El Planetario
Tocaron free los LFC la semana pasada.
Pero no es eso.
Sino que de pendex quedé re flashado mal mirando el sistema solar, la cupula llena de estrellas, la musica de Kitaro and Vangelis, que yo no sabía quienes eran aun, y bueh todo ese verde alrededor de la nave espacial super moderna.
Más tarde pintó La Rubia, mi lance, el amor de primavera a puro alce generalizado, el noviazgo y la posterior perdida, tipica mia en aquellos tiempos.
Nadie cuidaba peor las cosas que yo.
Ahora puedo hacer rápidamente un Fix you.
Pero tarde siempre tarde.
No tiene la menor gracia. Nah.

Mapas
I love maps, en cualquier forma, de cualquier modo...
De hecho he reservado en la librería escolar de los chicos, por finnn, un globo planetario con luz interior para poner en el living y que ellos viajen con su imaginación y aprendan al iwal que yo.
Si si si, es cierto que nada like Google Earth, ahi tenés el chivo, la herramienta para viajar sin viajar! más poderosa do mondo. Dame dos!

La vida de los otros
Es mucha más la gente amiga que quedó atrás.
Buenos momentos.Noches alucis de recis, dance and bares y fiestas at home.
Karaokes descontrolados, recitales enteros arriba de la mesa, barcitos improvisados
en cocinas de colores milka, perder anillo en Cemento, bailar la cumbia Decadente o Solci en discos de mala muerte en algún lugar recóndito de BA, trepar un muro enorme para ver a la Bersuit en All Boys y saltarlo, ver a los Babasónicos en la costa atlántica, colarse en Obras varias veces entre el montón, fumar porro en un Vélez de recital de Metallica o en el River de The Cult sobre el barro back in 1991, viajar lejos para ver a los Redondos, disfrutar de los últimos conciertos de Soda en el Rex, Sabina en el Luna en un winter de hace demasiado mucho en 1991, despertar en la playa después de noche dance de descontrol en SanBer, amanecer a cualquier hora cuando la pista se acabó, en fin todo concluye al fin...
//
Muchos tickets formidables para momentos que se fueron al fondo del cajón de la memoria que se va.
Mucha buena gente, chicas I mean exes, or whatever también.
Es mucha más la que no veo ni ví jamás más.
Que la que camina conmigo ahora.
Abismal diferencia.
Carísima nostalgia. No es eso.
Es que...

And la vieja y querida:
Desilusión amiga unforgettable e inseparable.
Todas esas las viví, las pasé, las hice sufrir.
Que nunca sea poco y salud!

Mis Nonos lindos están en problemas.
Mi hermano y familia leenda está en problemas.
Mi mom está en problemas.
Mi viejo nació pobrecito con problemas.
La familia de Vivian siempre tiene problemas.
Las chicas que conozco tienen problemas.
En mi trabajo hay problemas.
En mi barrio hay pobreza problema.
En mi pais hay problemas.
En el desmonte hay problemas, para plantar soja precio oro internacional.
En las selvas virgenes hay podadoras problemas que derriban amigos árboles.
En los oceanos hay problemas, tiburones en extinción, bancos de atunes que ya no están alli,
y cientos de especies marinas que desaparecen por la depredación enlatada de nosotros, la humanidá finita.
En el cielo que es hermoso de día, hay problemas. Rayos nocivos penetran en la tierra provocando que tu sun tan no sea tan tan cope, porque tiene el germen del cancer, que antes no.
En el planeta HAY problemas porque todo lo que te cuento no te mueve un pelo, porque no hacés nada más que viajar a tu trabajo, pagar las cuentas y no regas ni plantas una sola nada.
HAY problemas en todos lados porque la politica politicamente correcta no admite el razonamiento de la gente común.
Mi problema no es que no haya problemas, sino resolver todos los días problemas que pueden ser evitados.
Si cada uno asume con responsabilidá su rol, su lugar, su libertá divina...
//
En mi vida hay problemas porque se me canta la imperfección.
En mi vida hay.
En la tierra hay.
En my solar system there´s you.

