They do this to make an example case of those who don't sign up for Obamacare, by making them die from a disease or show up uninsured at a hospital and still die from the disease, and scare the rest of the population into obedience of paying their tribute, lest they be killed themselves with a deadly Monsanto designed bioweapon supergoo brain eating infection too. Fuck Obamacare and the rotten to the bone politicians and insurance agents pimping it. I pray daily wishing onto them and their loved ones exactly the same treatment they do unto others who don't sign up for Obamacare when they try to kill them by willfully infecting them with a deadly disease, I pray every day that instead they and their loved ones suffer that fate, and the people they attack be saved. So help us God, Amen. Let them be the ones that get scared, when they can assume they can just do anything with other people's lives, because they have power, they can pretend to be Human Gods who hold life and death of others in their hands. Well the true gods still have power, and they are the ones who hold life and death of everyone in their hands, and the doctors are powerless.
Looks like my prayers have been answered when Beau Biden's brain got eaten by the same Monsanto bioweapon shit they send unto others. Fuck Monsanto. Fuck Obamacare. Let them be the ones who get terrorized and scared instead, over this fucking bullshit. See it's one thing to pass a corrupt law, and fuck with everyone's money, but it's a whole different ballgame once you start attacking innocent ones with deadly diseases, whose only crime is that they resist this newly erected corruption they want to call law and justice. Same unto you motherfuckers, live by the sword, die by the sword, do unto others exactly as thou would have them do unto thee. Try to eat their brains out with Monsanto supergoo, let them be saved and instead your brains be eaten. Amen to that.

Biden "The middle class has been buried in the last 4 years." Oh yeah? And how does Obamacare help the middle class? It only increases the gap, those so rich that health insurance is unaffected, and those so poor they get free healthcare anyway from the government are also unaffected, the only group hit is the struggling middle class, whose ranks are thinning and being forced unto government aid welfare, the first step toward full welfare. A strong middle class is essential in the practical realization of the first thesis of the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal. Equal in practice means a dominant middle class, and absence of that, a week and powerless middle class, is a de facto inequality, nobility/serf, slave/owner world, no matter what the law books say in theory, the reality is starkly different with the widening gap between the rich and poor, the haves and have nots.

The best way to deal with any kind of customer-supplier abuse is boycott. Kind of like Rosa Parks ignited the peaceful boycott of the Montgomery Alabama bus system, over whatever reason she got pissed off, as the customer. In a true liberty world the customer is always king or queen, and has the right not to purchase anything for any reason, unless Obama the fucking retard of a president we got, and his puppetmaster Biden pass another stupid law making people buy stuff they don't want to buy at a price or condition they don't find to be a good deal for themselves.
I for one have never watched a DVD movie pretty much because of the DMCA crap in it, and have stuck with VHS. With any kind of Digtital MCA an easy solution is analog, the opposite of digital - VHS media or paper books. I bought an organic chemistry ebook on ebay just to find gargantuan shackles instilled into it, including if my computer crashes and must format and reload it, the only way to read the book is to contact adobe for a ticket to authorize the device, if they are still in business, if there is still internet in a zombie apocalypse, if they are not blackmailing me with high extortion prices over reapproving a ticket. I ended up buying the paper book which is very energy efficient and does not use any electric while I read it. Fuck the DMCA and rotten retarded corrupt to the bone politicians scheming to subdue and subjugate the public even further. Simple solution is give the DMCA the finger and abstain from purchases that fall under it. In a free market the customer is the motherfucking king, and can make any stupid law like the DMCA irrelevant because he won't purchase anything that falls under it, make it backfire on the motherfucking corrupt politicians and powermongers. Ghandhi was a mastermind of the powerful nonviolent resistance put into practice which liberated the Crown Jewel of the British Colonial Empire, India, from subjugation and abuse. Same thing can be applied to a whole lot of cases of abuse while fighting for liberty, practice your right not to economic or political noncooperation, simply do not make purchases where the DMCA applies until they fucking blast that motherfucking law off the books. Easy. The customer is always king, except where corrupt laws are passed, such as forced car insurance or here comes forced Obamacare health insurance, which turns you into a criminal unless you purchase at any assraping price you don't find a good deal for yours situation. God damn rotten to the core corrupt motherfucking politicians. Like George Carlin said it, when he got old enough and wasn't scared anymore to die from getting shot with an ice bullet, there is a gang at the top and they don't care about you, they don't care about you, they own you, control you, treat you as virtual slaves, and they don't care about you. It's getting near in time to blast the fucking economic terrorists that encroached themselves into the government, or more like, do unto them exactly as they do unto others, such as take them to a hospital and disregard their right to refuse treatment, and infect them with the same brain eating diseases they infect people who don't buy Obamacare, starting with Beau Biden. The Gods have spoken to me and said they will exert effort toward erasing the Biden Y chromosome, the mastermind behind the Obamacare corruption, from the planet like the Kennedy Y chromosome got erased after about 100 years. Beau Biden is the first one, and they will try to make him witness all his male descendents death before he dies. The female like will be spared.

