<description><![CDATA[How do we go about building a truly smart grid which can self-heal and one which can detect a computer virus, and handle a cascading power outage? In 2005 when the energy grid failed in the North East, apparently it worked correctly, and it started shutting the whole system down. Well, if that's an engineer's answer to protecting the energy grid, then "Houston, ah, we have a problem.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Today, we have a fairly robust energy grid in the US, no, I don't mean the state of overall disrepair of this aging infrastructure, rather I mean its ability to deliver continuous power even when a sector of the grid has a catastrophic challenge, or a major incident. Still, we've also noted challenges with cascading failures when the challenges or problems are compounded. Okay so, let's talk about this, as there is a new challenge afoot; Cyber Terrorism and Cyber Warfare. Now then, we need a self-healing artificial intelligent system which can better re-direct energy and make complex...]]></description>

<title>The Idiocy of Naive Ideology, Carbon Footprint Penalizations Vs Volcanic Eruptions</title>
<link>http://EzineArticles.com/6862532</link>

<pubDate>Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:59:31 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[It is firmly established in the minds of almost all world leaders that humanity-caused carbon emissions, the result of advanced civilization, are the cause of global warming and climate change. Nobel prizes are awarded to leaders (e.g. President Obama) for their "mea culpa" admissions, plus promises of imposing severe emission limitations on autos and factories, plus the paying of severe penalties by the US as reparations for the damage inflicted upon our planet's air and water. Grand schemes are initiated by governments, national, state and local, for clean, green renewable energy: for solar and wind developments, for electric automobiles, etc. Despite wintry cold snaps, with news accounts of inordinate and inclement weather, reminder stories will appear in the national news media that the real forcing-function is climate change from humanity-caused pollution. Forgotten are the shameful and sensational revelations of three years ago of "faked" temperature data (the infamous "hockey chart") which forced the resignations of the "scientific" leaders of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Also being dismissed from memory are the Solyndra bankruptcy and similar fiascoes, half a billion dollars wasted in but two years on a company that built solar panels.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Two facts make clean energy unbeatable: air pollution and its friend climate change. Sure there are naysayers. But here's the situation -- continued and accelerated burning of fossil fuels not only taps the supply of easy-to-extract oil but the proof of its effects mounts. And sure, domestic coal is plentiful. But blacken the skies so that even those who live in the countryside can't see more than a mile or two, and supporters -- even those who hail jobs, jobs, jobs -- start to go the way of passenger pigeons.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Energy consumption is a huge problem in this day and age. Everyone is plugged into something; whether it is a computer, telephone, or even driving your car to and from work, you are consuming energy. Now, most of the time, this can have some pretty nasty results. Pollution, dwindling resources, high energy prices, destruction of habitats through drilling, oil spills that kills thousand of animals each year, you name it. No one wants to hear about that type of thing, but also, no one wants to stop living the way they are. Electricity has become a part of everyone's lives, and it's not going anywhere. So, where can one find a solution to the problems addressed earlier? The answer is simple. Solar energy, of course. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There has been some recent discussion regarding the use of thorium instead of uranium for nuclear reactor fuel. Thorium is three times more abundant than uranium and the United States has an ample supply of the element. Thorium reactors cannot have a meltdown like uranium powered reactors and supporters of this technology claim it doesn't have as much high level radioactive waste. So what's not to like?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The consciousness Paul helped create began to expand and quickly became such a threat to the authorities that eventually, in 313 AD, the Roman emperor Constantine came to the conclusion he would gain politically if he was to legalize Christian worship. Once he had done this, in 325 AD he oversaw the Council of Nicea in order to decide what information would be allowed in the Bible. Paul's words were included only because they encouraged loyalty to authority and were an example of someone who lived a life of sacrifice and dedication even as he suffered, something Constantine wanted others to emulate because it would allow him to maintain political control over the faithful. He wanted people suffering, not satisfied and content. It was a brilliant scheme that worked because the masses continued to allow themselves to be told what to do and how to live.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[At the core of all the celebrating we do during the holiday season there is a desire for peace on earth. The interesting thing is, for the thousands of years that we've been praying and hoping for peace as we've been celebrating this end of the year holiday, it's never happened, and during this particular holiday season, global events indicate we're far from it. So what gives? Well, for us to truly create peace on earth, we need some important information we've been missing but is very crucial: The most important and profound relationship we can possibly ever have is the one we have with ourselves, where honor, acceptance, respect, love and compassion govern that relationship.]]></description>

Likewise, corporations on their endless search for savings and cost reductions have found a more people friendly method than simply cutting jobs.

<description><![CDATA[It is clear that there are still problems using nuclear reactors for power generation. Many nuclear power plant proponents have the cart before the horse. One should solve the problems a technology poses before you adopt a technology on a large scale. I'm all for putting inordinate resources into solving the problems first. Would one propose the wide use of a drug, a medical device or an aircraft without adequate safety testing? Safer alternatives are here and ultimate solutions are near at hand. It just takes political will and we are all part of that process.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[2011 was a difficult year with many areas of North America struck by hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and other severe storms and natural disasters. With hurricane season basically over, it's time to prepare for winter storms and blizzards. It's a great time to update your home and automobile "Emergency Preparedness Kits." We live in the Northeast where millions lost power twice in recent months: first from Hurricane Irene and then from an early winter storm. While many people saw the power come back on within a couple of hours, hundreds of thousands of people were without electricity, cable and/or phone services for several days. During outages, both FEMA and state emergency agencies recommended using solar chargers, particularly to maintain communications. Here's a discussion of what to look for in solar chargers / portable solar panels and solar emergency lights and flashlights.
