A new technique promises to turn the potential pollutant into a source of clean fuel. Some fire a company in dresden has developed a way of using that otherwise harmful gas to produce an eco friendly fluid called blue crude. On its own its already an alternative to fossil fuel. But a further steps can produce other products like diesel or aviation fuel. A diesel is a synthetic fuel which hardly has any emissions its a groundbreaking but there are concerns as keep craft. And there are concerns from some quarters that approving our kind of fuel would hamper the development of immobility. We dont believe that we believe both can be used alongside each other. But as long as something one hampers the other then it will be extremely difficult to succeed with this technology. Extreme shares your focus is on. A process known as electrolysis allow surplus electricity from renewable sources to be transformed into a synthetic fuel. Synthetic fuels like a diesel dont require new infrastructure tanks and gas stations and conventional internal combustion engines can continue to be used. These workers in dresden are hoping someday to mass produce a diesel in places like norway such a breakthrough would take their electrolysis process into the real world.

And opened the safe for the jimmy Rogers Museum and then the jimmy rogers guitar. That we keep in this life jimmy had many guitars this was his final guitar he ordered it shortly after he was discovered one of our guests when he was based in here hey point to this ho and he said sing this how you say this house right here and he kept saying that about four or five times and then what thats what Country Music was oh right they are right they are and what do you like to. America and another guest said when asked americans because jimi had such a profound influence. As a young man jimi was just whacked for the new orleans and northeast and rally wait as a break man among other things. Soon he was beloved to leave the country many of his experiences during his time on the road found their way into his songs today this is known only to fans of Country Music. His music came from his work on the rare and from his former life and from living in rural mississippi and traveling around the trying as he travels from place to place. He loved the railroad he just didnt want to work on the railroad he wanted to sing about the railroad and hes left us many many wonderful songs and we appreciate the great his music.

He picked up during his time on the railroad the. The the if. We leave the roots of Country Music and behind. The old man has been stabbed in the dining car. Were just waiting for designed. There are three times logs available for lunch we chose the middle one half past twelve. Am a train has left the state of mississippi and is traveling through alabama i am. In the early Nineteenth Century i know was mined in the area surrounding birmingham to bring its Industrial History to life for future generations the state of alabama set up an open and museum a few years ago the tan hill and lux historical state. Not much remained at the historical buildings thats why much was rebuilt using the original plan. Was a boom town in the late eight hundred after their free to structure period after the civil war thats when the pressure really started to get going and towns like birmingham and from places over here where theyre brown or fields to the places where adjacent to the red or fields that were located closer to the brink of city limits so the Production Center there twenty two tons of vinyl one mind hit every day in the early eighteen six days by the end of the civil war parts of the complex were in. And but the boom of the un town of birmingham was unstoppable so then about the time of the founding of the city eight hundred seventy s. And it picked up through world war one and it kind of peaked in World War Two producing stuff for the war effort for World War Two and then after the one nine hundred sixty s. Things Like International competition and resource depletion and it drove the other industries out i mean have still has a pretty big cast iron pipe industry but then not anymore hey i mean isnt it here anymore. The furnace is a no longer burning but there are impressive reminders of the time when birmingham was also known as the pittsburgh of the south pittsburgh was americas number one steel city at the time. Was the right now but i am i am the. One. With the population of two hundred Twelve Thousand birmingham is still alabamas biggest city even though its lost half of its population as a result of the economic decline of the past fifty years thats evidenced by the many decaying buildings many of them are being pulled down three quarters of all the inhabitants are africanamericans just half a century ago these people had to fight for their civil rights the events from back then a student at the forefront of them minds. But during that time birmingham was rigidly segregated segregation ordinances specifically said that black people white people did not play checkers yes engage in any game its hard to imagine what that was like now so it was very oppressive. The separation of the races there was real. No justice in the legal system for africanamericans. The city of racial segregation. In the sixtys African American homes and businesses were bombed in the city this outbreak a bombing hand. Tool black girls died in one thousand nine hundred sixty three when a Baptist Church was bombed. Many of the attacks were committed by the racist hate group the ku klux klan. The conflicts finally came to a head and it took decades for the Civil Rights Movement to fool. So you had two hundred years of this so pression based on color and based on race. And people had accepted that as a way of life and so to make that kind of dramatic shift after generations of racial oppression is very difficult the hope that this ugly chapter in history will finally close is expressed in a play on the wall of the baathist chant it reads and then madam learn to replace bitterness and violence with novel and understanding the earth you work the early train heads fathomless were running striking behind.