Let's go off on a paranoid tangent...

As you know all cellphones are tracked and

all cars with chips in them probably have remote control features in them - I can attest to personal experiences on that, as in, what are the chances that almost every single day that one specific light is yellow, whether you go slow or fast, then one time the engine and power steering suddenly die right when you have to make a sharp left turn coming off the highway and struggle with the steering column or smash into a highway overhead bridge, or, passing emissions testing, it's fine for half an hour from the repair shop as you drive to it, on the highway, then as soon as you leave, then get back on the highway, bam, check engine light comes back on, like, come oooon, or, another one, with smooth steering, like an old stereo knob (probably some fluid coupling steering), suddenly stops going the way you tell it and goes a different direction and starts spinning your car at highway speeds, smashing into the side berm bouncing off, your head smashing the driver side window and both air bags deployed, but otherwise unscathed (must have had angels interfere there), it all starts adding up to where I totally distrust chips in a car, and my dream car is probably like a 1971 Porsche that is before the era of chips, simply over remote control safety issues -

so they probably kill his ass because in these days of Obamacare and mandatory treatment, they have a hard time to justify mandatory treatment, especially when they declare people mentally ill who show up at a hospital sick, saying they are hallucinating about symptoms, and then they force medication unto them, because "they need it", being mentally ill, and, well, patients right to refuse treatment and all that, the case of the movie "A beautiful mind" is a clear example that even mentally ill people have the right to refuse medication, and live with their symptoms, and live a decent humane life like that. That's why he died.

Punishment from a lot of angry insurance scam artist people.... ... ok, now back from that tangent, well, it's a possibility.. there are many possibilities in the world, whether it's likely or not is up for debate, but people do die in accidents, and often strange things happen, and in fact, if strange things never ever happen that in itself is unusual and strange. So we can chalk that one up to one of those "you never know" what happened or why things.

Yeah the existing laws are unfair to gas powered bicycle riders because they don't weigh anything compared to a car and wear or damage road surfaces comparatively less!

They should adjust their fee on a mile-ton basis, not just miles. Of course damage vs. tonnage is not a linear relationship, but it also depends on wheelbase distance and how many wheels are down, contact surface area the weight is distributed over, so each vehicle might be unique, and, as you guys say, its behavior depends on tire pressure, the higher the pressure the greater the localization of force, but too little tire pressure wears off tires too fast, so there's gotta be an economic optimum. Like truck weight stations weighing trucks, they could have special high tech weigh stations, that like a touchpad on a laptop, sense localized weight and pressure. During testing you could inflate tires to some maximum, then some minimum, and watch the pressure localization on the road surface, and give the driver a table of fees vs. his tire pressures. And then he can opt for different tire pressures, the higher pressure giving him longer tire life but more road tax, within reason, and lower pressure lower road damaging tax but also faster wear of his tires and sooner replacement needed. That's the economic nittgy gritty of getting down into the details. And then watch people cheating on their taxes claiming to be driving at a given tire pressure when they are really driving at one that saves their tires more, including getting more mpg's, but hey, that's the goal here, people cheating, which is a good end result because this way people would be forced to "naughtily" pay attention tire pressures vs. mpgs vs road tax vs. tire longevity. But life's too short, who got time for that. Well, not yet, but when it starts to matter, like saving $100 a year on $1500 gasoline cost from improved mpg's simply because you ran at a different tire pressure. Or just computing it into whether one buys a high efficiency silica based tire with low rolling loss, as it's been in vogue in Europe where the price of gas has been astronomically higher than in the US, but also commuting distances shorter.

