That's right, idiot wog, and the West has banned those words from all
of Asia.  No wog dare even think them.  Wogs are in the hands of 360
million gods.  Curiously, that sums to more than 720 million hands -
none of them washed after crapping.

Totally clueless.  Wealth is about violence, lies, and bribes.

Jesus H f.cking Christ, what an idiot wog.  Edison invented the
phonograph so people would stay up late and use his lightbulbs.
Armstrong's first transmitted scanned picture was a dollar sign.  Look
it up, idiot wog.  That's "dollar sign," not Rupes toilet paper.

Or perhaps just because we took away the power from the religious
fundamentalists so they can't keep us in the dark ages like the muslim
clerics.

on it eg mobile phones by cordless electrmagnetic induction, the same

What if we lubricated the fault lines so the tectonic plates slide
past each other? How much oil would we need?

The subcontinent continues to shove in a north-easterly direction, at
a rate of about 5cm a year, every so often leading to a catastrophic
release of the tension that builds up at the edges where the two
plates meet.

Such a cataclysmic unleashing of destructive power took place on
Saturday October 8th, when a magnitude 7.6 earthquake shook Pakistan,
India and the province of Kashmir, which is, in effect, divided
between the two South
Across the Himalayas there is what seismologists call a “slip
deficit”—a lack of earthquakes to release the stress that is known to
be accumulating. The Kashmir quake was in just such a region, where a
great earthquake was overdue. Nevertheless, Roger Bilham, of the
University of Colorado, says it is doubtful that the Kashmir quake
released more than one tenth of the cumulative energy stored there.
Furthermore, in the past half-century the Himalayan region has seen
fewer powerful earthquakes than might be predicted from historical
records. The most notable area of concern is the central Himalayan
Gap, a 600km-long central arc of the Himalayas. Mr Bilham believes
this area has the potential to generate several earthquakes of
magnitude 8 or more, and is the most vulnerable (in terms of potential
loss of life and damage) of the regions that could produce a great
earthquake. The whole of Nepal is also a worry.

In India, to build more suitable housing would add only 2-4% to
construction costs. But in the poorest regions, such as Kashmir, most
houses are built of local materials by the people who then live in
them. In fact, in India, 80% of housing is owner-built. Architects and
engineers, who might improve building and design, are in short supply.
It is lack of knowledge and skills that is the main problem, rather
than the cost of the work.

Their average tariff has risen by 20% since 2000, compared with a rise
in the cost of their supplies of just 4%. But still, tariffs, on
average, are just three-quarters of supply costs. Some estimates
suggest that the SEBs lost 10 trillion rupees ($215 billion) over the
past decade. This has damaged their ability to add distribution
capacity, and even to carry out basic maintenance. The Planning
Commission has pointed out that more than 90% of the investment in the
power sector goes into generation and transmission rather than
distribution, akin, it argues, “to building a superstructure without a
foundation”. Still, the money needed for new generating capacity is
huge—estimates range between $10 billion and $15 billion a year.

Efforts to attract private investment, including from abroad, into
power generation have been largely unsuccessful. The most spectacular
failure was the impressively modern 2,200MW Dabhol power project in
Maharashtra, which started operation in 1999, only to shut in 2001
after a row between its promoter, Enron, a collapsed American energy
giant, and the SEB. Years of legal wrangling have ensued, with
damaging effects all round. Many Indian observers drew the lesson that
privatisation and foreign investment in power did not work and meant
high prices. Foreign firms wondered whether power-purchase commitments
signed by bankrupt SEBs were worth anything. Only now is the project
restarting, having, in effect, been nationalised. It will be at least
a year before it is producing electricity.

Despite Dabhol and a huge gas-fired plant that Reliance is building in
Uttar Pradesh, a northern state, coal is expected to remain India's
“mainstay” fuel for decades to come. Its proven reserves, of 92.4
billion tonnes, are just over 10% of the global total. But it is of
low quality, with a high ash content and low calorific value. It is
also, by international standards, expensive (perhaps twice the cost of
South African coal), and production is not growing fast enough. Rajiv
Sharma, a senior official in the Ministry of Coal, blames this on
underinvestment in the 1990s, when coal became a “condemned fuel”,
because of its polluting effects and contribution to global warming.

Coal India, the state's near-monopoly, was unprepared when demand took
off in 2003. So India has been importing more coal—nearly 11m tonnes
last year. Vipul Tuli, of McKinsey's, a consultancy, predicts a
“massive” shortage of 100m tonnes by 2011-12. Domestic coal usage is
constrained and made more costly by an inadequate rail network.
Imports are hampered by a lack of capacity at the ports.

Recent months have seen a scramble by India to secure fuel supplies.
There is talk of pipelines to bring gas from countries such as
Turkmenistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and, most controversially, Iran.
Meanwhile ONGC, a state-owned oil exploration and production company,
has teamed up with Lakshmi Mittal, a steel tycoon, to bid for foreign
oil assets.

India's nuclear industry, which at present supplies about 2% of
electricity, received a big boost in July, when Mr Singh went to
Washington, DC, and secured an American offer of help for it. Despite
having nuclear weapons, which it tested in 1998, India has never
signed the international non-proliferation treaty. So this was a
diplomatic coup. Mr Singh has suggested India could have 30,000 to
40,000MW of nuclear capacity for the next 20-30 years. But that
optimistic figure is still a fraction of requirements.

There may be more potential in hydro-electricity, which already
produces a quarter of India's needs, in renewable forms of energy, and
in moderating demand by enhancing energy-efficiency. India has an
estimated 120,000MW of untapped hydro-electric potential. Big dams are
controversial, but much of this could be realised through small,
run-of-the-river projects. It is hoped to increase hydro's share in
production to 40%. The “most significant” strategic goal set by Mr
Kalam in his Independence Day speech, however, was to increase the
share of renewable energy in generation from around 5% now to 20-25%.
Wind power already accounts for about 2%. Solar power is negligible
now, partly because of the high capital cost of solar plants, but the
president was optimistic that new technology would soon bring the cost
down. He estimated, moreover, that 30m hectares of wasteland in India
are available for the cultivation of “bio-fuels”, such as Jatropha, an
oil-producing shrub.

An obsession with “energy security” may not be wise in a world wh

Have I been fed.
Nourish, love, feed
Both soul, hungry

Body. Heal both mind
And body, too, aches
And tears, a havoc
Wracking mind, body,

Derails soul's sole
Golden goal and laurel.
Nourish, hold, heal,

Have I been overfed.
Give me warm, clean bed,

Pillow for my head,
Good food for supper,
Home cooked.

Fix my broken teeth,
Sooth my aching feet."
