Just this once. I'm sure all the climate cranks have an explanation for this: http://desmogblog.com/2012/11/15/why-climate-deniers-have-no-credibility-science-one-pie-chart 14,000 to 25, in round numbers. Shoot, we'll have global warming fixed while the flatlander deniers still don't believe in it.

I note you're lumping real scientists (referred to by an inflammatory term) with 2 groups of pseudo scientists. "Popular Science" hasn't been a decent science magazine for years. That would be a "no." Bye now. I no longer engage with climate trolls who don't know the difference between a scientist ...

This is due to climate deniers, physics cranks, and creationists polluting the comments to such an extent it was no longer possible to hold a conversation. All the people who knew anything got chased off by the cranks invading the volunteer staff, and when you logged on to Popular Science to get an ...

Hello, this is my first post on this board which I often read. I second hanelyp's question. Sandia's Z machine injected 18 million amps in its wire-array Z pinch, imploded into an ultra dense, ultra hot plasma on axis (about one-millimeter diameter). It successor ZR triggers 26 million amps, and st...

t doesn't matter how safe it is, it doesn't matter how good the containment is, it doesn't matter how good the safety systems are, it doesn't matter how well it's designed, it doesn't matter how well trained the operators are, it doesn't matter what school the nuclear engineers who designed it went...

Zix, I'm not talking about doomsday scenarios. I'm talking about transparency, and its lack, and what that means to most people. They're never going to go for it without total transparency. Those three examples I pointed to prove that transparency is lacking, if anyone needed anything of the kind af...

No one wants to be blamed for an accident, everyone covers their ass when an accident happens, and in the quest for profits, safety is squeezed often beyond safe limits, you only have to ask aircraft mechanics to hear about the awful level of maintence that goes on there on a regular basis. <snip> ...

What do you think gives more money? An expensive power plant that gives its price over a decade, and continues to do profit for many more decades OR a cheap, half-assed work that will land you in jail if not lose several times the money saved due to lawsuits? No one wants an accident, and everyone ...

1. Greedy utility companies shorting on design or monitoring because government oversight is insufficient to prevent it; 2. Greedy countries using the technology to manufacture nuclear weapons; 3. Countries with a desperate need for energy using nuclear reactors with insufficient safeguards because...

I promised I'd show up; I'm busy, but I've seen this thread, and I'll be here when I have a little time to spend. Just for starters, my concerns about fission are far more about human factors than they are inherent danger (although fission is dangerous- no question about it). I see the technical hur...

They appear to be figuring on taking ground at a grid near or inside the electron plasma; this ground would be an electron source, as DC grounds always are (from the conventional current perspective). The positive fusion products would exit the plasma, being of much higher energy, and strike a grid ...

Howdy folks! You can call me "Schneib" for short.

Hello Schneib. From the South?

No, the West Coast.

Mmmm. Interesting discussion, but I think this is the wrong forum for it- and it's sure the wrong thread! I'll be happy to have that conversation with you in the right place, Zix. Thanks for the offer, Joe, tony. I have something on the fire- I'll haul it out for everyone to critique when it's a lit...