50 years into the pandemic of liberals bankrupting us all? that's about right. It all got set into motion when the backing of the US dollar by equivalent reserves of gold or silver by the fed was stopped, and it set to float freely. Of course they had to wait until alternative forms of government such as the USSR failed, so that people fed up with the bullshit can't run to it. It was done to create more arbitrage in its value, or more like, create the ultimate arbitrage, meaning being swept up in the streets like this:
http://static.infowars.com/bin...
Ref: http://www.infowars.com/we-wil...
That happens to be the the Hungarian pengo right after WW2, but I've seen similar pictures of German Reichsmark, or, I'm guessing there are similar happenings with Zimbabwean Z$'s in the past decade in the very recent past, before that currency was canceled too and Zimbabwe switched to using US dollars internally. So the US dollar has been the major reliable reserve currency of the world, but when its backing by tangible value is stopped, that can send the entire world economy into a spiral. Of course those savvy can benefit and stuff their pockets on such happenings, such as those living off of purely arbitrage, of buy low sell high, or short sell high then rebuy low to cover the short, such as investment bankers, stock brokers, etc. Arbitrage means you do not contribute anything creative, but you make a living off of price fluctuations. Of course that has two sides to the story too, because available capital, free flow of capital is essential to prosperity, and nobody is interested in lending you their capital unless they can benefit from in in an arbitrage way, that is, the profit you create is shared with them, they get a cut of it. Investments and all that, stocks, bonds, etc, when it comes to currency I prefer an absolutely stable one, kinda like Alan Greenspan is talking about these days, abolishing paper currency, and switching to one with embedded value, such as metal, even if the coins end up small in size. Such as platinum, gold, neodynium clad into something not toxic, tungsten carbide, maybe artificial diamond money that could be used for drill bits, something of tangible value even when there is a currency fail, of greater value than mere toilet paper that paper money would be good for. Unfortunately an absolutely stable currency such as one made of silver or gold coins has issues too, lack of arbitrage, lack of interest rates, and lack of free flow of available capital that would spur the economy. Yes, if the currency is stable, and not inflating at 2-3% APR historic for the US dollar (or double digit 10-20% for Italy and Turkey much of the period after WW2), then I don't have an incentive of not keeping it dug away in a treasure chest somewhere, especially, when the rate of return on investments (such as when playing Railroad Tycoon 2 Platium or Gold) is not high enough, say 5-10%, and loaning it to someone, such as a railroad startup, could make me lose it all. Interest rates are held very low these days, mostly because most of the outstanding US debt is to China, as in China is full of factory workers ready to work 14 hr days 6 days a week, for $1/day, all they need is food and electric, and they looove to work, but the only way they can keep the factory floors moving is by lending money to the US to buy the stuff Made in China at Walmart and Sears at 2x-10x markups. So no, the Fed ain't gonna raise the prime rate because that means "free money" falling into the pockets of Chinese, which is why China is seeking a different global currency from the US dollar.

And no we in the US cannot compete with China, because us hunkies, dagos, polacks, spiks and niggas aint allowed to work for peanuts like we used to be in the 1890's of WV and PA coal mines, and meet the Chinese dollar of dollar, or more like, penny per penny, on their labor cost and outcompete them, because now our housing cost and car insurance cost and obamacare cost does not allow us to exist on $1/day, all there in an effort, or more like a daydreaming desire by Da Man who's always tryna keep a brotha down, he think he deserves to extract and collect at least as much from everyone else's productivity by simply "owning", or "hogging" of property, such as real estate (whether rental or banks "winning" the home when they fire someone after 20 years into paying a mortgage from their job, and banks get a windfall value from sheriff sales that not enough people show up to to bid), intellectual property (by forcing everyone to sign over all intellectual property at any kind of job for near minimum wage they work for, and it's an either take it or leave it and also leave the premises because there is another hungry fella waiting to take your job who has no issues with signing over any and all intellectual property they ever come up with - you know what, fuck all this intellectual property bullshit, especially physical wage labor agreements that have it)

