THIS is Human Energy... Convert Body Fat into Electricity using a Stationary Bicycle Generator... CHEVRON IS LYING! They are NOT the Human Energy Company... They are the OIL Company that is Using Their MASSIVE PROFITS to Broadcast Feel Good TV Commercials...

I've noticed a LOT of CHEVRON Greenwashing Advertisements on TV Recently... All About How wonderful They Are... Just Look at the Happy People DRIVING CARS! FUN! However, On the Corporate Headquarters there are NO SOLAR PANELS on the Roof... They Run Heaters and Air Conditioners USING FOSSIL FUEL... or maybe NUCLEAR POWER from Diablo Canyon...

https://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/09/30/viral-parody-ad-chevron-admits-it-actively-murdering-you

The fake ad was released weeks after the U.K.-based group InfluenceMap revealed that the five largest fossil fuel companies--Chevron, BP, ExxonMobil, Shell, and TotalEnergies--spend a cumulative $750 million per year on public relations campaigns to make the corporations seem committed to climate action, while spending just 12% of their capital expenditures on low-carbon activities.

Big oil firms touted algae as climate solution. Now all have pulled funding.

Insiders aren’t surprised as ExxonMobil, the last remaining proponent of green algae biofuel, ends research.

JET SETTERS: When Will They Ever Learn? Causing Air Pollution and Climate Change is No Longer "Totally Groovy"

Labor Day Weekend 2023... The Largest Quantity of Flyers Ever... Obviously "Someone" is Not Getting the Message... Ecology is Important!

January 11th, 2023: Thousands of Flights Delayed or Cancelled... Instant Karma?

... SO... The Universe Delivers a Stern Message! Get Stuck in an Airport!

DO NOT FLY on Jet Airplanes... 

Remember: Climate activist Greta Thunberg made a double crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in 2019 to attend climate conferences in New York City and, until it was moved, Santiago, Chile. She sailed from Plymouth, UK, to New York, United States aboard the racing yacht Malizia II, returning from Hampton, Virginia, to Lisbon on the catamaran La Vagabonde. Thunberg refuses to fly because of the carbon emissions of the airline industry^[1] and the trip was announced as carbon neutral.

We Need an Energy Efficient Air Conditioner: We ought to Start a "Manhattan Project" to build our way out of Climate Change. Here are Two Worthy Ideas! gvan42

Last Summer we had Over a Week of 113 Degree Heat... and a Mighty BILL... as Global Warming becomes IN YOUR FACE REAL... People all Over the Earth will want to buy Air Conditioners... Especially Europe... Where the vast majority of people Do Not Own Air Conditioners... and Old People were Dying during the heat wave... and COST of Power is a Big Factor... What IF there was a Better Way?

https://www.consumerreports.org/appliances/air-conditioners/buying-guide/

Harvard researchers designed a cheaper, more efficient air conditioner.

Air conditioners are terrible for the environment, which is complicated by the fact that they’re increasingly necessary as outside temperatures increase. This could be one solution.

https://www.fastcompany.com/90782519/harvard-researchers-designed-a-cheaper-more-efficient-air-conditioner

What IF We Made This a Practical Worldwide Solution? Maybe the Federal Government COULD Switch Funding for Fossil Fuel Subsidies and Use that Money to Do Good?

Share these Ideas with Your Elected Officials... Maybe they Could Work Smart! Pass Laws that Actually Make America Great... Ya Think?

A Better Way to Cool Ourselves

A new technique doesn’t deprive us of fresh air. And because it uses less energy, it’s good for the climate as well. As an international collaboration of researchers from institutions in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Singapore, we developed a simple, cheap, scalable solution to keeping people comfortable without regulating indoor air temperature. Our technology relies on the concept of radiant heat transfer, which involves the cooling or heating of the surfaces surrounding people, instead of cooling or heating the air. We all experience radiant heat transfer, even if we’ve rarely heard the term. Radiant heating is the feeling of the hot sun on our face during a cool spring day. Radiant heating is the direct warmth of a campfire keeping us toasty during a cool summer night. Radiant cooling is the same physics, but in the opposite direction. Radiant heat always flows from warmer to cooler surfaces. Just as the campfire loses its heat to our cool skin, and we feel warm, on a hot summer day, we can surround our body with cold surfaces, and feel comfortable. We lose our body heat to the cool surfaces around us. In an initial demonstration of our radiant system that we installed in Singapore, called the “Cold Tube,” we made people feel cool with 100 percent fresh air using 50 percent less energy, and therefore, half the associated carbon emissions required by a typical air conditioner. In our latest research, we show that this technology can be used in every major climate zone, and would result in an average energy savings of 10–45 percent, while increasing ventilation substantially in critical spaces like public schools.

Travel Causes Climate Change - JUST DON'T GO! Burning Gasoline in Cars to Go to Grandma's House? That's CRAZY!

How To Stop Climate Change. Cut Driving 50% in Cars and Trucks that Burn Gasoline. End Flying in Jet Airplanes. JUST DON'T GO! 

Just Last Summer, Instead of Riding in a Car to my Brother's Wedding... I Watched it On ZOOM... Glad I Did! Not Only a waste of Gasoline, but the Hotel was Expensive! I Would Have Gone but My In-Law Was Supposed to Drive and Cancelled at the Last Minute. and I Don't Own a Car... 

Here are Some Simple Ecological Actions that Anyone Can Do! 

Let's Move Office Jobs to Vacant Shopping Mall Stores. That would cut commuting to work a lot. And People would have an extra hour a day to play with their kids... or Whatever makes You Beatific!

