    Dgb, is the 300 kelvin difference the medium temperature difference?

    The days got about the same temperature (slightly warmer on Venus about 30-50 Kelvin). But at the nights it differs quite alot, Venus temperature drop like 70 degrees, while Mercurys temperature drops about 550 degrees.

    You do realize 300 degrees Kelvin is about room temperature, so the temp difference isn't that much.
    You do realize that Kelvin and Celsius is the same thing? The only difference is that Kelvin puts absolute zero as zero (-273.15 C) and not the freezing point of ice (as Cesius did). 373.15 degrees Kelvin is the boiling point of water.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    For $200 trillion I'm pretty sure you could just develop a new source of power, and a way of implementing it.

    That's any awful lot of money...

    Such childlike naivete is acutally quite touching Steppe. Who do you think the 'government' is? And who do you think the worst polluters are? This boogey man that you fear, corporations, is one and the same as the savior you seek, the government.
    Well I know that this government is controlled by the buisnesses. I meant hypothetically, the government ought to control the buisnesses. But it is vice versa...
    In otherwords, the savior I seek doesn't exist. I wouldn't trust the current American goverment to fix the enviornment. When I said government, I meant the ideal (in my mind), unreachable form that would apply to any country, that I think should exist.
    So when I say government should control the buisnesses, I don't mean this one, I meant in my ideal, unreachable world were everyone is happy.
    But I think that even though it's unreachable, we should still reach for it, and do the best we can to achieve it.

    If you should stand then who's to guide you?
    If I knew the way I would take you home."