So anyway, I, and the rest of the world, much prefers an ultrastable currency, such as the US dollar has been, and even if 0% inflation is not possible, as low as possible is welcome so I can keep money in the bank safely and reliably, but, judging from the sizle of yogurt packages at Walmart, the world has gone into a miniaturize and cut cost by all means to preserve selling at the same price, inflation is starting to go hyper as we speak, even if prices have not doubled or quadrupled in not time. I would be a great fan of a metal coin based currency, that was very small size but still inspoectable under a magnifier glass, and it was made of pure gold, platinum, tungsten, neodynium, iridium, palladium, or other precious metals like that, easy to store in a small place to carry a lot of value (such as a suitcase of dollars can only carry on the order of $200,000 or so, imagine a suitcase of mini-gold, mini-iridium dollars, I bet you could carry a whole lot more, if needed, like if you had to lug your life savings around in a zombie apocalypse, a suitcase is a lot of bulk, and it can only carry so much value in paper money, moreover that paper money might suddenly lose its "silver certificate" or "gold certificate" value if the Fed is not willing to give you that silver or gold certificate for it. Wait, we discussed this already, they stopped backing it with equivalent silver or gold long time ago, probably on purpose too. So anyway, a value embedded into it coinage precious metal currency would be resilient against sudden hyperinflation, and it would never ever be swept up in the streets, because you could take it to a jeweler or scrap yard at least. You would still need arbitrage, and because of that, the face value would always have to be higher than the intrinsic value, such as a $100 iridium-alloy coin would have a $50 or $10 intrinsic value, which should still give enough arbitrage wiggle room for the arbitrage economic bloodsuckers to live off of, who are essential for economic prosperity, such as brokers and bankers, while protecting the public and much of the rest of the world against a sudden currency crash. Of course with a smooth inflation the intrinsic value would get closer and closer to the face value until it surpassed it, such as the pre-1965 silver containing quarters have it, and the currency would be periodically replaced, long before that happened, while the public would turn the preexisting coinage into collectible items and wealth store reserves, kind of like it's done with US quarters and half dollars or any metal coinage with embedded, carried within, intrinsic value, but that kind of thing of course does not happen with paper money, nobody's as interested in collecting paper dollars from pre-1965, because, unlike a quarter with a face value of 25 cents legal tender you can buy ice cream for it if you're stupid enough because the melt down value is like $2 or $10 depending on where the price of silver stands, but paper money cannot be molten down and if it says $1 pre-1965, that's still the most it can be worth today, including maybe toilet paper value in case it ends up being swept up in the streets. I personally lived through like 4 years of hyperinflation in the early 90's, and all I can say it's no big deal, well it is, but life goes on and adapts.

As far as the main topic is concerned, pandemix and whatnot, I just figured out that the grey goo "war is evolving" crap is coming through my tapwater. Whether it's intentionally put in there (and I'm thinking that's the case, because of Obamacare and because it's been getting thicker lately) or whether it just naturally occurs, as in lake water filtered through plain green sand, unfluoridate and unchlorinated - which, there is two sides to everything, it may be best not to sterilize it or treat it with chlorine and fluoride, because, while in high doses those things are sterilizing, where they dilute down and provide a continuous less than lethal, sublethal dose environment, they strongly drive natural selection toward adapting to them, by lifeforms that survive it difficultly, and then the ones find easier ways to survive it will proliferate. This applies to all kinds of biocides, antibiotics, as life adapts, life adapted to oxygen atmospheres (for example, you an i are oxygen breathing) and in theory it could adapt to elemental fluorine gas atmospheres or surfaces where it had to walk around in molten, liquid alkali metals (kinda like the NaK coolant accidents from reactors, where someone gets sprayed by a hose that pops and dies very fast, that's only a matter of time, given sufficient time life could adapt to getting sprayed by liquid sodium-potassium alloys. (This sentence was left intentionally incomplete, hanging, grammatically incorrect, like you see it in books where they have "this page is left intentionaly blank" pages. Just for kix.)

