- Hellacious wallboard--take 2
- Hellacious wallboard--take 2Sulphate is rock stableReally a shame that a blog which started well gets tained by fear mongering: Gypsum is used in wallboard globally. It?s a naturally-occuring, very soft mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, CaSO4?2H2O. Note there?s a sulphur ion there. Any impurities that cause the gypsum to...

- What's a brick?
- CinderblockMany years ago a product called cinderblock was made from coal fire residue. It was similar to standard concrete block. In many cases, over time, it proved far less satisfactory. One big problem was degradation in a wet environment. It would get sort of mushy and...

- Could you green the world brick by brick?
- One California-based company is going to try. And they're going to make those "green" bricks in Wisconsin, not ship them in from China. The new-fangled brick has been pioneered by CalStar Products. A basic ingredient of the CalStar brick is coal ash, residue from burning coal. There...

- They're still pushing hydrogen

- Transparency buried beneath ash heap. Wallboard the fix?
- There are apparently 44 coal ash heaps that endanger human lives in the U.S. That's the EPA's conclusion. And those 44 sites will remain secret because you or some other terrorist might unleash a deadly ash flow through the coal-burning communities of the U.S. I blogged...

- Chinese drywall: more than you paid for?
- I blogged earlier about problems blamed on impurities in Chinese-made plaster board. Tests by the Environmental Protection Agency test results released today confirm those suspicions. Sulphur compounds are there. Also strontium and other unwanted impurities. The ironies here are immense. In political theory...

- That's not a rotten egg, it's just my wallboard venting
- Apparently hundreds of homes getting new wallboard in 2005 and 2006 were dealt a rotten batch of wallboard, as in rotten eggs. The Chinese-originated wall board apparently vents sulphur compounds. That in turn does nasty things to pipes, air conditioners and humans. So far the problem has...

- Prices up, consumption down--market economics working for gasoline consumers?
- Yes, American gasoline prices have risen more than 30% in a year. Yes, consumption is now down in the U.S., year to year. Just under 4%. So maybe nobody ever said there was a one-to-one ratio. Bet if gasoline gets to $5 per gallon, consumption will...
