katie asked:


I have a 1998 24 valve cummins trubo diesel truck, and I was wondering what do we need to replace to have the truck run on biodiesel. I have heard that this model may need replacement of the fuel pump, but im not sure what kind of fuel pump I would need. I am planning on using 100% rather than the lower blends, or filtered vegitable oil

Can hydrogen power, fuel cells, or electric power give the same range and hp/torque we have in our cars now?

Elizabeth M asked:


I am also wondering if they can help us reduce weight of vehicles as well and give cars better handling characteristics. And when it comes to range, is there a way to recharge an electric/hydro/fuel cell car’s energy supply at some sort of station within the same time it takes to fill a car’s tank with fuel?

What are the advantages and dis-advantages of each type of energy?

Sweety asked:


Can you please tell me the advantages and dis-advantages for any type of energy. If you don’t know what I mean by different types of energy, I mean hydro- electricity, fossil fuels, etc.

Im interested in green energy and sustainable fuel sources, what are the ways to make green while being green?

I’m going to be an owner/operator in a biodiesel manufacturing plant and I will have millions of gallons of biodiesel to sell, (if theres anyone looking for a large supply, here i am!) But i am looking to find out what other options are available in addition to what i will already be doing to make money in this area?

Im especially interested in ways to sell back to the power grid.

I do know a decent amount about solar panels and wind, but are there any other ideas out there or really ingenius ways to add to this desire?

What better way to make money helping the earth!

if you’ve got any information or suggestions that cant be posted privately, feel free to contact me!

PS: please make no mistake, this is mostly about my desire to succeed and profit in business within this industry!

How can we free America from Oil dependence?

The Dragonslayer asked:


It seems as though America depends a lot on the middle east and other foreign sources for oil. Which alternative energy solutions would provide viable sources of fuel for our future? Wind / Solar / Hydro / combination? Why can’t we figure out better ways to travel than using gasoline? This is America - let’s brainstorm… freedom is inherently dependent on independence. Meaning - less things from foreign sources, more fuels from local sources…

Why do many feminists say that men are not needed, worthless, unnecessary, and contribute nothing to society?

LycraSpandex asked:


Many women say men are irrelevant and not needed.

One feminist misandrist said “a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.”

Since many feminists say that men are superfluous to women’s needs, then explain why men have been responsible for human’s greatest inventions?

Inventions by men:

Cars
Airplanes
Computers
Internet
Ships/Boats
Highways
Bridges
Homes/Apartments
Skyscrapers
Space Flight
Satellites
Western Philosophy
Astronomy
Physics
Cures and treatments to innumerable diseases
Environmentalist inventions (hybrid technology, alternate fuel sources, solar power, hydro-electric power, etc.)
Arts (the world’s greatest artists throughout history have been men, the world’s greatest musicians and composers, directors, cinemetographers, actors, and writers)
Sports
Fertilization of the ovary

And I’m sure many women here either find use or partake in most of men’s creations listed above.

So feminists, why are men useless and superfluous again?
Nice try, but civilization itself is a creation by both men and women, not solely women.

Agriculture, on the otherhand was also started by men. The majority of farmers throughout the world today are men.
ka1227: True, the arts, physics, philosophy, and astronomy are not “inventions.” I realize that. I was more or less adding them because these are fields where men have overwhelmingly contributed the most. However, you can say that philosophy, astronomy, and physics were STARTED by men (but not invented). The premise is still the same (of men creating it).
Also, KA1227, “fertilization of the ovary” may not be an invention, but it IS a contribution from men that is necessary to keep the human species and civilization going. Which still follows the same premise of this question — are men really worthless and unnecessary?
You seem angry that I brought this (relevant) issue up.
And my mistake, it should say “fertilization of the egg.”

Just looking for some general tips on living greener, things such as solar panels, etc, that won’t cost a lot to implement? Of course, solar panels cost a fortune, but it’s an example. Thanks!