So anyway, how to deal with grey goo coming through tapwater. I still gotta use it, what else am I gonna do?

One, in a different time, before I was born, at a different place, different world, at a TB hospital where they had to reuse glass/stainless syringes by sterilizing them in autoclaves (boiling in water in a pressure cooker that raises boiling points) a rule of thumb was cooking for 30 minutes (35-40) under an exuberantly bubbling condition. Of course that does not guarantee it, as life can adapt to anything, but it's a good rule of thumb to follow, such as when cooking soup with tap water. If you can't bring it to a vehement boil you might have to do it for 2 hrs, which is expensive on the fuel, and if you can only get it really hot without actually boiling, maybe 2 days? Of course this treatment would not clear toxins such as lead or arsenic you might be intentionally poisoned with, but it would probably kill most, or at least a whole lot of pathogens that cause pandemics.

There is always distillation, but drop for drop you're talking a huge input of energy, as the latent heat of evaporation for water is huge. Unless you have a distiller based on free solar energy, or free wind energy this one is likely going to break the bank, but it has the best potential in getting you the cleanest water from nastiest sources, including most inorganic toxins that are not volatile, such as lead, staying behind, not going over into the distillate.

I just though of a 3rd way, semi-distillation, that could save a lot of energy compared to autoclave boiling. It's based on volatile sterilizers, and because they have to be volatile, the choices are few. Chlorine gas and ammonia come to mind. You basically overdose your water laced with pathogens with megadoses of chlorine gas or ammonia gas (chlorine water or ammonia water), let it sit for a while, then distill (or vacuum distill) off the gaseous, unreacted sterilizer, for later reuse. The latent heat of evaporation of say, 3% or 5% ammonia in water is not that much, even less for 3% or 5% chlorine gas, and you might have to get ice cubes and store the liquids in a fridge, but it should be by far the most economical way to process water. And your distillation equipment can be used for either full distillation and paying the dollars for the fuel heat input, electric, gas, etc, or used with the gaseous sterilizers, by recovering most of them. Ammonia might be possible to obtain from urine by drying, then heating (creating ammonia and cyanuric acid, biuret, triuret, etc from urea, and the leftover still a good fertilizer, if anything, being leftover, biuret and triuret it washes off slower into the groundwater), but chlorine gas, and chlorine water should be a lot more economical these days, being easily generated from regular table salt via electrolysis with a suitable anode, and having a whole lot of punch per gram, compared to ammonia. Bleach in stores is relatively cheap and works well as a disinfectant, but when you need boatloads of it, DIY should be cheaper, after some initial investment. Plus you're not sending plastic jugs to landfills. If they had ways to refill bleach jugs, ehh? Life is too good yet for that, these days, but those days are coming, eventually.

