I understand that this summers (2010) heat is the cause of this cycle. Any truth?? If so how does this happen?

Venus has almost no water. Even including water vapor in your back of the envelop calcs still leave you very short of Venus actual temperatures which are a maximum of 477 degC & minimum of 447 degC. Also, unlike Earth, these max-min temperatures do not come from the dayside of Venus vs. nightside of Venus or equatorial vs. polar Venus temperatures. which are the same in all cases. The max-min temperatures are due only to elevation differences. Your oil industry based bias shows major & continuous errors.

I have no objection whatsoever to this disposal method. In fact, it sounds rather good, as you say. What is ridiculous is Sullivan's justification based on greenhouse gasses.

As human beings, we mourn and honor our dead. A CycledBurial shows reverence for the deceased and for the living. It is a sustainable and ecological process. Very little is consumed by the process. With CycledBurial, our world and its inhabitants are better off. The CycledBurial(TM) systems allow the deceased to be safely interred in the earth. It eliminates the public health risks experienced from burying unsterile human remains in the ground. Coffins, vaults, and cemetery plots are not necessary for those who opt for this new method of burial. This burial method costs about the same as a cremation, without causing harm to the environment or to the living. Burials have led to pandemics that have killed more people than have lost their lives in battle. The deceased eventually become liquid and pollute aquifers. Burying unsterile bodies places the living at risk. Protecting the living from the departed is a battle worth fighting. CycledBurial is a hygienic burial.

The EPA knows that corn ethanol is at best neutral on GHG emissions (and the current production method probably increases them) while the ethanol mandates likely lead to more pollution from agricultural run-off. The only reason E-15 has any life is as a leverage to get farm state senator votes. With the climate/energy bill going nowhere, why would the EPA want to advance an E-15 mandate when it cannot be leveraged for its ultimate purpose? Look for the EPA to find a reason to postpone the mandate to a later date. There is hope.
