cultivation begin about how many years ago
less then blank % of amercian workers in engaged in the production of food
most barley is used for
list 5 oil seeds crops
hello, i have an uncle named jeeves. anyways, farming has been around since the caveman time, maybe like billions of years ago, and but i am not so sure about america, i know the indians were doing it way before the white people settle america but, i think barely is used mostly for bread and stuff like that and 4 oil seed crops i am not so sure, but i think one of them is sunflower and flax or something like that, sorry that is all i know thank you for your time and cooperation have a nice day you thank you bye bye uncle jeeves haha just kidding

Most of the world’s energy supply
comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), but
unfortunately we only have a limited amount of these left on the
planet. Fusion1 energy is energy generated by fusion nuclear
reactions and it has an enormous potential of becoming a very
important energy source in the future. Commercial fusion power
plants, however, have turned out to be very difficult to build and we
have yet to see a commercially fusion production plant come into
operation…..
1) Communicates the physics behind fusion energy using physics
language. Appropriate symbolic and visual representations
should be used to support this communication.
2) Explains more generally how physics can be used to address
the issue of vanishing fossil fuels, and explains some of the
benefits and limitations to the approach using fusion energy.
3) Discusses how this approach interacts globally with some of the
following factors: social, economical, political, environmental,
cultural, and ethical.
Do you know?
Here is the tiny little fact about fusion energy that nobody wants to talk about. Even if they make a workable fusion reactor, it will still need a fuel that would be in limited supply on earth AND will be depleted just as much as fossil fuels will be depleted.
Hydrogen or any of its isotopes, for example, would be the prospect fuel for a fusion reactor. Once it is converted to Helium or any of its isotopes, it’s gone!, you cannot use it anymore unless you increase the confinement force about 100 fold or more so that you can have fusion of Helium into heavier elements (which will be the equivalent of a "red giant" sun).
Fusion energy may be clean, but it WILL be in limited supply as the fuel it requires will be in limited supply and depleting. This fuel better be found naturally on earth just as much as fossil fuels are found naturally on earth. God knows what country we will be invading to get to that natural supply of hydrogen, if it indeed exists. So far hydrogen is ironically obtained from fossil fuels or separated from water (at a great cost of energy spent on it). By the way, water is NOT a fuel and can never be a fuel.
This is all a consequence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics which I suggest you study carefully if you want to understand the bottom line about fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and, in general, any form of energy existing now or to be found in the future.

Angola in southwest Africa is about the size of Germany and France combined, but with a fraction of the population, just 12 million people. Over a third live in the capital Luanda. After a protracted and brutal war, Angola won independence from Portugal in 1975. Since then the country has been torn apart by almost continuous civil war – 27 years of it. In April 2002 the warring sides finally signed peace accords, and Angolans could at last look forward to rebuilding their country in peace.
But they still face enormous problems. Angola is one of the ten poorest countries in the world, where according to UN figures, 82% of people live on less than a dollar a day. And yet its a country with enormous oil wealth, whose government earns more than five billion dollars a year in oil revenues.

Ethanol is an awful solution to weaning ourselves off oil. On average, it is less fuel efficient than gasoline, produces the same amount of carbon emissions, and requires more energy to produce then it gives off (i.e. – planting, harvesting, creation takes anywhere from 1.4 to 5 gallons of ethanol to produce 1 gallon of ethanol). Not to mention the massive amount of land that must be cultivated (destruction of habitat) and the massive nitrogen, pesticides, herbicides, etc., used in it’s production. Plus all the subsidies given to producers which could be spent on other environmental improvements. How do we educate the public to fight for real solutions to our transportation energy needs?
I was ready to answer this question completely differently by the headline that was posted, but I agree completely with the fact that ethanol is purely inefficint. The only thing I have a problem with is the facts you stated. When using petroleum to make gasonline it is a 3:1 ratio of 3 gallons of gas made by using 1. With ethanol the ration is 1.3:1 where 1.3 gallons of gas are made using 1 gallon, which is theoretically pointless waste when it comes to efficiency. However there are other means out there using the same system as ethanol that are much more highly efficient. Sugar cane can be used to make a ration of 8 gallons made to 1 gallon used (8:1) and it can be grown in a variety of environments (unlike corn) and it can be grown in a mucher denser pattern than corn (no need for rows). Either way I agree, and just keep telling as many people as you can who bring up this topic. Best of luck
So the democrat congress proposed 5.1 billions subsidy for air conditioning and heating for the poor. The GOP blocked it and got blasted for "not helping the poor" and bla bla.
Meanwhile, the democrat pride, Nancy pelosi said she would reject any offshore drilling discussion.
By subsidizing electricity, you basically increase the demand of gasoline or oil. Currently, 2 millions barells per day out of 8 millions of Alaska oil production go straight to electricity power plants. This bill will even encourage people to use more electricity, hence, oil.
So democrats encourage increased consumption on oil but doesn’t want to even let people to vote on oil drilling? Why? Please refrain from the name calling in here.
Ps; I am a middle class and I don’t even have air conditioning. I just blast my fan and drink a lot of water in 100 degrees day. Also, whatever happened with balancing the 480 billions deficit if we keep lauching welfare and subsidies like this?
"…whatever happened with balancing the 480 billions deficit if we keep lauching welfare and subsidies like this?"
It’s just another cheap head-fake when Dems mention the deficit; the ONLY reason they don’t like the current deficit is because it’s not THEIR DEFICIT!
As to your main point: The purpose of the Democrat Party is to part you from your money, give SOME of it back to you in the form of programs that THEY CHOOSE, and then tell you how much they’ve done for you lately. So, the subsidy makes perfect sense in their warped world-view.
As for the drilling: That’s a religious issue with Dems and you’d think you were having a theological argument with an al-Qaeda representative when you try to get them to discuss it without raving and foaming at the mouth. They simply CANNOT sound rational when the subject of oil comes up and you can forget about ‘em making any sense whatsoever when the subject is offshore drilling.

