One of the most tragic consequences of the Iraq war is the astounding quantity of Depleted Uranium the USA has left there.

This is a TOXIC metal that is used to make bullet shells. It vaporizes when a round is fired and burns a hole in the object that it hits. This metal has been shown to cause abnormal increases in miscarriages for the wives of soldiers and Iraqis. It has a half life of about 4 billion years so that the country will be polluted until the END OF TIME. The reason the USA uses this metal is two-fold. It works great as a weapon because of it's armor piercing quality AND it is a by-product of the Nuclear power plant industry. Manufacturers can get this metal very cheap because the power plants are happy to get rid of their toxic waste. The town of Concord Mass. is a SUPERFUND CLEANUP SITE due to the factory that made shells... Now THAT'S a shot heard 'round the world...

Ahh... the evil of the Bush... and his nuclear waste disposal solution...



Campus Center for Appropriate Technology at Humboldt State University: CCAT is a completely student run organization that seeks to educate people on sustainable living practices through their demonstration at the Buck house on HSU's campus. The house has a 2.4 kW grid-intertie PV system, 2-flat plat solar hot water collectors, a wind turbine, solar greenhouse, thermal curtains, and energy efficient appliances. The house is so energy efficient that the PV system produces much more electricity than the house requires on an annual basis. CCAT feeds this excess renewable energy back into the grid to be used elsewhere on the HSU campus. Students use CCAT to understand how many of the energy technologies discussed in class can be applied.
