Just looking at one of my first posts and had to laugh at how "green" I was for overseas travel.

I have learned SO much from traveling. Thanks to everyone on these boards who has been so patient with new posters who are just venturing out!

Of course, now I have a routine of things to pack, found out it isn't so scary using an ATM card overseas (it works just like here in the US), have learned to use the metro system in different countries, etc.

I know what you mean - that first trip feels like steping off a cliff - LOL.

Then a couple trips later you wonder why you were so worried.

Yet, I am surrounded by those with dogmatic ideas about foreign countries: the less they have traveled, more certain that they know about foreign countries.

By the time I made it to Europe, I'd done quite a bit of traveling other places like the Caribbean and Mexico so my rookie mistakes were mostly made elsewhere.

(When people spout off with "people in Paris are rude" or "the canals in Venice stink"... I find more often than not they have never even been to Europe.)

The more I travel the more I know, and the more I know how much I don't know, and the more I know how much I'd like to know.

Hmm.... so I guess I should talk to veteran travelers about this clean coal technology so I can understand it ? Just kidding (Can you tell I am watching the debate simultaneously?).

Looks so easy hey! re storing CO2

And then just pack your breathing gear just in case if deciding on some trekking about some African Lakes - http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon...kestrans.shtml

Some irony there I suppose, pumping it in some places and dragging it out others.

Also been some good moves in alternate measures for CO2, re utilising it in greehouses and also some experimenting re accelerating algae growth to be used for fuel generation - sort of reversing the chemical processes with aid of solar, but capture from power stations remaind the killer cost.

I was just kidding, Bushranger (the first link is what is called as deep well sequestration and one of several techniques leading to "clean" which is mostly an euphemism). I agree with CIB and travelyn. The more you see, the more you know, the more you realize what you don't know, so you really should see even more Have a good day.
