Environmental Protest Round-Up 25 September 2009
In Peru, the government has acted on the financially troubled and environmentally challenged Doe Run Peru smelter. Their response to the closure of the site has been to give the operators a 30-month extension on their previous environmental clean-up deadline.
Is Nuclear “The Best Solution On Climate Change”?
A few weeks ago Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) called for a new energy solution. A solution that came in the form of 100 new nuclear power plants. That vision has not left the republicans’ eyes. And on Tuesday, Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) added his two cents.
You shaped your CO2 molecules like H2O. CO2 is a non-polar molecule, therefore C and the 2 Os are in a straight line.
Artistic license–they needed feet
Well, LochDhu, just because it is non-polar does not make it a linear molecule. H-F is very polar, and can be thought of as linear. It really has more to do with how they are bonded than whether they are polar.
Thanks Professor Science!
