Amount of energy all humans use every year = 47,400 × 10 x 16 joules
(80 to 90 % from fossil fuels.)

Amount of energy all healthy human body require every year = 8.4 x 10 x 16 joules ( @ 7 Billion People)

so basically we're all using and consuming up 5700 times more energy than we require for all of our bodies basic health, no wonder obesity is the biggest healthy concern of the day.

they should call us gluttons not humans.

 Gulf Oil Leak Cap 201024 comments

well I talked to some experts on the balloon idea and they figured it wouldn't work as they said the pressures involved are as high as 10,000 PSI.....
so
I looked at the original idea and revised it a bit.

yo capping teams

well my chief concern is that reports suggest that not much oil is leaking from the well bore itself so if they cover it with the dome chamber without cutting or ripping the old oil slack/ pipe off first it won't do much good as the oil will continue to leak from the pipe now under the seal of the anchor dome cap even with the domes 100 tonne weight possibly. If this is to work it would perhaps be better then if the old oil pipe stack were cut or ripped off first by the submersibles and allow the well bore to gush perhaps more fully but then by opening the siphon or bleeder hose valve above the dome chamber to allow the oil to flow thru and up then the dome can thus be more properly set down on the now gushing well bore but at least the leaking pipe will not be a concern. Visibly though is going to be a big and critical factor and concern and I wonder if tagging the well bore with some positioning sensors or ? of some sort would ultimately help guide in the placement of the containment tower. This is a long shot and may also be a one shot affair if they don't keep the lowering cables tied to the dome handy up above in case they want to try something later. Talk about your Houston we have a problem

anyway just some thoughts

The Oil Conundrum

Odd thing though about oil, is if you keep the price low, people will just use more, but if you keep the price high people will use less but other people will see it as an opportunity to make money by exploiting on a costly resource so, you can't win it seems unless you tax away the profits on oil with a carbon tax or such and use the proceeds of the carbon tax on oil to subsidize the renewable sector and public transportation perhaps.

LAMENT FOR A BETTER DAY

Ah.... dull humanity, what dead civilization we have fashioned and wrought from so much destructive hubris and lies, that in such need and want of plain and simple truths.
We thus stand here as a mockery to sense and good constitution, wallowing in our toil and self-loathing.
For what honest joy and valor could there ever be in our hollow and self professed praise, like some bunch-like mutual admiration society of fools, when even young children are oft more capable and better students of this mystery and wonder known as Earth and Life.
Still one and we can ever dream, that Spirit, Time and Love will set such well, just and right.
