RESOURCE CRISIS AND COOL TECHNOLOGIES!

Is that why they have banned plastics? I am always suspicious of the big Government. 

This conversion technology looks simple. The inventor has not added anything except heat and you get oil from waste plastic.

If you know why HEMP cultivation was banned in India, OK, If you don't know then probe, why?

Worth your two minutes to watch the video.

China's electricity generation from wind surpassed nuclear. She added 19.000 megawatt capacity during 2011 and 2012. 

The Government held back nuclear expansion after Fukushima to review safety standards. 

India failed to achieve any capacity addition during the same period. It's idiotic nuclear policy mired in all sorts of controversy, technical incompetence and people's opposition, and in general it's bogus coal-hydro-nuclear fixation will keep India dark and without the promised 100 units per capita for decades.

Now, design your home around renewable, static geo-thermal for maintaining inside temp at around 17 degrees Centigrade, a lounge that faces the waterfall. Roof partially solar, one bathroom open to sky and another solar heated one. All construction material strictly local-stones, timber, bamboo, mud, slate stone for roofing, no cement-concrete work. 

Except one's study....extremely high-tech. 

If the price is right, I'd replace all the partitioning walls of my apartment with graphene bricks.

This could be safer and low cost solution to America's energy problem for problem it is and a huge one. It is not only that they use 25% of oil produced each year in the world, they are most wasteful as well. And they have embarked on a strategy to control all energy sources by force which means endless wars which is the biggest energy guzzler. 

On the other hand European countries have opted for decentralized, distributed and renewable systems; often a mix of solar, wind, recycled waste, etc. Such distributed systems are not prone to grid failure, sabotage or engineering failure which no one can gurantee will not happen. 

Hence what Amory Lovins says is worth considering by investors, policy makers and the people. Forget India....this remains a slave country and those involved in framing energy policy are insane people who are pushing  Nuclear, coal and hydro.  

Hemp house is easy to do, better than most materil types, available in plenty and is environmental friendly. 

In course of our seven-year long series of  studies [92-99] mapping construction system across India, we found hundreds of types of systems based on natural materials but did not come across one which is hemp based and hemp grows everywhere in India. 

Although this is nothing new and similar or even better technology has existed since the time the first diesel engine was designed [for example, the first engine ran on vegetable oil; an entire car can be built using hemp fibre and run on hemp oil] but the question is this: Why are car manufacturers not mass manufacturing fuel efficient vehicles? The answer is in the question itself: they simply don't want to. If cars came to be assembled using natural fibres and advance hybrid, it will finish off the oil and steel business, both controlled by a cabal of European old families headed by that worm Prince Philip.  

In India, such a car can easily give over 100 kilometres to a litre of diesel under normal operating condition. However, would the Government of India incentivize any manufacturer? NEVER. We are all paying 500% tax on the basic production cost [extraction+processing+distribution+refiners profit] which supports Government of India's profligacy and that money actually encourages inefficiencies as well. It is all a global criminal nexus. 

Now, this is something just about anyone with basic knowledge of plumbing can do in his backyard or roof top and get endless supply of hot water. Made almost entirely of scraps and discarded metal pipes [except the copper coil and some valves] it's an ideal DIY stuff. 

I think this concept can be tweaked to build a room heating system in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand where people still use wood fired stove shaped almost exactly like the contraption in the picture, except that in traditional Himalayan stove there is possibly 50% heat loss and it last about one/two year because manufacturers low quality tin sheets.

This is something worth trying because in every village there is plenty of waste wood from lopping, twigs and dead/dry leaves, shrubs etc and would even reduce pressure on forests.
