I agree with the lack of migration.  It used to work for me back in the early 1980's, but not now.  It's a waste of time and money traveling now.  Every part of the country is hurting for jobs.  It's that way in AZ and CA.  I've been in both states in the last 3-4 years.

04/11/11 - How oven rust could be the key to unlimited fuel that will power anything
Rust from ovens could be the key to making unlimited amounts of cheap fuel that could power anything, scientists have discovered. A team used ceria, which forms when ovens are heated, to strip oxygen from water and carbon dioxide and leave them with the basics of a liquid fuel. They said that potentially this fuel could be turned into cells which could power machines or converted into a natural gas for a generator. The researchers used ceria, which is the oxidised form of cerium and forms in self-cleaning ovens, to make their discovery. The first phase involved heating the ceria to 3,000F (1,650C) using concentrated sunlight so that it naturally released oxygen from its surface. When the temperature was lowered the researchers observed that it sucked oxygen in - as if it were ‘inhaling or exhaling’ depending on the temperature. When the researchers added water and carbon dioxide and lowered the temperature, the ceria stripped the oxygen away, leaving hydrogen in place of the water and carbon monoxide in place of the carbon dioxide. Hydrogen, or H2, and carbon monoxide, CO, together can be used to make fuels. Professor Haile, said: ‘You could use the H2 and CO to make methane (natural gas) for a gas-fired electricity generator. ‘Or, because the fuels we produce are so pure, they could be easily used to run fuel cells, which generate power very efficiently.’ She explained that because cerium is 100,000 more plentiful than platinum, which had been used in previous similar experiments, it made the process much more affordable. She added that more tests need to be done to make it more efficient. ‘As a second step, it will be important to develop materials with even better characteristics than ceria,’ she told Physorg.com. ‘Ideally, one wants a material with a smaller temperature swing required as this will also increase efficiency. - Full Article Source
