More Ideas for the Fabulous State of New Jersey


~ Build a Spaceport on Cape May to launch astronauts and adventurers (tourists) to the ISS.

~Build a production facility for Delta 4's, Atlas 5's, Falcon 9's and Jupiter 120's. (Various rockets for those who don't know.)

New New Jersey Sports teams ---------

- Baseball - New Jersey Mets
- Football -New Jersey Jets
- Basketball - New Jersey Nets
- Hockey - New Jersey Devils
- Soccer - New Jersey Angels

{{The New Jersey Sports Authority could run these teams on a for profit basis with 25% of the profit going to the Executives, 25% of the profit going to shareholders, and the other 50% of profit going into the General Treasury of the State of New Jersey. Have a government authority run it until 2020, and then sell it to private investors.}}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~A Warship dismantling/refurbishment yard in Port Newark, NJ or near Sandy Hook (In Leonardo?) would give employment to hundreds of people. It could dismantle old warships from all over the world, or refurbish them for other uses.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Build a Processing Plant capable of accepting the Radioactive waste that is generated in all Northeastern states before it is shipped to Nevada. It could be processed in NJ, put onto ships and sent thru the Panama Canal to the Gulf of California (near the Salton Sea), and then trucked to Nevada, rather than being trucked all the way across the US.

The color purple

I found this paragraph on a Science website (Eurekalert) -

"There are special and yet prevalent circumstances under which micro-organisms have no better way of gaining energy than to release hydrogen into their environment," said Dr Mark Redwood from the University of Birmingham. "Microbes such as heterotrophs, cyanobacteria, microalgae and purple bacteria all produce biohydrogen in different ways."

Ya see! Ya see! I told ya there were Purple bacteria! :-D

Another new word - "... antibodies with enzymatic activity, also known as abzymes..."