An Energy Lesson
Energy = the ability to do work
About half a million years ago human beings learned to make fire. By collecting and burning wood they were able to warm themselves, cook food and manufacture primitive implements. Thousands of years later the Egyptians discovered the principle of the sail. Later still came the invention of the water wheel. All these activities utilise various forms of energy - biological, chemical, solar and hydraulic.
Living standards
Energy, 'the ability to do work', is essential for meeting basic human needs, extending life expectancy and providing a rising living standard.
We have progressed over many thousands of years from a primitive life, which depended for energy on the food that could be gathered, to the hunters who had more food and used fire for heating and cooking, to the early farmers who used domesticated animals as a source of energy to do work.
We took our first steps in the use of mechanical energy with the harnessing of wind and water power. Later, the industrial revolution, based on coal and steam power, laid the foundations for today's technological society, with significant developments such as the internal combustion engine and the large-scale generation of electricity.
Population
Together with this increasing energy consumption, it has been possible for the world to sustain an ever increasing population. At present, however, three quarters of world energy production is consumed by the one quarter of the world's population living in the industrialised countries.
Continuing rapid growth is foreseen in the near future, with the world's population rising from the present 6 billion to about 8 billion over the next 25 years, and perhaps 10 billion later in the century. Most of the population growth will be in the developing countries, which is where more than three quarters of the world's people already live.
Such a population increase will have a dramatic impact on energy demand, at least doubling it by 2050, even if the developed countries adopt more effective energy conservation policies so that their energy consumption does not increase at all over that period.
Energy
can be considered in two categories - primary and secondary.
- Primary energy is energy in the form of natural resources, such as wood, coal, oil, natural gas, natural uranium, wind, hydro power, and sunlight.
- Secondary energy is the more useable forms to which primary energy may be converted, such as electricity and petrol.
Primary energy can be renewable or non-renewable:
- Renewable energy sources include solar, wind and wave energy, biomass (wood or crops such as sugar), geothermal energy and hydro power.
- Non-renewable energy sources include the fossil fuels - coal, oil and natural gas, which together provide over 80% of our energy today, plus uranium.
The availability of energy
There is no shortage of primary energy. The sun pours an abundance on to our planet each day. We see this energy in a variety of forms, ranging from solar radiation, through wind and waves, to trees and vegetation which convert the sun's rays into plant biomass. In addition, there is an enormous amount of energy in the materials of the earth's crust, the fossil fuels also storing energy from the sun. Uranium is an energy source which has been locked into the earth since before the solar system was formed, billions of years ago.
The challenge today is to move away from our heavy dependence on fossil fuels and utilise non-carbon energy resources more fully. Concerns about global warming are a major reason for this.
Fossil fuels
have served us well. Coal was the first to be widely used industrially and to increase people's standard of living. Oil is a convenient source of energy. Because of its easy availability and low price, it played an important role in the economic development of many countries during the past century. It remains vital for much transport. Natural gas is widely used alongside coal and oil, as a very versatile fuel.
But the question of "Why Uranium?" puts the focus on energy sources which are suitable for electricity. Generating electricity already accounts for 40% of primary energy use, and at 2.7% per year, demand for it is growing twice as fast as for total energy worldwide.
Where should this come from? To put the choices into perspective, let us look briefly at the potential and limitations of each source of electric power, beginning with 'renewables'.
Hydro-electric
generating facilities have the attraction of providing electricity without polluting the atmosphere. They harness the energy of falling water, which can occur naturally, but more often has to be engineered by the construction of large dams with lakes behind them. The advantages of hrdro-electricity have long been appreciated and today it provides 18% of the world's power. In many countries most of the suitable dam sites have already been used, thus limiting further major development of this source.
Other renewable energy sources have more potential for increased use, but also have characteristics which limit their ability to play a major role in meeting electricity needs, bearing in mind that much of the demand is for continuous, reliable supply:
Solar energy
has considerable logical and popular appeal. However, for electricity generation solar power has limited potential, as it is too diffuse and too intermittent. First, solar input is interrupted by night and by cloud cover, which means that solar electric generation plant can typically only be used to a small proportion of its capacity. Also, there is a low intensity of incoming radiation and converting this to high-grade electricity is still relatively inefficient (less than 20%), though this has been the subject of much research over several decades.
On a small scale (and at relatively high cost) it is possible to store electricity. On a large scale any solar electric generation has to be worked in with other sources of electricity with full back-up. While it is true that sunlight itself is free, the capital, energy and materials costs of conversion, maintenance and storage are extremely high. The main role of solar energy in the future will be that of direct heating.