90% of Jet Airplane Travel Is Not Needed... It's Voluntary Creation of Air Pollution that Causes Global Warming... Have a Zoom Meeting instead!

Another Ecology Tip!

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~ 

When It's Too Cold, Turn Off the Air Conditioning... We Could Save a LOT of Electricity if OSHA Didn't Require That Public Buildings Run The A/C When It's Already Too Cold.

At Work We Had the Freedom to place an Electric Space Heater under our Desks. So the Air Conditioning was Running AT THE SAME TIME as the Space Heaters. Using Vast Amounts of Power... as the Heaters Fought the Coolers! 

Really! I'm Not Making This UP!

I believe this is a CAL/OSHA Issue and So I wrote to My California Representative: Find Yours!

Another Simple Way to Save Electricity in Buildings. Allow Windows TO OPEN so that Outside Air Can Freely Blow In... Allow Humans to Control the Thermostat. #Activist #Ecology #Environment

About Half the Time, the Weather Outside is Fine... No Need to Run an Air conditioner OR a Heater... Just Leave those Machines OFF, Using Zero Energy. Just Open a Window and Enjoy the Fresh Air...  

In Modern Office Buildings The Windows Do Not Open and The Thermostat is Set by OSHA Regulation. 

I worked for Years in an Office Where the Thermostat was Locked inside a Box to Prevent Employees from Changing the Temperature. OFTEN The Setting was WRONG and People took Action to Correct it. 

We Found that The Plastic Box Around the Thermostat Could be Defeated Using a Fingernail File... Look at YOUR Thermostat in YOUR Office... so we changed the temperature AND NEVER TOLD THE BOSS... "It's Magic! I Have NO IDEA How The Thermostat Changed... " and It's a Classic Example of a MAN designing a Machine and TOTALLY FORGETTING THAT A COMMON TOOL could defeat the Machine... Because Only a WOMAN has a Fingernail File in her Purse... HA HA!

Adobe Houses are Very Energy Efficient and Quiet. Thick Mud Walls stay Cool in the Summer, Warm in the Winter. AND THEY RESIST FOREST FIRES... Tile Roofs Don't Burn!

When we rebuild Paradise and Santa Rosa, California it might be an Opportunity to Use Smart Design Ideas. I remember going inside the Mission Santa Clara on a Hot Summer Day... It was Cool... and Dark... Stained Glass Windows...

Built over 200 years ago, it has withstood Earthquakes. Especially 1906 San Francisco and Oakland During the World Series Baseball Game...

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

Solar Powered Street Lights Would Save a LOT of Electricity Currently Being Generated in Coal, Natural Gas and Atomic Power Plants and Distributed Using the Grid. WASTEFUL and DANGEROUS... POWER LINES CAUSE FOREST FIRES.

Nothing NEW Needs to Be Invented... We Ought to Simply Replace the Millions of Old Style Street Lights... With Solar Cells and LED Lamps... The Concept of Generating Power in One Central Location and Distributing it to the User is Quite Wasteful... Some Electricity JUST VANISHES over the Long Distance... and DANGEROUS because the Wires Start Forest Fires... PG&E Power Company Just Burned the Entire Town Of Paradise, CA... and It Caused the Company to Go Bankrupt. Distributing Power From a Central Generator is an Obsolete Idea. What if Every House had Solar Panels on the Roof That Provided Enough Electricity to UNPLUG FROM THE GRID...

and I Commented... 

I went to a Lot of Anti-War Protest Marches in Washington DC During George Bush The Father's Iraq War. Including Tripping on LSD in Lafayette Park... and Walking to the Lincoln Memorial... Where we were FACED WITH A CHOICE... The Parade permit expired at 4 PM and anyone In The Street at 4:01 Would be Arrested... WELL, Should I Get Arrested? or Not? Would going to Jail be "A Trippy Experience?" - I chose to NOT get arrested and spent the rest of my Trip in the Smithsonian...

I also got to play the drums in Lafayette Park... in Big Drum Circles...Including a Big Bass Drum Used in a Marching Band... 

A guy said: I'm tired, YOU play this for a while... and That was EPIC...

The REPUBLICAN PARTY is PULLING LEVER TO TRAP DOOR

ONLY BECAUSE HE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH AT BEING BAD

By Victoria Williams on FB

They’re rejecting him not because of the countless ways in which he inflamed and imperiled this country, not because he’s an offense to decency and an enemy of democracy, not because he degrades almost anything and anyone he brushes up against.

They’re just peeved at his losing streak.

It’s about math, not morals, and for that reason, there will quite possibly be a next Trump and a Trump after that.

I don’t mean Ivanka, his fair-weather fair-haired daughter, whose self-absorption is self-evident in the studied distance she now keeps from dotty old Dad.

I don’t mean Don Jr., who has her gift for grift but not her guile.

I mean someone whose case to Republicans is about the attainment of power, not the exercise of principle, which the party torched in its dance with the Donald.

As best as I can tell, it hasn’t learned any lesson from that.

It’s just trying to plot a path out of the ashes.

Fireplace inside the Historic Hotel at Crater Lake. After spending a night there I checked out and when I left... there was a solid sheet of Ice covering everything... so there was NO DRIVING POSSIBLE... and there was also NO WALKING TO MY VAN Either... so I turned Right around and went back to the Front Desk and Told 'em I wasn't leaving after all... and they gave me Stationary and Envelopes and I sat and Wrote letters to my Family while observing the Fire... then I ate a fine Breakfast... and The Ice had Melted...
