If you note a study done by "David Suziki" in the "Nature of Things"
he (Mr. Suzuki) has supporting evidence that the power generated by
hydro electric dams creates more pollution than the equaivilent
amount
of power produced by coal.
The reasoning being this is that in the bogs and marshes that
surround
a dam (or the original enviroment) there is a microbe that consumes
methane gas coming through the soil. When this area is flooded these
microbes do not exist. The methane gas still bubbles up from below
and into the atmosphere.
Did you know that the amount of pollution a jet airplane emits in 8
seconds of flight equals that of an entire wood firing by a humble
potter. Thanks Leon...
With all respect intended Don; as Terrance noted there is nothing
wrong with a good debate!
I'm putting a call out to any potters in the Chicago area for shared
studio space! I posted this message to usenet also.
I am making a big move from Calgary to Chicago in Jan/Feb 97. I
would like to know if anyone in the Chicago area (I will be living in
DeKalb)
would be interested in sharing studio space. Preferably with someone
that has a studio with at least 1000-1500sq feet of space. Of course
won't I
won't be picky if there is more or slighly less. Need SPACE!!!!
What do I have to offer?
- Shimpo Master Series Wheel
- Kick Wheel
- 8'x4' Bailey Slab Roller
- Bailey Pneumatic extruder with expansion box and dies
- 7' foot electric kiln with sitter
- 7' foot olympic gas kiln
- 2' foot electric test kiln
- raku kiln
- 4HP compressor and air tools
- various other personal studio equipment
- brushes, bats, sieves, buckets, sinks,
canvas work tables, chemical inventory.
- and possibly a 35 cubic foot gas (ask for details)
So if anyone is interested please respond privately to
"rwuether@agt.net". I will have a Chicago EMAIL address
soon and will re-post this message at that point!
Also I will be offering WEB page design to other artists; JAVA,
ACTIVE-X,
CGI scripting, site maitenance ,etc.
I am also currently working with Mr.Tony Hansen of IMC software that
produces Insight and Forsight ceramic calculation software.
Incredible packages
and hopefully will be running courses in the that area soon. So if
there would be
interest in this also please post to the above EMAIL also!
Cheers,
Rod Wuetherick in Calgary, AB Wow it's really warm here now. I left
to
Chicago for New Years and it was -40C and came back (the next day)
and it's +12C or about 50F above! What a delight!

R.Wuetherick, Why do so many people continue to compare pollutions and
make their peace with what they percieve to be less polluting? David may
very well be corect but the evidence does not change the argument. To
reduce pollution we must also reduce production. With the exception of
the alleged "advanced " countries of the world, the majority of the
world's peoples continue to survive with low production whatever fuel
source they use. don mOn Fri, 3 Jan 1997, R Wuetherick wrote:
