In some sense the debates we've had about human caused global warming are kind of funny. I mean we all have little power to effect anything. However, one thing that I've gotten out of it has been a new source of fuel for my chipper. For the last month I've been running biodiesel in my chipper. The chipper runs great, and instead of stinky black diesel smoke it smells like popcorn when I run it. The down side is it cost more, $2.50/gal, but on the positive side I'm not contributing to net CO2 increases, I don't have to inhale nasty fumes, and I'm supporting American farmers. If you live near Ballard and have a diesel engine I recommend the stuff. You can check out more info at: Dr. Dans

So I found some stuff from a report for the National Library of Congress. The disclaimer at the bottom of the page says the report is, "nonpartisan." quote: Steam Reforming Steam reforming is a chemical process that makes hydrogen from a mixture of water and a hydrocarbon feedstock... The energy content of the hydrogen produced is actually higher than that of the natural gas consumed, but considerable energy is required to operate the reformer, so the net conversion efficiency is typically only about 65 percent.(8) Hydrogen produced by this technique can cost as little as 65¢ per kilogram.(9) So Dennis you get 65% efficiency from this process. If you were right there would be less than 0% efficiency. There are a few other methods of producing hydrogen too. Anyhow bite me Dennis.

RedFunk, I don't think Dennis, and I know I'm not bashing on America. I just think we should set a good example; especially since we've got so much money compared to countries like Indonesia. I think it is in our economic best interest to move to an economy fueled by hydrogen (which would solve global warming problems) Not only that, but I think it's in our national security interest to stop burning oil. Think about it; how many wars have we fought in the middle east. Maybe we should get our fuel from somewhere else. (and Alaskan oil ain't going to do it).

Dennis, I don't think you've met one of the other long time posters, "Fairweather," but you're about to... He's going to give you links to sources like the Cato(SP?) Institute, who's financial backing comes from industries opposed to any kind of change in types of fuel used by the US. Also Fairweather will give you links to, "scientific," studies that lack peer review, but have funding from the institutions I noted above. Have fun with Fairweather; I think he's got a lot of stock in Texaco and such.

Ah Vantage, The first time I went there in the early 80's we didn't have a guide. I remember getting out of the car and thinking why the hell would anyone want to climb in this hellhole. Since then I have been back a few times, but every time I get there I feel my will to live slipping away. Face it Vantage is a great place to shoot a gun or get rid of an old junker, but it's a stupid place to climb. Yet some people get so worked up about it. I mean what the fuck, did this Bill guy kill thousands of people? No he didn't, so what's up with this Osama Bill Roberts or calling the removal of hangers a, "cowardly act of terrorism?" Bill Roberts is a loud mouth, but all of you that raise such a big stink about him are only promoting him. I don't have a problem with clipping bolts, but the more there are in an climbing area the stupider the climbing area is. CRACKS RULE!

An honest answer would be appreciated... if you are capable of honesty. Dennis How do you know I was saying you were homosexual? Maybe I thought you were going to give him a job pumping out your septic tank.

Dear Eric L , I think what you are really need is a big horsecock. Maybe if you're lucky Scot'corp_logo can stick it up your ass. Sincerly AlpineK PS

Scott, Dish it out and can't take it? Dude, flipping one of us shit is one thing. Making a remark about a 5 year old kid is quite another. Feel free to flip me or anyone on the board shit, but pick on someone your own size. -I don't think we should kick Scott off. I'm afraid he's just a retard and doesn't know what he's doing

MITCH MERRIMAN IS A LEMMING Ya know Scott thrashing on someones kid shows a total lack of tact. We already knew that about you, but you might want to look for some kind of school that can help someone with your retardation.

I'm using the bolt hangers for a new smoking device that I hope to have perfected by next ski season. I'm going to test it at the Muir hut. Ya want to come Scott?

Ha ha ha Scotty you uptight bastard. I just wanted to let you know it was me who took those hangers off the bolts you described.

Who are you really Dennis?

What about smoking out at Muir Dennis? I bet Ossama Ben Scot'teryx would have taken over this country if it hadn't been for 009, Snowmuncher, and me. Don't we deserve credit? [ 06-27-2002, 10:18 PM: Message edited by: AlpineK ]

Wow, that guy is something else, and I do mean something else.

What have I done for my country? I have smoked pot in the Muir hut for my country.

Bolting sure gets people worked up. If you want to argue about bolts fine, but if you can't handle spray then keep your own arguments logical and don't engage in personal attacks. I thought I should bring this up before other people end up all tweaked like Dwayner and Peter Puget.

These people do not have any real appreciation, or respect, for the mountains. They are just going to continue going up there and dying, in droves, and make us all look like ass-holes. Dennis ---- "Alive people are always smarter than dead people." Why do you refuse to take resposibility for these bad bad young people Dennis?

Is your face turning red F?

Dennis, Perhaps you should take up, or just take, those little pills you doctor keeps giving you.

quote: Originally posted by Dennis Harmon: ...an entire generation of spoiled youth of this country who have only taken, and taken, and taken... Dennis And who spoiled these youths... why it must have been an older generation. huh Dennis So you old guys have nobody but yourselves to blame. I just wish I had a generation I could attach myself to, but I'm inbetween the Babyboomers and GenX.

He's headed down to Rainier this PM with 009

Dennis, I realy don't want to know how your brain works, but you aren't anything like CPB
