And I see I've been ignored as all my critics act like if wind power is present at all, all other forms power generation are punishable by death or something comparably ludicrous. Wind power would be wonderful if it either cost less than coal or it was as reliable as coal. Since it is neither it ha...

I can't see anyone staking their career on a proposition with so many obvious and prominent red flags. Fortunately I have no career. Sign me up. My most positive indication so far? Art Carlson is only 99.9% dismissive. He used to be 100%. Well, Dr. Nebel arguably has the clearest view of the viabil...

It's the world capital of Me. Except it's population is among the most generous anywhere, because they choose to be. Yours, TDP, ml, msl, & pfpp If you're referring to American charity, you have to admit that it suffers from a bizarre double standard. People are starving and homeless in the U.S., a...

But windmills... where's the excitement in them? Where's the glory? The glory is in stemming the flow of money out of our economies and into the hands of terrorists. At least partially. Oh, yeah - THAT'LL fire up a 10-year old's imagination like nobody's business! I can see the recruiting posters n...

The glory is in stemming the flow of money out of our economies and into the hands of terrorists. At least partially.

My point is that the ultimate goal of an effective totalitarian government is to create a belief that individuals are worthless and nothing can be accomplished unless “the government does something about it”. As a famous Soviet poet said "The individual is nonsense, the individual is zero”. As the ...

Adult stem cell research is showing much more progress than embryonic, and although the tokamaks may be fun toys for the physicists to play with, the original concept behind them was for something that actually produced power for the masses, not jobs for PhDs. Eight years of investment in one and n...

You mean regressing science by promoting the theory of Anthropomorphic Global Warming(TM), or pouring money down the known rat hole of fetal stem cell research? Or insisting tokomaks are our best bet for fusion power? Yours, TDP, ml, msl, & pfpp No, like researching to find the point at which scien...

The lottery is for people who are bad at math, and if you're haunting this neck of the intertubes, you're probably not that bad at math. Maybe that explains why I very rarely buy a ticket - only when the reward (over $200 mil) approaches or exceeds the chance of winning. (1 in 175 mil or so.) And e...

All I can say about this is that I hope you are better informed about Polywell technology than you are about finance. I have learned one or two things about finance over the years: http://powerandcontrol.blogspot.com/2008/09/best-congress-fannie-could-buy.html http://powerandcontrol.blogspot.com/20...

What will the harm have been if CO2 emissions are limited until then? It scares me that some people don't understand why losing trillions of dollars in economic growth because of a nonissue is harmful. What is the basis for your assertion that capitalism and markets are 'very rational'? Because if ...

There may be occasional swings of irrationality in one sector or another, but if capitalism were essentially irrational we'd all be communists instead because that would work better. Overall, markets are very rational. Oh, and btw: fear and greed are rational too. What is the basis for your asserti...

.is inaction today in the name of certainty worth the risk of a very long and very substantial suffering? Is doing the wrong thing today in the name of certainty worth the risk of a very long and very substantial suffering? FIFY Cause if the climate is getting colder we could be in for a very rough...

In science such is the way of getting closer to the truth. Phlogiston died hard. It was still wrong. When data and theory do not match (CO2 is THE major climate driver in the 21st Century) it is time for a new theory (CO2 is a minor driver of climate in the 20th century - as it was in the 20th, the...
