Pollution! Part-Two.

The failure to Re-cycle!

There is no demand to reuse the plastics, computers and vehicles that we have. just like food, building materials and clothes?

We live in a manufacturing generation of wanting the latest of everything, without considering the costs of what is being left behind!

One of the great breakthrough was the Tesler cars, but as in times past the cost of each unit was too high and to much boasting gave false pretences, this is the problem with the Airbus A380, its too costly to run as in the past Concorde was!

Many trains and buses along with service vehicles are moving in to new energy, but electricity is still being produced by the burning of fossil fuels.

Very little investment is being put into public transport and since the crime rate is rising many want their own vehicle to travel in because they fell safe and go where we want to at any time day or night?

What Alternatives?

Thinking outside the Box!

There has to be alternatives for vehicles and machines to what is happening now?

The media addresses aviation and plastic as the biggest pollutants, but the reality is the dumping of chemicals by heavy industry and the burning of Diesel and petrol!

 Engines produce carbon monoxide which is the main cause of asthma and other respiratory diseases and this has been known for some time, sowing more tree and offering inhalers is not enough when humanity can reach the stars?

Currently we have LPG (Liquid petroleum Gas), solar power, battery and electric engine developments, but the truth be told nothing much has changed with some of these technologies since 1895!

The question is why is this all taking so long and the answer to that question is big business and human greed to make a quick investment hoping that in at least three hundred years from now we will have found better alternatives if they make us money?

Research Ships?

A plastic and Nuclear Ocean!

Nearly every nation that has access to the Sea or to large bodies of water will have their own fleet of survey vessels and research ships. But what they are used for remains ''hush, hush'' in most cases apart from the obvious?

Nuclear dumping and plastic waste in the oceans needs regular monitoring, but there is also concern as to why the crust under the oceans is warming up! This has been a sudden change in recent years and is part of the climate change debate, rather than smog an the established facts of the Sun?

Much research is also made in relation to mining and the discovery of oil and gas fields, now that we are running out of fossil fuels on the land masses! These vessels come in all sizes and shapes and some are equipped with helicopter decks for re-supply and also work in the Polar regions!

Data collected can be sent via the Internet back to their respective countries for collation and analyses.
