migrate away from this isle and so population will drop. Migrate to where? Flooded regions? Desertified regions? The UK could be one of the last places worth living in if climate change is real.

Singularity

I would have agreed with you and said it's tosh until I searched the internet after Vortex's post and unexpected found that IBM had simulated an ENTIRE cat brain complete with all firing synapses and billions of neurons etc in "near real time". I'm not sure we could interpret what's actually happening easily but progress is being made in identifying what the corresponding patterns are when neurons fire in...

The cost members of society ( unemployed,disabled,elderly) will be found roles commensurate to their abilities, with training if needed. The problem is that there will be no roles for these people, or for most others. Part of the reason our economy is collapsing is that, with machines doing most of the work that...

I must admit, my gut feeling for the figures is that we produce a lot less AD-able waste than the amount needed to power, say, all the gas used for domestic CH. Here at Chateau Renewable we use about 15,000 kWh of gas for heating and HW per year, I'd guess about 3,000 of that is HW. Wet sludge produces about 1 kWh per kg, so we'd need to be producing 15 tonnes of waste. I dunno how much goes down the bog each day but I'd be...

A Gesture from the Invisible Hand
Published (2009-11-21 01:00:00)
Hmmm, we didn't exactly have a global economy back then mind you! I think there is a phrase I have heard many times, 'when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold.' When the USA goes "down", I reckon the impacts will be massive. Whether all the regions you mention go down together is hard to conclude, but I think it likely at least some will...... the impacts can't be under-estimated imo, we...

Most calculations put the contribution from sewage sludge, farm wastes and food wastes at no more than a fre percent of gas supply. They must be "qualifying" their stats. somehow.

If the microwave oven has an input of 1,000 watts, that will be very roughly 100 amps at 12 volts.
If the 1,000 watts is the output, into the food being cooked, then the supply current could be about 150 amps.
A 1,800 watt inverter if fully loaded will draw about 180 amps continously and perhaps twice that very briefly.
This suggests that any changover switch needs to be rated ...

He went on to say that it was more of a one in a thousand year event - which is a pretty silly statement. What he should have said was that as Anthropogenic Global Warming proceeds the probability of unusual weather events will increase. Yesterday's event is in line with model expectations and we will need to divert a significantly greater proportion of GDP towards adaptation and mitigation....

Recently I have begun to think that Goods'/Vinge's Singularity might hit us sooner than rather than later.
Do you believe that infinite growth is possible?
That's what the Singularity is all about.
If you believe in limits then by definition a singularity cannot happen.

Doesn't this just mean the stuff the Chinese now build for us will be more expensive?
