For what its worth, I think AGW is a bunch of horse-pucky. I also think that the Big Bang theory has problems that are slowing being acknowledged by the scientific community. In fact, there is a growing movement among Big Bang researchers that the Big Bang may have been a "local" event and that the ...

In theory, cold fusion should be possible. If you consider it from a materials science standpoint, metals have what's known as a conduction band, where the outermost valence electrons are disassociated from the atoms in an electron cloud. If you can get deuterium atoms in the metal lattice in suffic...

I don't read Analog magazine and I have always been skeptical of cold fusion claims. The reason why I am skeptical of cold fusion is that Hydrogen embrittlement of metals is a well known problem in metallurgy that has been studied since the early 20th century. Cold fusion is based on the fusion of H...

I'm not hopeful at all. Look at what he is doing to the auto industry: http://powerandcontrol.blogspot.com/2009/01/obama-trying-to-sink-auto-industry.html With regards to bailing out industries, whats the old expression about "free" money always having strings attached. What the government giveth, ...

The money people currently spend on electricity would then be free to be spent on other goods and services. Any recession would be very mild and short.

Progress will always have consequences for those that fail to adapt to new realities. It would however be foolish to stop something that will be beneficial to many, because it might, under some circumstances have bad consequences for other countries. Russia has many more resources than just oil. Th...

Consent of the governed is only realistic when people can vote with their feet. That's the primary reason I'm interested in frontiers like the ocean and space. This is absolutely correct. Like being able to walk away from an asshole employer, true freedom only exists when you have the capability to...

Understand that philanthropy is about little more than social status and social status is pretty much limited to that which appeals to young women as morally superior. This is certainly truewith Bill Gates. Gates has always been a geek his entire life. Becoming the wealthiest man in the world has d...

Thanks for the input. My point is I don't think a request for money for this project will get very far in most cases. I imagine most non-profits, governments, companies, and etc. get all sorts of requests. And unless the person reviewing a polywell request knows better, it might seem just as whacky...

A lot of people here complain about regulations restricting capitalism as well as government using tax payer money to bail out companies in trouble. Which is better, unrestricted capitalism allowing companies to grow so large that their failure would cause prohibitive damage to our national economy...

Back to the polywell, anyone know what the next step is for the EMC2 people?

Yes, but the government also has to provide means for those to seek justice that feel betrayed. Yes, but when the redress, in the form of additional taxes and/or regulation, adversely affects those of us who had nothing to do with the original injustice in the firs place, then additional injustice ...

Yes, but the government also has to provide means for those to seek justice that feel betrayed. When people fall for a Fraud, it is not always a matter of risk misscalculation, but sometimes also of simple lack of knowlege or understanding. A lot of people that are in danger of loosing their money ...

General Fusion's concept is described as the steampunk approach to fusion power.