Only 2 things can come of Microsoft messing with Linux. One, they embrace extend extinguish it like so many other things, in a Suse/Novell tag on some proprietary crap onto it that becomes a de facto standard, then mess up the miracle of Linux that way, once they control it as a standard, and beat everyone into obedience to them, kind of like trying to beat every customer into dotnet, which is not flying very well. Dotnet is a bloatload of crap massive stuck in honey like quicksand waste of efficiency and performance and verbosity. Yeah, verbose is specific, but come on maaaan. Who got that much time in their lives to scan through so many letters and characters, or how can you come up with a trick to skip the unimportant details and focus on the relevant stuff. Even oldschool VB and VBA had a With/End With construct, so what's with all this dotnet and python and java verbosity these days.
2. Microsoft gives in to Linux and hands over the olympic torch or relay race stick to Linux and they disappear. Their job is to maintain their own variability and survive in the computing field, without either driving other varieties to extinction, nor going themselves extinct. Every time Microsoft messes with Linux both of those things are at the forefront. If anything, they should mess with "Unix" as a standard, whereby whatever they create or mess with works equally on commercial Unix like AIX or Solaris or Irix or HP-UX or SCO Unix, or OSX, FreeBSD and other BSD's, ...and.. Linux. In fact some kind of commercial Microsoft Unix might be welcome, at a low price competing with AIX or SCO, without messing with the GPL and trying to subdue the Linux side of Unix. In fact I'd love to see a realtime souped up MS DOS with full hardware access (they are paranoid about giving hardware access anymore) for offline applications, MS Unix, MS Desktop/Workstation/Server Windows, and MS Mobile Windows, where you could blend the mobile and desktop aspects on a laptop or netbook, or the Workstation/Server aspects on a desktop, or do any of those varieties on any of the devices, of course the mobile version flying leaving everything in the dust on a workstation hardware, but very low on features, kinda like mobile versions of twitter and facebook, they are fast like google and simple, and sometimes that's all you want, but if you got the cpu muscle and electricity to spare, go for the eyecandy full of details glittering versions, but those versions bring netbooks to their knees because of hardware requirements. Give the customer options to pick from, instead of trying to bludgeon them into abiding to your worldview, because, ultimately the customer is king, and does not have to make a purchase. Unless Obama passes an Obamacare for Microsoft where he forces everyone to buy a yearly Windows 10 rental subscription, no matter what the price, or no matter what crappy product or service a customer gets in return. How about Obama forces everyone to buy gas utility service no matter what the price, where it's available, and if the you cannot afford it, he'll pay for it himself in your name as private profit into his buddies pockets working at utility companies that made their campaign contributions when he was elected, and he'll use all those surplus dollars sitting in the government treasury doing nothing, put that money to work, infuse the economy with it, why have it sit piled up in a stash. Oh wait, the government coffers are empty? Sorry, I forgot. Hey, these days when everyone goes reckless with credit, all that does is it dilutes the value of the dollar and sends inflation into a spiral, first starting with yogurt cups at Walmart dropping to super micro sizes to maintain the same price, but sooner or later the floodgates are gonna open and once people get used to spiraling prices, it's best to maintain debt because tomorrow you'll have to pay back a whole lot less, especially when interest rates are crazy low. But when it comes to forced purchases, hey, even with health insurance a whole lot depends on price. If it's 50 cents/mo, hey, I might buy it, but if it's 50,000/mo then of course no. How can you pass a law to make people buy stuff at arbitrary prices? Yeah, the upside is that people don't show up uninsured and doctors don't have to work for free, but the downside is price abuse from arbitrary prices, which is an even graver problem, because it applies to all 300 million citizens, as opposed to the case of say, 50 million that are uninsured out of which 1 million might show up uninsured. If anything, all these mandatory purchases from private parties need some kind of fair rules on prices, where one is able to look up their own price based on age, sex, medical history points, and people can vote on it. Yeah, price regulation sucks ass, but I don't see how else you can force people to make a purchase from private for profit companies. Same goes for car insurance. How can you guarantee everyone gets a fair price, and there is no discrimination? A great solution would be a gas tax coupled with points on the driver's license yearly renewal fee to compensate for individual behavior, a point system maybe more fine grained than the 10-12 points, maybe down to 100 points, a lot of it based on driving patterns from cell phone tracking, traffic cameras. You know it's all tracked, right?

So anyway, when it comes to Microsoft messing with Linux or GPL, just don't fuck with it. Fuck with Unix where the stuff is not specifically targeting Linux, but works on BSD, OSX, commercial Unices, like so many Unix programs work on many Unixes, not just Linux or BSD.

Live and let live.

