It's the question on everyones minds. It's the talk of the town. It's an inevitability. How can China "diversify" out of their excess reserves and not not up like Japan from the 90's until now or the US in the 30's. China has printed as many RyaunMB as they have in reserves, plus they have an overbuilt real estate market.



But the real question is, and sum ppl been takin' bout this for a while. .... How long before the grand announcement of "China's" new brilliant economic plan, developed jointly with the US of course.

DEBT FOR FOOD



My guess is that within the next two years.

North Korea is rumored to be out of food by June. China's food supplies aren't in a much better situation either. Plus they have that whole inflation thing to deal with. Shampoo up 23% m-m? Yeah and they report their actual inflation numbers alright. One could argue that they have a huge military, but lets face it, they don't have the support of their nation. I would be willing to bet that every single person on this board would fight if it came right down to it. Don't think China doesn't have THAT factored into their little plan. So let's take that discussion off the table in this thread, that could be a topic somewhere else..

Anyone else think that we see something like this?

So while it wasn't food that the Chinese ended up buying with their massive debt holdings, they did indeed have a plan working in the background with the US govt to use their massive holding to benefit the USA. If the USA has 2 trillion in backlogged infrastructure repair, this is going to probably cover half of it.

Since this thread was stared as part of the over all theme that the USA is still a great place, I will just change the conversation.

Some interesting developments in the bio fuels industry could lead to some really great investment opportunities. Plus anyone around here that makes oil products from a renewable source will now a have place to keep us all updated about the progress on a new project that is sure to create jobs in the US. If they choose to that is.

That's exactly what I was wondering about and the point I want to get at.



Another reason for NObama?

*From the article above.

A friend of the Digest writes: One topic worth discussion as the USDA’s BioPreferred [and other programs] are rolled out is the use of fossil carbon. For example, the use of waste CO2. What if the CO2 comes from a coal burning power plant? This is a great use of the CO2, perhaps better than sequestering it underground, but would the resulting succinate be biopreferred? What if a company like Proterro makes sugar from coal plant CO2? Can that sugar be used for biobased materials? My concern is that the program may hinder the types of novel innovation we need to creatively and effectively deal with waste CO2 and to have options other that sequestration.”

So will this govt program kill innovation by making certain types of alges oil cheaper than they are? Just like Solyindra??

I know that your already there with JUST private money.. Why do we need NObama to step in? For attention to his campaign

Aham,

What do:

Solyndra, Inc
47488 Kato Road
Fremont,CA94538-7319

AND

OriginOil
5645 West Adams Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90016

Have in common?

The answer is California.

30,000 homes is a lot of homes here in Saskatchewan. Waste no more, just a matter of moving the energy to different places.

Meadow Lake Tribal Council bursts with energy
Bioenergy centre coming soon
www.thestarphoenix.com/technology/Meadow+Lake+Tribal+Council+bursts+with+energy/7227902/story.html

Smoke billows from the top of the "beehive," a multi-storey incinerator adjacent to the NorSask sawmill. And it's a waste.

The mill produces an estimated 150 million feet of lumber each year, but the bark, branches, sawdust and other leftovers end up in the beehive. That's about to change.

Construction is expected to begin soon on the $150-million Meadow Lake Bioenergy Centre, one of the most ambitious green energy projects in Saskatchewan history. Wood waste will be converted into energy, powering an estimated 30,000 homes.

The bioenergy centre, like the sawmill and other local businesses, are owned by the Meadow Lake Tribal Council (MLTC). The nine-member tribal council is proving environmental stewardship does not have to come at the expense of jobs or economic growth.

"We are really thrilled with what the Meadow Lake Tribal Council has done," said Saskatchewan Environmental Society executive director Allyson Brady.

The bioenergy centre is expected to employ 300 people during construction and another 25 once open in 2014.

Are they planning to use the wood as fuel for an electric power plant? It doesn't say. The large amount of carbon released from wood, for BTU gained, creates a problem when calling it green tech. Or do they call it that because it's relatively better than just burning it outright as waste.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

The way that I understand it, and BiMetal knows more about this than I do, is they are going to be using all the stuff they are currently burning in the beehive to make steam and generate power. It's not so much that the C02 won't still be there it's just that we aren't waisting the energy, we are harnessing things we weren't thinking about before and that's what building a better future is all about.

I don't know what's really "green" about wood biomass, aside from maybe the selling point? Less waste? I have read that wood biomass produces more energy to C02 compared to oil.

Talk about a brilliant way to use non recyclable material.
