@piero.magnani .... basically, you can't go wrong when picking a project(s) to crunch. They are all important. Some people crunch depending on their beliefs... some crunch projects due to events in their life (cancer survivors, relatives of cancer/illness victims, etc). Some crunch everything (because they have the CPU/GPU power to do it). I for myself, have changed strategies a couple of times due to increased project life. But in a nutshell, anything you crunch is goodness... you can't go wrong.

I have dfficulties everytime a new project is announced. CEP2! CEP2! CEP2! CEP2! First of all I don't have the knowledge to understand what is more important. Piero piero.magnani@alice.it Reduce the toxic loading (arsenic, mercury, heavy metals) of the environment by reducing or eliminating the burning of carbonaceous forms of energy, and you reduce the causes of cancer and dirty water. The reactive-only approach of finding cures for cancer and cleaning dirty water is analogous to searching for ever better bandages without doing anything about the guy who keeps on stabbing you. And it begs the question: How long can reactive science keep up when population expansion currently equates to an increased demand for energy which in turn currently equates to more toxins emitted into the environment? A proactive approach - such as CEP2 - is a necessity. How about we burn the fossil fuels BUT REQUIRE that ALL emissions be water filtered?! THEN we can work on filtering the chemicals out of the water while breathing cleaner air in the process. Almost all power plants are built near, or on, a large body of water for cooling, make them run the exhaust gases thru the water, trapping the particulates, and then filter the water before releasing it into the water stream. Cheap, NOT ON YOUR LIFE, but neither is lung cancer or emphysema etc, etc, etc!! Maybe they could even 'enhance' the water to catch more particulates making the water even cleaner than when it goes into the plant!   |