I haven't been praying much these days because as far as I'm concerned, I have was forced to pray 7 lifetimes worth of rosaries when I was 5-10 years old, 3 hrs each evening, til I rebelled, but I started praying again, every waking moment I pray that Obama and Biden and Clinton and all their family suffer the exact same pain and suffering their corrupt healthcare law they enacted causes to those people who don't buy, including forced infections and forced cancers, at least as long as this corrupt law stands and is not abolished. I don't own a fucking fee to anybody for being alive, especially not to some for profit private party, and if that means I have to die instead of go to a hospital, so be it. While this law stands I do no step foot inside a hospital, and if I am taken there by force, I will do whatever is in my power to lay wreck to expensive equipment or create as much damage in return as I possibly can, til they shoot me like a circus elephant gone rampant. If I can take out a ct-scan machine before being shot and killed, I have not lived in vain. Goddamn, God please damn health care people like doctors that say things like you're gonna beg to die once we infect you with our soft tissue expertise, and let them suffer that fate themselves instead, including all people involved in this quest to make another dollar by willful infections, including insurance agents and politicians, let them and their families all suffer from forced infections and death like they cause it to other people, as long as this corrupt law called Obamacare stands. Amen. Forced gambling policy purchases at arbitrary prices from for profit entitites? What the fuck ever.

the issue with carbon recycling the form of CO2 is twofold - it's a gas that must be stored under high pressure, like propane or butane, and two, it's not so great on energy density once you have to capture and haul along the heavy CO2 from like an automobile... harvesting CO2 from the atmosphere via ethanol amine ponds could be pondered, but otherwise all green life forms compete for the 0.03% CO2 in air, which is rising though and creates global warming and desertification or junglification and bad weather, but by far the fastest growing tomatoes are grown in the Dead Sea Valley which is the lowest dry point on Earth, and the sole reason is partial pressure of CO2 and carbon availablity is the highest anywhere in the world... such is the issue with scarcity of CO2 scrubbed from the atmosphere, but that is not to say, that when you have energy to blow, like solar in a desert, and nothing good to store it into, harvesting even humidity and CO2 from the atmosphere wasting a ton of energy because energy is cheap is not economically feasible

but otherwise, if a full recycling circle is done, a liquid or solid end product carried back to a recycling gas station is preferable, and in this lithium borohydride to lithium borate fuel cell for cars sounds like an expensive but leaves the CO2 recycling in the dust, or, even just lithium metal, beryllium metal (toxid), boron, or aluminum, and their hydrides beat carbon in energy storing efficiency by weight, but for stationary home based uses environmentally fairly friendly alkaline zinc air or iron air battery type setups might be more economical on a storage density by volume and cost basis even if by weight they both suck, and the zinc or electrolytic iron cathodes can be removed and stacked in a pile..

carbon's main ergonomic and energy efficiency efficiency lies in the fact that it's a gas that can be freely emitted through an exhaust, and capturing it back from that dilute form is very expensive energy wise.. not emitting it, and capturing it, like a car that has no exhaust pipe and instead embarks on compressing and heat echange cooling the CO2 into a compressed liquid cylinder has all kinds of issues, similar to the loco loco's page i'll cite below in the references

ref 1: chart I made a while back that relates to rocket fuels and this CO2 recycling question:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...
it also explains why the space shuttle running on liquid hydrogen was such a bad idea, compared to solid rocket boosters based on aluminum - just compare carbon, hydrogen and aluminum (or boron or beryllium or lithium) in the above chart. Yes hydrogen has the highest energy storage density by weight even if it really really sucks by volume (cryogenic hydrogen that must be vented to stay cold is only 1/8th the density of water) and plain gasoline has more hydrogen in a gallon than cryogenic liquid hydrogen does, true it weighs a whole lot more.. still.. if you have to carry along the oxidizer too, such as liquid oxygen required for rockets, hydrogen sucks compared to aluminum powder powered solid rocket boosters even that mammoth dinosaur contraption of a Shuttle had to resort to just to get up there into space

ref.2 here is a chart I made a while back that somebody revised into svg with python
  http://commons.wikimedia.org/w...
here is the original I made with an Excel screenshot
  http://commons.wikimedia.org/w...
note that iron and zinc, with easy aqueous battery chemistries leave liquid hydrogen in the dust when it comes to energy density by volume, but they do suck by weight indeed.. boron, aluminum, silicon, lithium have no easy aqueous recycling chemistries, though some semi-aqueous processes might be found that are economical for both the abundant aluminum and magnesium. I'm a big fan of liquid ammonia, as it can be made from water and nitrogen with energy input, if they could only find suitable processes.. that is one of the most elusive problems in inorganic chemistry (or organic) is efficient nitrogen fixation, because even the Haber Bosch process wastes a ton of energy in compression, which could be recouperated though similar to reverse osmosis membrane desalination processes, but both RO and Haber are large scale processes, and for small scale, like hillbilly yeoman farmer DIY home based processes, distillation or lithium nitride energy wasting but easy to small scale electrolyze processes may be more feasible

