Question by Mad Max: How does the balance of power shift if Iran becomes a nuclear power?
It seems to me that it is inevitable that Iran becomes a nuclear power. Bush was unable to stop North Korea, and didn’t stop Iran. Obama is unlikely to go to war in order to stop Iran, and even Israel is unlikely to at this point because the reactors now have nuclear fuel in them.
Once Iran becomes a nuclear power, what other countries will become nuclear powers, and how will this affect the long term strategic interests of the US? How will it change the balance of power in the world?
Best answer:
Answer by Oldwhiteguy2earth The concern is not so much the balance of power as much as it is the sworn goal of Iran to wipe Israel off the face of the map. Since Muslims will be rewarded in Heaven, someone in the Iranian hierarchy could possibly light up the Middle East without regard for the consequences.
The National Geographic Channel has released footage from 21-22 April, 2010 showing the Deepwater Horizon oil platform collapse into the Gulf of Mexico as it burns. Video Rating: 4 / 5
BP has published its internal investigation into the accident on the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico on 20 April 2010. The investigation found that no single factor caused the Macondo well tragedy. Rather, a sequence of failures involving a number of different parties led to the explosion and fire which killed 11 people and caused widespread pollution in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this year.

Question by al mond: In a hybrid vehicle like the Toyota Prius, couldn’t the electric motor be used to replace the transmission?
Couldn’t the electric motor part of the hybrid vehicle be used strictly for getting up to speed before connecting to the gasoline engine. The gas engine might then be run at a constant speed with greater gas engine efficiency. Maybe even not have a conventional transmission system at all, but use the electric motor in its place.

Question by Midzy: how does a geothermal power station work?
is the power converted into wind energy? :s but how?
i mean how does this thing provide electrical power to houses and all..
does it use steam to spin the turbine?
Best answer:
Answer by ammassridhar Geothermal power (from the Greek words geo, meaning earth, and therme, meaning heat) is energy generated by heat stored beneath the Earth’s surface or the collection of absorbed heat in the atmosphere and oceans.
Prince Piero Ginori Conti tested the first geothermal generator on 4 July 1904, at the Larderello dry steam field in Italy.
The largest group of geothermal power plants in the world is located in The Geysers, a geothermal field in California. As of 2007, geothermal power supplies less than 1% of the world’s energy.

Gingrich-linked smear specialist Kirchick labels Paul “paranoid conspiracy theorist” for discussing manifestly provable issues Paul Joseph Watson www.infowars.com Thursday, December 29, 2011 Gingrich-linked smear specialist James Kirchick is presumably nonplussed that his attempt to regurgitate the 15-year-old debunked non-story of Ron Paul’s ‘racist’ newsletters has had absolutely no effect on the polls, but he is forging ahead anyway with further attacks, this time in the form of a New York Times editorial that labels Paul a “paranoid conspiracy theorist” for discussing manifestly provable issues. As we previously documented in our response to Kirchick’s regurgitation of a story he originally pushed four years ago, the New Republic writer is an apologist for Newt Gingrich and other neo-cons of his ilk. Kirchick is a proud neo-con who serves as a fellow with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington, an influential neo-conservative collective funded by numerous noted billionaires. The group’s list of “distinguished advisors” includes former CIA and FBI heads. The group is virtually a lobbying front for the state of Israel, which explains perfectly why Kirchick is so upset with Paul, who has promised to put a stop to the billions in foreign aid the United States sends to Israel every year. Sitting on the group’s Leadership Council is none other than Newt Gingrich, one of Ron Paul’s main rivals in the Republican primary. Given that association, it’s …
Question by : Why does nuclear fission AND fusion release energy?
The Sun undergoes nuclear fusion, combining hydrogen to form helium and so on, but it also releases light energy in the process. Nuclear fission (splitting the atom), however, also releases light and heat energy. How does this work? I would think that nuclear fusion would take IN energy in order to fuse together the nucleuses of atoms. And then when an atom splits, energy would be released because energy is stored to keep the bond between nuclear particles. So why would both processes release energy?
Best answer:
Answer by Roger S In both cases the mass of the objects after the reaction is less than before the reaction. The lost mass has been converted into energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
