Off. And that will cost me money. I know that from a power plant scrubber. There it costs me money. So but the problem now is the same. I have some sorbent. My absorbent had to be a little bit more stronger and it turns the out that scales rhythmically in the dilution for every factor two in dilution i need to pay an extra amount of energy. If you work it out, we pay about 1 1 2 to 2 times depending on how i do the accounting in energy than the flue gas scrubber must pay in the ideal solution. We cost a little more but not 100 times. We are a little more expensive by not linearly more expensive. Here you can see the energies. So this is how much energy we need for air, this is how much we would need for co2 from a power plant and what you see here, if the eveningeers can see this, this is rp log t. Let me put this out with a fancy formula so you know zca we act do math on occasion. What thisn basically says, the dynamics works. And by now nobody disagrees with this any more. The ther
Enforce it or do you ignore it . I think thats the bottom line. My time is expired but let me say once again, i thank you an your staff for the process you are going through. It is invaluable to our countrys veterans and to the agency. Senator, thank you very much. Senator tester. I want to thank you, too, for your work and your professionalism. It is very helpful to us so thank you for your work. Your investigations, whether phoenix or the other 93 facilities, is focused on scheduling. Correct . Whats that we dgo in to loo at but sometimes along the way you see other things you need to look at that may be tangentially related. There are some places where it is expanding. Is it fair to say that the investigation started out in phoenix because of some pretty damning things that were being said about phoenix. Is it fair to say that the scheduling problems are pretty pervasive throughout the va . Absolutely. Okay. Specifically for phoenix, look. A good portion of montana heads down there
Telepathy, telekinesis, recording the maris, perhaps even photographed in a gene, Controlling Computers with the mind, controlling robots with the mind. We have done it. We have done this, we have done all these things in the laboratory. How did this occur in the last 15 years . Guest the brain is a black box. We didnt know what was inside the brain. 49 Technology Local look at blood flow with an our eye scans, blood flow pushing around the brain and we can look all the old wives tales, the theories of Sigmund Freud. Some of his furies were correct, some was incorrect. We can use computers to deciphers the blood flow to create a picture of what you are thinking about. This is amazing. If you think about the mona lisa, we can put your head in an mri scan, have a computer look at all the blood flow and reconstruct a picture of the month of lisa. When you fall asleep, the machine keeps plugging away and prints out your dreams. One day we will wake up in the morning and see the dream we ha
Think just talking about air capture doesnt really explain why one would want to do it and how it fits into the bigger picture. To begin with, i think im talking here to the converted. I would like to point out that we really do need energy and we cannot solve our climate issues and other pollution issues which come from having energy by not having energy. We do need it for a variety of reasons. I would say we have planned it if we need food, we need fertilize for that, we need energy. We couldnt sustain the population we have without the process which affects nitrogen. If you want water there are unlimited supplies in the ocean if we could figure out how to desalinate and that takes energy and if you extract minerals from the ground, you again need energy. You came today mine coupled with a fraction of a unit because you have the energy to do so. In 1980 they were running out but they have 20 cup. So we can do better by throwing more energy at the problem pb. If you want to clean up a
If iran doesnt feel part of the effort . They are already there. So they are already making an effort without being part of a coalition. Secondly, the government of iraq if they want to talk, which they obviously do, they can do it. Thats got to be the filter. It cant be direct conversations with iran for practical reasons. I believe. Im someone who very strongly believes we ought to be negotiating with iran on the nuclear side. Against some very strong opposition to even talking to iran on the nuclear side. That to me is the number one goal right now is to avoid that catastrophe of iran getting a Nuclear Weapon. And i think this could muddy that water and confuse and complicate those negotiations if in another area we are relying on iran, because i think it could help, it could raise their expectations somehow or other, it could affect what they calculate we might be willing to do on a nuclear side. I dont want them to change their calculus. I want them to know how serious we are. And