ref 3. a lovely discussion related to efficiency and ergonomics and maintenance complication nightmares involving steam locomotives, such as compound engines or lugging around huge condensers, and when push comes to shove the savings if fuel are often hard to justify if fuel is relatively cheap, and the simple steam engine with the superheater only complication for fuel savings, developed by Wilhelm Schmidt in the 1880's, after James Watt in the 1700's created the gobbly clunky vacuum steam engine which was huge compared to the power output, but safe, for stationary mining applications such as pumping sump water, and still beat beast of burden muscle power economically when coal was plenty, but the real and only true breakthrough in steam engine design was the high pressure (but unsafe) compacting of steam power, done by many but Stephenson's Rocket of 1829 gave the first heat transfer rate for any kind of decent horsepower, through increasing the surface area for heat exchange contact via a boiler with multiple tiny flue tubes going through it... boiler and heat exchanger design hasn't advanced much from that shape, tube and shell boiler or heat exchanger, ever since, I wonder if it's even possible to advance, but inadvertently all tube and boiler heat exchangers, even stainless ones, suffer from a single issue: corrosion or fatigue failure, especially at the weld or joining points, and tube leaks

there is a yummi adventure of pages upon pages of technology through simplicity design enthusiasts.. i especially like the nonround wheel invention for better traction from increased contact surface areas when in good contact with the ground, how about them wind cutter shapes that slice through the wind and send it sideways, as opposed to fish shapes or raindrop shapes that tell that in hydrodynamics and aerodynamics you can have a blunt tip but it is the boundary layer separation and vacuum cavitation in the back thats the real issue, and there is a maximum slope you can have to avoid boundary layer separations, while in a perfect fluid, like liquid helium below the lamda point approximates as superfluidity, and craws up along the walls of vessels and out of them, hydrodynamic drag becomes very low for almost any shape, because the pressure from the back is equal the pressure from the front, and viscous forces and cavitation from them is near nil

btw let me take this opportunity to say fuck Obamacare not about you but his filthy rich scam artist insurance buddies that need to all find an honest way to make a living, and fuck willful infecting of people over it, also fuck Monsanto that designs the infections, and lays waste to the wilderness of nature by promoting lawn mowing carried to an excess, and killing of flowers that they brainwash everyone into thinking it's "weed", something that must be eradicated by spraying it with their roundup, so they can make another dollar from this senseless destruction of wilderness and genetic variability and the whole world follows like lemmings, and there is green flowerless deserts everywhere as far as the eye can see.. what about the butterflies and the bees? i mean weed killer and insecticides to protect food crops, yeah.. but just for a mere admiring of otherwise useless piece of land and claiming that flowerless lawns are appropriate, and promoting it to the whole world where it used to not be done, i say fuck Monsanto to that.. thank you for letting me get that out of my system and I will keep doing it til the minute I die or things change

Yeah, like good luck trying to win a case against Microsoft or IBM or similar patent trolls (I think IBM clocks the most patents, but I don't see any products labeled IBM I'm using, so it's like they are not really innovating, more like trolling, unlike Arm chips for instance, or even Intel and AMD), as there is no judge or lawyers alive who will go against the big dogs and risk their own livelihood and own children's welfare pissing them up while upholding justice. So that's all that intellectual property laws ensure, more ways and means to abuse power, and the lil guy, the individual inventor has all the more reason to hate intellectual property rules they concocted out of nothing, cuz all they get out of that is abuse from people that got good at not creating anything, but abusing the artifacts and subjugating everyone else into intellectual property slavery. And Microsoft and gang is pretty high up on that list when it comes to abuses, and they, but also Disney, are the main reason why intellectual property in general is viewed as something horrible, besides some publishing or label houses that pay like 50/50 or much less to the actual creators.
