Let's Connect to Hybrid Nuclear/Fusion

It's worth the read!

Countries the world over are poised to spend trillions of dollars on what is arguably the dirtiest form of power generation known to man -- Nuclear Fission.

This short and informative article from New Scientist magazine provides an easy understanding of the various methods, compares fission and fusion, and briefs the reader on a promising new technology called Hybrid Nuclear Fusion.

Hybrid fusion: the third nuclear option - opinion 
04 March 2010 - New Scientist:

"Hybrid nuclear fusion combines the two forms of nuclear power, fission and fusion, in a single reactor. This has several advantages over fission alone: it minimises the environmental impact, reduces risks, enlarges reserves of nuclear fuel and is more flexible to operate."

Connecting to the Environment

James Lovelock, warms to eco-sceptics | Charles Clover - Times Online: "

“I think you have to accept that the sceptics have kept us sane — some of them, anyway,” he said. “They have been a breath of fresh air. They have kept us from regarding the science of climate change as a religion. It had gone too far that way. There is a role for sceptics in science. They shouldn’t be brushed aside. It is clear that the angel side wasn’t without sin.”"

A somewhat wordy, but well-rounded and current view of the global warming debacle.

Connecting diet and health in a quick and easy read.

I've been studying nutrition since my 1970's hippy days and this one book distils much of what I've learned into a few simple-to-follow, common sense, guidelines. A great bathroom read! Fits in a pocket of briefcase.

Simple, concise, rules to nutritional health. No hoopla. No expensive diet supplements. No fancy diets.

Let's Consider Foreign Ownership in Telecom

Ottawa to rewrite telecom rules - The Globe and Mail:
"The announcement marks a significant milestone in the Harper government's effort to loosen ownership restrictions, which are groaning under the crush of new technologies and consumer dissatisfaction with limited competition.

It is also likely to spark discussions about the numerous opportunities for mergers across the profitable telecom landscape – at companies both within and outside Canada."
