Re: Funding Polywell by an ICO

Those are good points, and a good question: Where is EMC2 now? One would think that a slice of a large pie is better than slice of a zero pie. On the other hand ICO would allow EMC2 to keep full control of the company. The profits fro the investors would be derived from the demand for the coins in w...

Recently Gnosis, a distributed computing startup raised $12M thru an ICO … all in 12 minutes. T...

Is Johan Prins banned?

Johan Prins sent me a message saying he doesn't post here any more because he is banned.
Can we verify this? Maybe he mistyped his password and locked himself out? Do we have any way to check this out?

Re: Fission news(I know blasphemy )

Is Yucca really the primary hurdle for nuclear? The primary hurdle is politics, regulations as RERT said, and news media that profit from scaremongering. From technical perspective Yucca is the main hurdle. The biggest issue with Nuclear is that is produces hazardous waste that is -difficult to sto...

Re: Fission news(I know blasphemy )

Maybe, but Trump seems hell bent on saving the coal industry. Not that I think he could do it, but that probably won't stop him from trying. A nuclear revival would only help bury coal... would he want that? I'd sure like to have an unbiased answer as to whether nuclear (any fission tech) makes sen...

Re: Fission news(I know blasphemy )

There is a talk about resurrecting Yucca Mountain now that Harry Reid and Obama are retired. YC was graded for a million years of safe storage. This would address most of the issues we have with fission waste.

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change

In the CAGW discussion sceptics focus too much on science because the alarmists will not listen to facts. Credibility of their opinion leaders is a better target. They are surrogates of OPEC in the camouflage of the environmentalists and selected scientist. They are business men looking for governm...