Windlike the sun, is 'free' and is increasingly harnessed for electricity. About 20,000 megawatts capacity is now installed around the world. However, in meeting most electricity demand, similar back-up issues arise as for solar. It is not always available when needed, and some means is required to provide substitute capacity for windless periods. Nevertheless, costs have come down, and contracts for electricity from some new US plants are as low as for conventional sources.
Geothermal
energy comes from natural heat below the earth's surface. Where hot underground steam can be tapped and brought to the surface it may be used to generate electricity. Such geothermal sources have potential in certain parts of the world, and some 8000 MWe of capacity is operating. There are also prospects in other areas for pumping water underground to very hot regions of the earth's crust and using the steam thus produced for electricity generation.
Biomass
Most forests and agricultural crops are technically capable of being converted into some form of energy, even if the primary purpose of the crop is to provide food. There are also some 'energy farms', where crops are produced solely for energy production. Such farms however compete with other crops for water, fertiliser and land use, thus requiring some choice between fuel and food. Biomass does provide a useful and growing source of energy, especially for rural communities in third world countries, and organic waste and water plants can be used to produce methane or 'biogas'. Nevertheless, it is only likely to play a very small role overall.
Thus as we head into a new century, the only energy resources available for economic large-scale electricity generation are likely to be gas, coal and nuclear.
Oil
has generally become too expensive to use for electricity and it has the great advantage of being a portable fuel suitable for transport. Wherever possible it is conserved for special uses, such as transport and in the petrochemical industry.
Gas
can be seen in the same way as oil, as being too valuable to squander for uses such as large-scale electricity generation. But after the oil price shocks of the 1970s, increased exploration efforts revealed huge deposits of natural gas in many parts of the world and today these are extensively used for power stations. The main virtue of gas however is that it can be reticulated safely and cheaply to domestic and industrial users and burned there to provide heat very efficiently. It is also a valuable chemical feedstock.
Coal
is abundant and world production is about 3.5 billion tonnes per year, most of this being used for electricity. It dominates the scene, and produces 38% of all electricity worldwide, while uranium produces 16%. In OECD countries the figures are closer together: 38% and 24% respectively.
Uranium
is also abundant, and technologies exist which can extend its use 60-fold if demand requires it. World mine production is about 35,000 tonnes per year, but a lot of the market is being supplied from secondary sources such as stockpiles, including material from dismantled nuclear weapons. Practically all of it is used for electricity.
Economics
The difference in fuel requirements between coal fired and nuclear power stations also affects their economics. The cost of fuel for a nuclear power station is very much less than for an equivalent coal fired power station, usually sufficient to offset the much higher capital cost of constructing a nuclear reactor. Consequently, in practical terms, electricity from nuclear reactors in many regions is competitive with electricity produced from coal, even after providing for management and disposal of radioactive wastes and the decommissioning of reactors.
As gas prices rise and coal faces the prospect of economic constraints on its emissions, nuclear energy looks increasingly attractive.
Electricity generation - the future fuel mix
For most countries the questions that need to be answered are: What are our likely electricity requirements? What forms of generation are available to us? Which combination will affordably provide our needs with maximum security, and the least harm to our population and environment?
In mid 2001, there were 31 countries of varying size, political persuasion and degree of industrial development, which included nuclear power in their energy mix and were operating nuclear reactors. Over 16% of the world's electricity is being produced by more than 440 reactors, with 30 more under construction. Belgium, China, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Japan, Russia, Switzerland, UK and USA are just some of the countries with major nuclear energy programs.
In 2000 there was as much electricity produced from nuclear energy as from all sources worldwide in 1961 (2438 billion kilowatt-hours).
No country would want to be too dependent on a single energy source. For many it is therefore not a question of coal or nuclear for their main supply of electricity, but a combination of both, with as much help as possible from renewable sources, and back-up from gas.
To quote an Indian physicist, the late Dr Homi Bhabha,"No energy is more expensive than no energy".
To Investigate or Consider:
- How important is it to provide for all the world's population to enjoy living standards comparable with those in developed or western countries today?
- What is the role of energy in providing for high standards of living? Is it more or less important with high population densities?
- Since 1960 the proportion of electricity in total energy use has almost doubled. Why is this?
- There is a view that increasing the proportion of electricity in total energy used is the most effective form of energy conservation. Why might this be?
- What factors are likley to affect the price of fossil fuels over the next 20 years?
- What will be the effect of increased prices for them, especially oil?
- What are the different waste management strategies for spent nuclear fuel in UK, France and Japan on the one hand and USA, Sweden and Switzerland on the other?
- What are your answers to the three questions in the fourth last paragraph in the main text above?
Of course, left aside of this article learn about the current crisis food with a direct relation in the production of "bio fuel" based on natural "green" oil.