SPACE TRAVEL RECYCLING TECHNOLOGY ADAPTED FOR EARTH: “The best way to clean the environment is to make the process profitable.”
- We simply domesticated flies for industrial recycling in a similar way bees were domesticated to increase industrial production of food. Thus, we cost-effectively industrialized the recycling portion of Natures life cycle to match the industrial production of livestock/poultry waste and other types of organic waste. The only outputs from our recycling process are high quality organic fertilizer and protein rich animal feed. The result, the Milinator process is very profitable while restoring balance to the ecosystem and cleaning up mountains of pollution.
- The proprietary Milinator process has significant economic, health, environmental, political, and agricultural implications worldwide. A Canadian company which was established in 1923 already bought a territory license. I am currently selling territory licenses worldwide for the use of the Milinator Process on different types of organic waste.
MILINATOR TECHNOLOGY BY ECOSPACE ENGINEERING LTD.: SPACE TRAVEL RECYCLING TECHNOLOGY ADAPTED FOR EARTH
The best way to clean the environment is to make the process profitable.
DESCRIPTION
Industrial recycling of raw manure and other organic waste through domesticated insects. We domesticated flies for recycling in a similar way bees were domesticated to increase food production. The profitable Milinator process has enormous ecological benefits and simultaneously solves the growing issues of animal waste disposal, other organic waste disposal, demand for animal feed, and demand for high quality organic fertilizers. An inexpensive Milinator Waste Recycling Plant using the Milinator process can continuously recycle raw manure or other organic waste to achieve:
1.100% recycling in only 4 days and is scalable with no upper limits. The process is complete before the usual decomposition of organic waste can occur. There are no chemicals used in this process, no loss of nutrients, and no pollution or harmful by-products.
2.The only outputs are: cost-effective, large-scale, local, reliable, daily production of stable, nutrient-rich, organic fertilizer and protein-rich animal feed in the form of insect larvae. The worldwide demand for organic fertilizer is growing, but there is no other process which can cost-effectively produce nutrient-rich organic fertilizer on a large scale. The current costs and production levels of synthetic fertilizers cannot be sustained because the resources necessary are significantly depleted; therefore, the demand for organic fertilizer is going to keep increasing with time.
3.Revenue from selling carbon credits.
4.A sustainable solution to growing health and environmental problems caused by current manure management and other organic waste management difficulties. The Milinator process virtually eliminates water, air, and soil pollution caused by organic waste. The fly larvae are known to digest and neutralize pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli.
5.An increase in property values in the areas surrounding livestock and poultry farms. No more obnoxious odours.
•The Milinator process is a worldwide patent pending technology. The report on the Milinator Technology from the International Searching Authority under the Patent Cooperation Treaty states that: Claims 1 to 24 are novel and inventive and meet the requirements of PCT Articles 33(2&3). The same report states that regarding Industrial Applicability: Claims 1 to 24 meet the requirements of PCT Article 33(4).
•A Canadian company, which was established in 1923, bought a Milinator territory license for all of Canada for recycling of egg-laying hens manure.
• Research is being done in collaboration with the University of Guelphs Department of Environmental Biology, and with the support of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs which contributed $160,600.
•Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) approved EcoSpaces application for $1.1M.
• Milinator technology has letters of support from several organizations such as:
a.Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario
b.Poultry Industry Council
c.Egg Farmers of Ontario
• Known economically viable competitors: NONE.
OFFER
•Milinator territory licenses for sale around the globe.
