Let's chat in private on this...as said, got people interested, but need push. Cheers, Trout

Let's chat in private...I'm having a bunch of conversations on this with a bunch of people now. Cheers, Trout

This has a practical efficiency of 10%, uses technology that's 100+ to 200 yrs old (conventional Rankine Cycle heat engine) and basically better than current mass produced PV panels. Your capital cost is basically just to dig the trench and dump seawater in. Essentially the whole Dead Sea is one...

Actually I'm interested to try to do a Kalundborg in Singapore. Did you go to the Industrial Ecology Summit at Kalundborg last month? I believe with some pinch design, we can do it fairly easily in Tuas, you know Linnhoff March (Now a division of KBC Energy Services)...do a energy pinch, water...

Try Pinch Analysis-based Design, Process Integration and Intensification to minimize water and energy consumption. PV solar panels are at most 8% efficient...you better off with solar ponds (salinity gradient power generation), which has a practical efficiency of 10%, and have been around...

its people are generally low in EQ. Discuss. Cheers, Trout

Wow, that's a side of GWB I never knew. I did the political compass survey before, and I'm considered a fairly far (both dimenisons) left-lib.

Re: Recent Immigrants to Canada compared to the old days Agree with all you said. :) plus this book. http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061735196/What_I_Wish_I_Knew_When_I_Was_20/index.aspx Been to her talk at Stanford last month, very informative. Cheers, Trout

I guess I don't know mr. churchill well enough then. :)

Quote wrongly attributed. Churchill never said that. In fact, he became more liberal the older he got.:-) Socialism got a false start in the 20th century anyway. Communism/Socialism should never arise through popular revolution, where all existing institutions are torn apart...

I don't see how innovation is linked to low taxation. Given that most of the engineers and scientists today are originally trained in socialist countries (China/India), hahaha. Cheers, Trout

I was a ewb member back in college, but never got to actually work in ghana or some random african country to do stuff. Got a friend now in Ghana doing some ground work actually... http://toronto.ewb.ca/dan/ Cheers, Trout

yeah, given the women are proven to be physically more capable then the men, the Singapore government should considering implementing NS for women. I bet morale will be boosted in the SAF, particularly from the NSF enlistee ranks. SAF definitely need more babes than these 2 (see attachment)...

There's always engineers without borders. I think he'll learn more there than in the SAF. :)

Well, the USA is turning socialist whether you like it or not. All the seminars I been to in Silicon Valley were essentially pitching one msg - how to beg $$ professionally from the govt stimulus plan.

Well, Americans have been going to Cuba for the last 50 yrs, but they have to jump through the hoops to do it...fly to Cancun, then off to Cuba etc.

That's why there's a friendly socialist state up north, hehehe. Free and EZ to Cuba from there too. Daily flights to Havana.

American SW is running low on water eh? Interested in some water reclaimation projects? PM me if you are. I'm actually dropping by Ph,AZ soon, you anywhere close? You probably know Ms Goh TL in Boulder, CO right? Well, if you're in Singapore, and got a pending reservist call-up, even if you...

you will definitely have CPF, you got edusave right? All that remaining $$ from your edusave gets dumped into your CPF. Unless you really spent every single cent in your edusave fund before you finished JC. I know I never did.I have like $300 edusave $$ in CPF, and that's basically what I have...
