Hydrogen Fuel Cell - invented at Humboldt State University at SchatzLab - Ducks in Sequoia Park Eureka - Surfers Beach in Crescent City - Mom's Car at Schidbaur's Lumber Mill...

On family day, my brother took us to visit Lawrence Livermore Lab. I remember the Shiva Project.

 It was a Fusion Nuclear Power Plant Prototype. You may have seen it as the movie "TRON" had a few scenes filmed there. It was a fundamentally valid idea but it never created more power than it took to run the machine. They took a drop of "Heavy" Water and focused many giant laser beams on it from all directions. The idea was that the heat would cause the hydrogen to FUSE into helium. Just like it does in the SUN. When they turned on the power the lights of the city of Livermore would dim. Martin worked in Biology at the Lab.

One time Martin took me to a Biology Trade Show in Washington DC at a big Hotel. A BioTech Company from England had invented a single celled animal that TASTED LIKE CHICKEN. We ate some... It was illegal for a BioTech Company to design and grow food in the USA but the laws allowed it in England. Quite like Zymoveal out of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Books. I still believe that it's a good idea. I think it ate oil... Could solve World Hunger.

Test results from Fukushima radiation spreading to Northern California: Is our Ocean Contaminated with Cesium? YES!

Woods Hole is testing the water off Eureka California for Cesium and finds that our water has been polluted since the 1960s... Cesium has a half life of 30 years so it's still radioactive... Nuclear Bomb testing caused the contamination. That was  the stupidest idea possible... Intentionally blow up Atom Bombs just to see what happens. Well, we get to eat radioactive fish for decades... THAT'S what happens when we blow up Atom Bombs and Hydrogen Bombs outdoors... Some people say that Albert Einstein was a Genius... Well, the end result of his "Brilliant Ideas" was Atom Bombs and Atomic Power Plants. Two of the most INSANE Ideas Ever!
