Please welcome environmentalist, designer, director and visionary…Ms. Jackie Ivy
Welcome and thanks for visiting us today. A lot of people know something about the market Street revitalization. But I'm not sure we know the whole story and it's exciting. There’s a lot of green technology being used in and on these buildings. Let's start first by having you tell us how this all started.... where did the idea come from to put this project together...
- What does this project entail.... scope of the project.... geographical area...
- Let's talk about renovation and the restoration of the older and more historic market Street buildings.... tell us about preserving the façades and what the insides of these buildings will be like.
- Okay but skipped the meat..... let's talk about the Greening of this historic renovation. What different technologies are you using to help reduce the carbon footprint and save energy and money...
- Tell us about some of your favorite buildings and projects.
- What are some of the obstacles that you've encountered while trying to upgrade all these buildings and incorporate green technology.
- Can you tell us about some of the special buildings and what market Street will be like for us when this project is complete... the WSF as building what will that be like the Queen Theatre, and there's a happy Harry's on the Mall what will that building be like and can you tell us about green roofs
- Can you tell about some of the city partners and business partners that are working with you on reshaping our downtown.
- Can you tell us what we can do or what our listeners can do to become involved in helping revitalize the city and the riverfront...

October 26, 2007 research on a dire problem carbon capture and I quote “without carbon capture and sequestration we are all toast”
Wow! I'm not even sure what sequestration is but let's see if we can understand it better. Chang Lin a scientist with the China sustainable energy program and the Berkeley Lab issued that gloomy proclamation a few weeks ago and it's a fitting description of the current world situation when it comes to global warming. To make it worse, Lin added that the world is not responding to the challenge. Well, at least not yet.
We have invested in deep research or spend much money in testing out the scenarios he said there are a lot of uncertainties
Still it's not over yet and the University of Texas this week announced it has received a $38 million grant to study the feasibility of injecting carbon dioxide into Brine filled underground wells over a 10 year period.
Sequestration is the storage of the carbon dioxide that we're going to be capturing so that it doesn't go back into the atmosphere and create global warming. So if we produce carbon dioxide we have to have a place to put it so worried an opponent where it will get into the atmosphere. Looks like a bit of using old empty wells to inject the carbon dioxide and to liquids that will hold and keep it from escaping into the atmosphere.
The Texas project is part of the Southeast regional carbon sequestration partnership funded by the national energy technology laboratory of the Department of Energy their goal is to study carbon dioxide injection and storage capacity at the Tuscaloosa Woodbine geological that stretches from Texas to Florida region has the potential to store more than 200 Billion tons of this guest which the department says is equal to about 33 years of emissions beginning in the fall of 2008 SECARB scientists will start to inject 1,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year into a Brian reservoir near Natchez Mississippi the brine is up to 10,000 feet below the surface in some ways the US is in Saudi Arabia of gaping holes more in the future.
B. So How did we get so Isolated.... The Car? I think yes... and some other things, I think the individualism deepened with the advent of the TV and also with more of an emphasis on personal mobility, individual travel options, and the individual accumulation of things for personal amusement. And I'm not saying that any of this is bad, I'm not judging it at all, what I am saying is that I think the direction that the popular culture has taken us whether intentioned or not is in one of isolation in part from the people who live closest to us. And it cost us in dollars and cents plus more
And this consequent cost of this individuation has been higher than any of us could have calculated. I know we can argue this but I think that in a lot of cases this may be true. So without extended families around us we've lost touch with a much larger closer group that we used to hang out with and rely on and work with in order to reduce the cost of living for all.
So in this vein we are encouraging people to get together in their communities and neighborhoods and start organizing around saving energy. The neighborhood website should be finished soon and available as a template to do so.
We will be talking about other ways to organize, have fun deepen your relationships with your neighbors have potluck supper's and reduce your personal energy consumption and costs by getting together with your neighbors. Just like they used to do in the good old days.
