No need to wonder. We saw American crisis management in New Orleans a few years back. On balance, I'd say that the Japanese are handling the crisis about a million times better than we handled that one. Remember that there are three distinct disasters happening here, all at once. Earthquake, tsunami...

This thread reminds me of the Jerry Springer show.

It should be obvious by now that Johan will keep this 'misundertanding' going ad-infinitum. It's good publicity for his book and he has no incentive whatsoever to admit he's selling snake oil. The only way to approach this is to operate on the assumption that there's absolutely no truth whatsoever t...

Johan, There are only two paths here. Path one, you take whatever steps are necessary to prove your theory, including embracing industry standard testing procedures and methods. Once proved you become a hero. Path two, you continue to dither, complain, whine, insult, and avoid taking the steps neces...

I don't think MSimon is incapable of impartiality as seems to be implied. I never implied that and I am sorry if I gave that impression. On the contrary, I never saw him abusing about his moderator status during these years. My point was just that to keep politics out of a non politic area you need...

Its not like we don't know how to manufacture stuff. By and large, American companies are the ones setting up and running the plants in foreign countries. Which is why we stopped using GNP and switched to GDP - GNP wasn't telling us what was happening to our people here. Which is better for America...

The recent issue has nothing to do with 'Topic drift'. It is about topics being put in totally the wrong forum. If the forum header reads; "Point out news stories, on the net or in mainstream media, related to polywell fusion." then it isn't drift to talk about US politics it is just plain wrong to...

As the person who started this topic, I confess that I am deeply disappointed that it so quickly veered off into a completely unrelated political rant. You guys have totally tunred me off to this forum. The forum appears to be dominated by political crack pots who do a real disservice to what I tho...

One Chinese guy I know once criticised the average American for amassing debt to spend on consumer items while the Chinese saved all the money they made from working in factories. I pointed out that without the Americans going into debt to spend on consumer items made in China there would be no ind...

Wow. Bussard is looking more like a scientific Bernie Madoff every day.

The article should read, Bob Guccione LOST 10% of his vast wealth on Bussard's failed Compact Tokamak project.

The overall effort of this program is to lower carbon footprint and reduce reliance on petroleum through the Polywell fusion concept Does anyone else find this passage particularly ironic? There is so much rage on this board about funding of AGW initiatives, and this boondoggle happens to be anothe...

Completely agree with your assessment of the situation, and hold that out as the principal reason why continued funding from the government for this project should stop. Let them find private financing for their private project, and the govt can buy the finished product if it ever pans out. Thank y...

This is a bit rich. As far as I know, the entire sum of Polywell knowledge has been funded by the government. How on earth can you say that that body of knowledge, ALL of which was paid for by the tax payer, doesn't belong in the public domain? Let me see if I can make this simple enough for you. T...

When a shareholder can demonstrate cause, the law does allow them to investigate their holdings and their management in detail. True, but it doesn't permit BP shareholders to demand to review the proprietary data of Bob's Bar and Oil Suctioning Company, even if BP has a contract with them. At most,...

I don't see what is so difficult to understand here. If EMC2 wants to develop a private energy system then all is well, they just shouldn't be asking the US government to finance that research...and similarly, the US government shouldn't be financing private research either. The disbursement of tho...
