How about calling that kind of power slectric power, for S = solar, t = thermal with electric = STelectric = slectric power......? has anyone coined that word yet? easy to say and remember......instead of all those CPRs and GTHs and PRCs etc.....why not call it stelectic power ? \danny Joe

It's not like we are only adding people and the rest stays the same. A list of 6.666.666.666 names would be valid for about one tenth of a second. There are silly initiatives and then there is this.

PRESS RELEASE

GLOBAL ROLL CALL SEEKS NAMES OF 6.7 BILLION INHABITANTS ON EARTH

According to census figures, the world population on May 10 will stand
at 6,666,666,666 people. In 50 years, some population experts say it
will reach 8,888,888,888 and maybe even 15 billion by 2500.

The Global Roll Call is an online initiative and thought experiment
that is attempting, against all odds, to compile the names of all 6.6
billion people on Earth, in more than 35 languages, from more than 150
countries around the world.

The Global Roll Call has set up a website where individuals may list
their names in any language and leave comments about the Earth and
climate change and overpopulation or any other issues they are
concerned about.

While the task seems impossible, the website says “nothing is
impossible” and says it is determined to press forward with this
non-threatening thought exercise about population statistics and what
they might mean for the future of humankind in terms of global
warming and climate change.

But the initative has no climate change agenda, other than to prod
people in thinking about the issues involved. It takes no stance on
whether global warming is for real or a hoax.

COMMENT BY INTERNET POSTER ON ROLL CALL:

“We are so honored to place our names on your list.
we love planet earth, and this is a magical way to bring awareness.
thank you for including us in your project.

Bush does not say all we have to do is stop emissions. He has been pushing non corn ethanol R & D since day one. His energy proposals as opposed to what was passed have been strong on alternatives supporting technology deployment. Hic. Joe, I'm all for your goals if not always agreeing on the details. I also have no doubt US emissions will meet or exceed those goals almost irrespective (beyond cap/trade and economically sensible regulation) of government action. Your method of political attack is of a bygone era. Obama and McCain have both promised a respectful campaign featuring a reasoned discussion of the issues. It's time to throw out the ways of Carville and Begala and Rove. Earl Killian,
