			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal">I am scared to death of nuclear power.<span>  </span>Hell, I hate to use a microwave because of the things it is doing to the food.<span>  </span>I used to use it a lot, but since one of my friends in Toronto sent me an e-mail on what those invisible waves can do when an oven is run, I stay away from the microwave as much as possible.<span>  </span>Not that I can do it all the time, but faced with a choice of using an oven or toaster oven or the microwave, I try to cut free the extra minutes to eat non-nuked food, even if it has been processed, no reason to change it for the worse any more.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">(blueram85 note to reader – I apologize for entering an entire document for you to read here, but this was a private e-mail and I simply do not have a place to point to on the web to allow you to link to it.<span>  </span>I don’t even have a person to attribute the actual e-mail, but it is not my personal authorship.<span>  </span>It was forwarded to me by a caring friend.<span>  </span>But it is scary enough that it should be seen – if you drink coffee or other water based hot drinks, boil it on the stove – don’t nuke it!<span>  </span>You could be just as affected as the poor plants.)</p>

</span></span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#006699;">Below is a science fair project. In it she took filtered water and divided it into two parts. The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave. Then after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water boiled in a microwave. She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave. As it turned out, even she was amazed at the difference.</span></p>

<span style="color:#006699;">I have known for years that the problem with microwaved anything is not the radiation people used to worry about; It&#8217;s how it corrupts the DNA in the food so the body can not recognize it. So the body wraps it in fat cells to protect itself from the dead food or it eliminates it fast. Think of all the Mothers heating up milk in these &#8220;Safe&#8221; appliances. What about the nurse in </span></span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#006699;">Canada</span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#006699;"> that warmed up blood for a transfusion patient and accidentally killed them when the blood went in dead. But the makers say it&#8217;s safe. Never mind then, keep using them. Ask your Doctor I am sure they will say it&#8217;s safe too. Proof is in the pictures of living plants dying. Remember You are also Living. Take Care.<br />

