Geopolymer: A Cheaper, Greener Alternative for Cement

[@randytucker3083]

Way fun presentation. High shear mixing trick sounds like something I need to try.

So many amazing applications and benefits. I believe we have had this knowledge for a long time and it was lost and or hidden from us......There is evidence of geopolymer use all over this planet in construction, 'natural' geology and many beautiful artifacts. We should only be using geopolymers. Brilliant information.

I am sure Geopolymers have their utility but it is ultimately a competitor for the cement industry. They won't simply accept this challenge without fighting it. Just as the oil and coal industries refuse to yield to photovoltaic and wind energy. These pre-existing industries will continue to resist change. As in everything else in this world, those who have money refuse to give up the means by which they have acquired their wealth by all means possible. This includes political intimidation and licensing rights. It might be better to mobilize all forms of opposition to move the would-be consumers so they could apply pressure from the consumer point of view. I am sure I am not saying something that others have not said before. A head-to-head comparison might be more convincing to soften the attitudes of the opposition. Cost is usually the greatest motivator! Thank you.

Can you imagine what the criminal led labor unions would have to say about the labor saving aspect of this. I can see all the organization That typically despise each other, joining arms , under the ' the enemy of my enemy is my friend ' Standard.

OMG, the damned Civil Engineers and their standards! Plus its a floor wax and a dessert topping, and makes men prettier snd women more handsome with deeper voices and hair on their chests, and... Egad.

Don't blame the LEOs (Civil engineers), blame the public who want to be ruled and thereby grant authority, i.e., permission to use deadly force against all "for the common good". This is immoral and impractical but they won't listen or learn. They "know" we "need" to be controlled by force or the result is chaos, but really it's peace, freedom, prosperity, thru reason & rights. How do we break free of an age-old superstition, of rulers (so-called experts) who force their will on all and claim it's our will? See the '08 Great Bank Bailout opposed by 99.9% but forcibly transferred $Trillions to the richest. It was the biggest robbery in history, done openly by the rulers.
