jet fuel burns at 1300 degrees
steel melts at 1600

when the dug out the hole, weeks later - they found
MOLTEL STEEL - 3000 degrees, 3 weeks later.

-sigh-

and if you watch the buildings collapse - you will see the windows blow out - 10+ floors below the flaming floors.
and then more explosions - about every 10 floors.
as the building collapses.

just like with controlled explosions.

The WTC info is nonsense written by people with no understanding of physics or engineering. I've read a little about the engineering involved in the collapse and there is no question in my mind that jet impacts and burning jet fuel caused the WTC collapse. The most obvious misapprehension is about the temperatures involved: heat builds up in a confined space. Charcoal burning out in the open cannot melt iron, however charcoal-fuelled furnaces can and do - doing so requires contained heat and proper air circulation, both of which would happen in the WTC impact.

OTOH, I am perfectly willing to admit that Shrub and his minions may well have know this was going to happen and did nothing to prevent it.

The Amazonian soil info is very cool and may be quite important, and while I can find little about the SA solar breakthrough, this sounds impressively promising and much needed. Given the extreme paucity of data I could find via google, I am a bit suspicious about how large a breakthrough this really is.

{after a bit more googling], I did manage to find one good link that contains some solid data about these new solar cells. If' I'm reading it correctly, being able to produce solar cells half a cheaply as before and clearly with considerably fewer resources is fairly impressive. OTOH, 10% efficiency is fairly lame - 15% is average and 20+% is now good for solar cells. However, if these things can be mass produced cheaply then costs may drop further and so this might be something fairly useful, if not nearly as impressive as the initial article suggests.

Aggh! Pravda! I grew up in the cold war so my first response was "aggh! they're at it again". Second response, "Aggh, they might be right". Who the hell is Marvin Bush?? I never even knew he had a brother called Marvin. Third response, "Agggh! The russians know more about this country and it's "leaders" than I do!

Sorry state of affairs.