Ten Reasons to Throw out your Microwave Oven</span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#006699;">From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in our kitchens. Based on this research, we will conclude this article with the following:<br />
</span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;"><br />
</span><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#006699;">1)</span></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#006699;">. Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term &#8211; permanent &#8211; brain damage by &#8220;shorting out&#8221; electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].<br />
<strong>2)</strong> . The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.<br />
<strong>3)</strong>. Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.<br />
<strong>4)</strong> . The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.<br />
<strong>5)</strong>. Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.<br />
<strong>6)</strong> . The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.<br />
<strong>7)</strong>. Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#006699;">America</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#006699;"> .<br />
<strong> <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong> . The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.<br />
<strong>9)</strong>. Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.<br />
<strong>10)</strong> . Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.<br />
Have you tossed out your microwave oven yet?</span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#006699;">After you throw out your microwave you can use a toaster oven as a replacement. It works well for most and is nearly as quick.<br />
The use of artificial microwave transmissions for subliminal psychological control, a.k.a. &#8220;brainwashing&#8221;, has also been proven. We&#8217;re attempting to obtain copies of the 1970&#8217;s Russian research documents and results written by Drs. Luria and Perov specifying their clinical experiments in this area.<br />
</span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;"><br />
Enough said on the microwave, but what about the thought of a nuclear future satisfying the ever growing addiction to electrical power to run almost everything we use in our day to day lives?<span>  </span>Is it safe?<span>  </span>Please do not be fooled, I am not a radical, preaching my feelings to everyone I see, but the more I think about nuclear power, the more I worry.<span>  </span>I think it is time that an individual state his thoughts to the reader.<span>  </span>How has the nuclear industry maintained its powerful lobby for so long.<span>  </span>Huge subsidies and tax breaks have been lobbied for and obtained, while safe renewable power has been relegated to an irrelevant shout in the wilderness.<span>  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;">It has been decades since the last nuclear power plant was built.<span>  </span>For years the uranium industry faltered and stumbled along with low prices for the output of their mines.<span>  </span>The governments have subsidized research and development and kept in always in the wings until the fear of Chernoble and </span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;">Three Mile Island</span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;"> is just a distant memory to those now alive.<span>  </span>Over the past few years, however, uranium stocks have been hot, the sector to purchase as energy prices have spiked – both subsidized by your governments, by the way.<span>  </span>It has become the investor’s expectation that this is the only alternatives for mass power production without the carbon exhaust of coal fired and gas powered generators – no matter the risks.<span>  </span>It has to be given a shot, right, there is simply no other alternative to getting the power everyone craves.<span>  </span>Never mind the environmental dangers or the possibility that there might be a much more rational way to create the power from the sun and wind and water, individually and independently – that couldn’t be controlled or metered, so it can’t be a real investment.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;">I read with interest the comments of the proponents of Nuclear in the book “Fueling the Future” Edited by Andrew Heintzman and Evan Solomon.<span>  </span>Chapter 6, Is Nuclear Energy the Answer? It shows the paradox of relying on this form of energy at all.<span>  </span>It can only be seen as a stopgap on the way to something safer and where the danger of the wastes are less durable.<span>  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;">I want to fashion a future where we leave as few problems as possible to our following generations.<span>  </span>The nuclear industry is willing to turn a blind eye at its results and carelessly pass the incalculable problems of suddenly expanding waste storage from the massive proliferation of new plants projected to cover the requirements to the future.<span>  </span>Along with the social security crisis and the fiat currency headaches with its inherent uncontrollable inflation we are fashioning right now, why not just add the possibility of a world where a single terrorist can steal nuclear fuel, build a bomb and/or an organization that can easily hold the world hostage.<span>  </span>Even if those daunting security issues can be overcome (and I seriously doubt that is possible given the political climate big oil and its greed has spawned) we would leave the gradual contamination of our world with virulent nuclear waste to posterity to deal with.<span>  </span>For that simple reason, until and unless the nuclear industry can answer all the questions on storage and how it will be dealt with before the first new power plant is built, then none should go forward.<span>  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nuclear waste is toxic, not for a day or two, and it cannot suddenly dissipate be gone, it lasts for hundreds of years, if it spills, it can kill for miles around, and create deathly living conditions for all animals, not just ourselves – a desolate and deadly environment results, poisoned and warped away from nature.<span>  </span>Hydrogen is very explosive if handled incorrectly, but even so, if it leaks, unless ignited, it is a gas that dissipates harmlessly into the atmosphere – or combines to produce electricity and/or heat with oxygen to become water.<span>  </span>Gasoline, since it is a liquid, has more potential danger as a contaminant than hydrogen.<span>  </span>I have heard of many environmental disasters in leaky tanks in fuel stations where millions are required to clean up the after effects.<span>  </span>I have never heard of one where hydrogen has caused any true or long lasting environmental problems ever.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let’s decide, as a planet, that we do not want to have to rely on new and potentially dangerous technologies to save us.<span>  </span>We need to migrate to the more controllable and safer generation of power through sun, wind and water to create the fire that generates our power requirements.<span>  </span>Nature is abundant, not scarce, and we must realize this and thankfully embrace that bounty to solve our energy dilemma.<span>  </span>Last century was one of denial and insanity, hopefully we can replace the paranoia and greed with a more rational exploration of our potentially safe energy sources.<span>  </span>Let’s exploit them without hurting our planet or ourselves and move to a gentler and more equitable use of the resources we must all share.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, once again I must come back to the production and exploitation of hydrogen.<span>  </span>We need the element to pack potential power and store it as a battery.<span>  </span>Then we must transport it to where we will use it to provide the kinetic heat for activating generators for the life blood of society….electricity.<span>  </span>We can also use it to solve one of the other pressing environmental problems, the production of fresh and safe water – hydrogen, when it burns creates pure water – not carbon monoxide or dioxide.<span>  </span>However we end up manufacturing it, it should be clean, environmentally sane and as power conserving as possible.<span>  </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The way the various articles I read seem to conclude, energy shortages in the past have been approached in two ways by the human animal.<span>  </span>Become much better at conservation of the energy available and/or use our brain and ingenuity to find a way to improve the production and quantity.<span>  </span>In this particular instance, we are going to have to do both at the same time.<span>  </span>It has caused amazement in some authors how much we can find a way to conserve when we need to.<span>  </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Take the example of the simple shopping bag.<span>  </span>According to an ad by Loblaws, they want to sell re-usable bags and reduce the number of plastic bags entering the dumps by 1 billion per year!<span>  </span>Taking a reusable bag for groceries each and every time we shop will eliminate tons of oil use.<span>  </span>If we all decided as a personal measure that we would never us another flimsy plastic bag again, think of the shock that would go through the oil producing community and the gallons of precious oil we can save and conserve for better uses.<span>  </span>That is just the first step, maybe we can get some feedback and discussion thorugh your comments on other steps that would send the message to the world we, as individuals, are more than a little bit serious that we must all do our part to produce our requirements through Energy with-out Oil</p>
