I got this question the other day - what does it take to make scuba air? Good question actually. Making quality air is not difficult, but there are some real issues along the way you have to solve. I like to say it is part science and part art. To start from the beginning - when we opened the store, we understood all of the basics of making compressed air and even took a course in basic compressor maintenance and operation. But, what that told Carl and I was that we didn't know enough, that... Read Full Story
Even though the Aeros craft dwarfs the largest commercial airliners, it requires less net space on the ground than any plane because it doesn't need a runway The airship takes off and lands like a helicopter straight up and down. This is not a Blimp. It's a sort of flying Queen Mary 2 that could change the way you think about air travel. It's the Aero craft, and when it's completed, it will ferry pampered passengers across continents and oceans as they stroll leisurely about the one-acre... Read Full Story
The Sarasota Herald-Tribune editorial board takes on nuclear power in their column, " The trouble with nuclear power: Plants are generally safe, but high costs and risks remain ". The title is most interesting and you sense a feeling of ambiguity and uncertainness in it. There is trouble with nuclear power but it is safe. High costs and risks remain are true of any form of power generation. The editorial board reports, "A rising chorus of support -- from financial markets, Congress... Read Full Story
“The Arctic may hold 90 billion barrels of oil, more than all the known reserves of Nigeria, Kazakhstan, and Mexico combined, and enough to supply U.S. demand for 12 years.” One would have thought Joe Carroll’s Bloomberg News report would have evoked some interest by the public and other media outlets. Instead, news of the U.S. Geological Survey was greeted mostly by a giant collective yawn. “One third of the undiscovered oil is in Alaskan territory, the agency found…” Considering that the...

They're back! In January 1997, January 1998, and March of 2001 I wrote columns on this subject. Recently I have been contacted by some readers in the Englewood area relative to a notice they received in the mail or affixed to their doors. It offers free testing to determine if there are damaging materials in their water that could impact health, plumbing, and appliances. The notice goes on to say that the usual cost is $75.00. The test will supposedly reveal the presence of dissolved rock... Read Full Story
Waldo Proffitt our friend and columnist for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune writes an interesting article on the high price of gasoline titled, " Will desperation bring change? ". Waldo is hoping, "The high price of filling up the fuel tanks of cars or trucks just might motivate millions of voters to demand elected officials "do something" or get out of the way for those who will." The time to do something has long passed. In 1995 President Bill Clinton vetoed an energy bill that passed both... Read Full Story
Florida is sitting on top of potentially billions of barrels of oil and billions of cubic feet of natural gas. It is sitting there and we are doing nothing to go and get it. This not only makes no sense it is harming our environment, our economy, our residents and our future. As we pointed out in a previous article China and Cuba are going after Florida's Gulf oil and natural gas. Why aren't we? According to Breitbart.com Senator John McCain today said the federal moratorium on offshore oil... Read Full Story
In response to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune's editorial, " Analyze the military analysts " we provide the text of a letter we received from our friend Don O'Nesky, Lt Col, USAF, Retired. The letter that Don sent to us was from Brigadier General Jim Cash, USAF, Retired . We believe it answers the questions of the ultra liberal New York Times and their local outlet the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. Here are General Cash's comments: The most patriotic group of individuals found in this country today... Read Full Story
In the August 3, 2008 Sunday edition of the Herald-Tribune reporter Anna Scott wrote an article entitled “Iron Butterfly” about Mrs. Frances Rice the Chairman of the National Black Republican Association (NBRA). The article was critical of Mrs. Rice and her efforts on behalf of the Republican Party and to say the least, was a ‘hatchet job” on her reputation and believability. There were a number of incorrect assertions in the article such as Ms. Scott’s assertion that the signs saying that... Read Full Story
In “Drilling proponents ignore facts”, on August 13, Herald-Tribune columnist Bob Herbert, admittedly an admirer of Jimmy Carter, John Kerry and Al Gore’s idealistic rather than realistic energy and environmental policies, condemns the by now overwhelming majority of the American public and political leaders who favor drilling for new oil in the U.S. He accuses them of ignoring facts. His main accusation is ignorance that new drilling will take years to bring large quantities to the pump and... Read Full Story
