The Psychology of killing!!

Rather this post is about the trauma of killing. Killing someone or watching someone die in front of you is complete life changing. We talking about killing is like Virgins talking about sex! The most traumatic emotions are when to see someone pass away even if its an animal.
We easily save ourselves and our kids from this trauma and never want to experience it but I've seen even even most brave individuals completely reformed visiting the killing floor. The primary question here and we all need this to ask ourselves that do we need to distance ourselves from ask the killings that happens for us? Well i'm going to say "No" since i can't distance myself from a reality caused by me.
In an experiment certain strong individuals were placed in prehistoric environment with basic tools and asked to survive on their own. They fared well and killed certain small animals with no remorse. But that wasn't enough for survival so they tried their chance on a bigger animal. The participants can never forget their arrows piercing that Swamp deer. The complete trauma of separating the animal from the herd, hitting with a dart, then finally putting him down upon collapsing by spear was unbearable for all of them and most of them cried.


In such cases i find myself correct when i assert that we are not ought to kill here as we are not natural killers. Man has always hidden this fact for himself by developing easy killing methods and faster methods. But he has never justified that killing. The destruction of all the emotions of a being for your interests can never be justified.
The only thing that i can never decipher is that how can we ever manage to ignore the basic and important facts and processes of your life. ask your small child where this nuggets came from and he'll answer 'supermarket'.
I think Time has come when we at least answer ourselves!!1

Biofuels.

Biofuels are produced from living organisms or from metabolic by-products(organic or food waste products). In order to be considered a biofuel the fuel must contain over 80 percent renewable materials. It is originally derived from the photosynthesis process and can therefore often be referred to as a solar energy source. Biofuels include fuels derived from biomass conversion, as well as solid biomass, liquid fuels and various biogases. 'First-generation' or conventional biofuels are biofuels made from sugar, starch, and vegetable oil. Second generation biofuels are biofuels produced from sustainable feedstock.
Biodiesel was probably the first of the alternative fuels to really become known to the public. The great advantage of biodiesel is that it can be used in existing vehicles with little or no adaptation necessary. Cars running on BioEthanol, which is produced from agricultural crops, sugar cane or bio-mass, are governed by the same law of physics as those using gasoline. That means both emit CO2, as an inevitable consequence of the combustion process. But there is a crucial difference: burning ethanol, in effect, recycles the CO2 because it has already been removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis during the natural growth process.
Along with the traditional methods we have new advancements in the renewable energy production. One of such examples include Engineers Tapping Algae Cells for Electricity :With the help of photosynthesis plants convert light energy to chemical energy. This chemical energy is stored in the bonds of sugars they use for food. Photosynthesis happens inside a chloroplast. Chloroplasts are considered as the cellular powerhouses that make sugars and impart leaves and algae a green hue. During photosynthesis water is split into oxygen, protons and electrons. When sunrays fall on the leaves and reach the chloroplast, electrons get excited and attain higher energy level. These excited electrons are caught by proteins. The electrons are passed through a series of proteins. These proteins utilize more of the
electrons’ energy to synthesize sugars until the entire electron’s energy is exhausted. Now researchers intercepted the electrons just after they had been excited by light and were at their highest energy levels. They put the gold electrodesinside the chloroplasts of algae cells, and tapped the electrons to create a tiny electrical current. It may be the beginning of the production of “high efficiency” bioelectricity. This will be a clean and green source of energy but minus carbon dioxide. The cell remains alive throughout the whole process. When cells start the photosynthesis, the electrodes attract electrons and produce tiny electric current.
