Cheap Fuel

I have been reading extensively lately which makes it hard to write something which is not based or lifted from the stuff I've come accross.

I have also been thinking of making a unique design for this blogsite, but that would entail me studying html or other intenet-publishing-related language which would take up much of my time, sacrificing time which I've alotted for more readings or re-readings.

To have some excuse of having something to blog, here are some thoughts which have crossed my mind a while ago:

1. Is data considered matter?
2. Why can't they make instant-tea (from the teabags sold in supermarkets) taste like freshly brewed tea?
3. If there is such a thing as a third eye, could there be such a thing as a fourth, fifth, or sixth?
4. If fuel prices skyrocket in the world market (to like P50 per liter, as some would speculate, before the turn of the year), shouldn't they already consider mining deuterium from the Philippine deep since it is purported to be "inexhaustible" and "cheap" and "renewable" and well within the Philippines' area of responsiblity?

(I had the grandest time of listening and participating as my family discussed [point # 4 over dinner on Christmas eve last year. An interesting and intellectual bunch, that lot.)

Of the four, the last issue tend to have the most politics involved since there would be a need for investors whould would have to put up the needed infrastrucure for such to operate. There should be international support, as well, from maufacturers of machines, such as car engines for example, who would have to require deuterium as fuel. So much work needs to be done but the government has to be vigilant about the project since it would take years to plan and implement. Then again, much like all money-making ventures, the project will cost us, and it will not come cheap (at the start, that is).

(Read on the link provided in "deuterium" above to have an overview of the sheer magnitude of what this project could bring to the country)
