For nearly 25 years, the Green Detectives have been trudging through landfills, climbing into wind turbines and touring chemical plants to find the best ways to prevent pollution and conserve natural resources. But in 2007, consumers hit a tipping point, with mass media focusing on “going green.” That’s when things got crazy.

I have been greatly concerned with the issue of green washing and “green scaming” lately. I’m not so concerned with people most forms of green washing, if for instance a dishwashing liquid comes out with a label that says “now even more enviromentlier!!!” it’s realy no different than their old annualy changing ” now new and improved!!!” labels.one of the examples above is advertiseing about quantity of recycled paper, well advertisers should be held accountable for being honest. but paper biodegrades, it’s litter, not pollution.
what realy worries me more is the greenscaming. I have been working on publishing instructions to convert a car to run on solar/hydrogen (something the obamacrates violently oppose) and it is unreal the phoney cons people are being sold online. whats far worse is that state and federal tax dollars are being intentionaly wasted on such things as wind farms geothermal, biodiesel, and worst of all the new “high tech grid” all to prevent the start of a solar economy.this technology is not new,it is not experimental and could provide 100% clean and 100%free energy for all americans. unless this agenda is stoped we will all be living in goverment housing projects and taking the goverment electric bus to work!!

RE : The solution to climate change.
( human excrement + nuclear waste = hydrogen )
The USA discharges Trillions of tons of sewage annually, sufficient quantity to sustain electrical generation requirements of the USA.
Redirecting existing sewage systems to containment facilities would be a considerable infrastructure modification project.
It is the intense radiation that causes the conversion of organic material into hydrogen, therefore what some would consider the most dangerous waste because of its radiation would be the best for this utilization.
I believe the combination of clean water and clean air, will increase the life expectancy of humans.
The four main areas of concern globally are energy, food,water and air!
The radiologic decomposing of organic materials generates Hydrogen
By using our sewage as a source of energy we also get clean air , clean water, and no ethanol use of food stocks. Eat food first, create energy after.
Simply replacing the fossil fuel powered electrical generating facilities with these plants, would reduce CO2 emissions, and CH4 emissions, to acceptable levels, globally.
This would require a completely new reactor facility capable of converting human waste into hydrogen and then burning the hydrogen to generate electricity on site.
This solution is sellable to citizens because of all the side issue solutions. I’ve been able to convince most simply with concept of using nuclear waste to a productive end.
Superbugs ( antibiotic resistant ) apparently are created in the waters sewage is discharged into, which is one more side issue solution.
Anything not converting into hydrogen will potentially be disposed of using Transmutation.
The water emitted from hydrogen burning will have uses in leaching heavy metals from other contaminated site clean ups.
I thank you for your consideration, please feel free to contact me anytime.

Appreciate the blog. I’ve been building solar panels for small businesses for some time now and doing pretty well… Lucky I found this place.
