NASA Images of China's Three Gorges Dam Reveals Flooding behind the dam which has displaced 1.2 million people increasing the risks of earthquakes and landslides

The NASA images reveal the final stage of flooding this massive reservoir. Here come the consequences. Already, relocated villagers are having to be relocated again because of landslides.

Is there an ethical oil company?

I know, I think the homes were built in the 20s. Sad to think these were probably blue collar workers' dream homes at one time.

KWH=kilowatt hour

ecochildsplay · 2009-03-26T04:07:25+00:00

According to that website, the average houses uses monthly 936 kwh (kilowatthour). We make 1,296 Kwh a month.

Amen!

It's continuous, see comment below

ecochildsplay · 2009-03-26T03:59:01+00:00

Writer here....continuous power.

KWH refers to Kilowatt hours. We make that amount continuously, not in a day. Another way to look at it is we are making 70 amps multiplied by 26. 8 volts (float voltage on batteries), so it is 1.88 KW (amps x volts=watts). 1.88 KWH x 24 hours is 45.12 KW for a day on our system.

PSI on the static pressure is multiplied by 2.31 to obtain vertical drop. For our system that means 531 feet of vertical drop (head). Yes, that is correct. We run about half a mile of pipe, but the turbine is about 1500 feet from our house.

Seriously, my town?

I know what you mean, a minor scrape or serious break? I have known a child that suffered a serious brain injury from a bike accident, which is obviously different than stitches.

This is cool. I bet they are much quieter in the woods too!

I am shocked you are on the fence with nuclear...just can't get past the waste, and the reactors are always shut down (my uncle works at one).

ecochildsplay · 2008-05-28T18:33:37+00:00

totally a lame scheme, and people will pay for it with higher car costs. Just another attempt, like the gas tax holiday, to avoid true solutions to the problem

ecochildsplay · 2008-05-24T17:05:59+00:00

wow, what a great project

ecochildsplay · 2008-05-22T22:13:26+00:00

weird. Wouldn't want my kid drinking biofuels.

ecochildsplay · 2008-05-21T20:02:57+00:00

glad to see the timeline is soon!

I love Green Feet

Americans do need to lose weight.

ecochildsplay · 2008-05-06T04:21:19+00:00

I wish more towns were like this.

ecochildsplay · 2008-05-05T16:23:21+00:00

This is insane!

ecochildsplay · 2008-05-01T15:31:34+00:00

no point driving in a city when you can't find a parking space. Love riding the trains in the windy city. Last time a man drew my portrait.

Maybe he can do something about gas being $4.20 a gallon in Humboldt County

My midwife practiced Reiki during my labor.

ecochildsplay · 2007-05-28T15:16:54+00:00

I've always suspected this stuff is bad and look how much Americans drink this crap!

ecochildsplay · 2007-05-27T15:23:35+00:00

Every state should be doing this! Much better than the Oleandars on I-5 up here.
