Procurement difficulties? I wonder if it is some lingering after 'ffect of the continuing resolution? I read that gummed up a lot of things money wise. I am not qualified to have much of an opinion as to whether this will work, but I tend to think it won't. I very much want to be wrong though. I can...

Based on some inside information I'm not at liberty to divulge I'd say August or September MIGHT be a good time. Me? I've sort of lost burning interest and am willing to let events unfold. Now I am wondering if you lost interest because of EMC2 attitude or due to the type of information you receive...

OK, just for fun, what would happen to the world economy if it was suddenly discovered how to make any element on the periodic table. Including gold. Tons of the stuff. All you would need is some sort of matter or even energy. Turn on your big machine (purchased at Walmart for 2% of your annual afte...

I suggest this as quick reading: http://www.amazon.com/Eerie-Silence-Renewing-Search-Intelligence/dp/0547133243 ----------------------------------------------------- The Fermi Paradox is good.

Finally! With the democrats in my wallet and the republicans in my bed I can't do anything. And if I tried, thanks to the dem's I couldn't afford it and thanks to the rep's it’d probably be illegal. Or maybe not? Maybe I just need to calm down and think this through? Maybe I should read the threads ...

Polywell and the next budget

Looks like a budget fight is coming. Should we worry about Polywell funding?

Well the problem was that they erected a commercial building on somebodies private property without permission and without paying rent, etc. I cant just go and put my desk into Next G Communications offices and then do my own business there, right? So why should they be allowed to do that? I think ...

Cell Towers and property rights

Hey, what about this? http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/02/04/l-i-couple-wins-game-of-chicken-over-rogue-cell-tower/ I wonder why they thought they could do it? This is still a Polywell thread, so, what if this had been working Polywell type fusion reactor? And the town didn't want that either? :-)

KitemanSA, I actually brought it up earlier. So there are constitutional (in the US anyway) ways that government can do things that would end up hurting businesses? 1. If it is in the interest of national defense 2. Anything else? Just making small talk. I remember reading about the controversy with...

The government is already putting coal out of business. This spring, the EPA is going to delicense about 20% of the coal power plants in the country due to mercury emissions. They are using mercury regulations, drafted without congressional oversight, to achieve curbs in CO2 emission, again without...

Re: Putting companies out of business

Should the US Government be funding something that would put companies out of business? If it works as hoped, Polywell would most likely put coal companies out of business. What is the constitutional authority for doing this? Even if unintended. That strikes me as a truly feeble question. Is it rig...
