I hope this isn't a case of the predicted delays of a scam setting in.

At least it was qualified by "non-industrial". Presumably the first plant is still on schedule for October.

The bottom line is that some reputable scientists have had a close look at the E-Cat, through demonstrations (the Swedes and others) or through independent verification (Levi at Bologna), and did not condemn it as being a crock. To me, this elevates the E-Cat above other clearly flaky energy schemes...

There is a distinction between "healthy skepticism" and "destructive skepticism". In the absence of strong data one way or another, people who display healthy skepticism will simply admit that they are not convinced, but do not have all the facts of the matter, either. People who display destructive...

Gahhh, I'm tired of lurking and reading you harp on and on about this! The fact that Leonardo Corporation is a rancher and an apartment is not idle speculation. That is the MAILING ADDRESS for the corporation. That is all it is! Very common when someone sets up a private corporation and doesn't both...

It's getting to be a flood. I don't understand why he doesn't start up a blog and post them there? I'd really rather read about broader technological issues here. Skip General . I don't understand who is forcing you to read this forum. Could you please explain your lack of self control? Obviously, ...

It's getting to be a flood.

I don't understand why he doesn't start up a blog and post them there?

I'd really rather read about broader technological issues here.

I'm no quantum physicist, but shouldn't the act of observing have forced the selection of one state or the other?

EDIT: nevermind. I'm going to try to maintain an open mind.

Ida May Fuller worked for three years under the Social Security program. The accumulated taxes on her salary during those three years was a total of $24.75. Her initial monthly check was $22.54. During her lifetime she collected a total of $22,888.92 in Social Security benefits. Alright, I looked h...

I'd like to know what you are proposing as an alternative. I think one of the comments sums it up well: "As an individual who paid into SS for 47 years at maximum rate (4.7 times the minimum quarters) and Medicare for 40 years I believe that I should receive, am entitled to, the benefits currently b...

I understand what Skipjack is getting at. If you took someone from 1900 America and dropped him into 1950 America, he'd be a lot more disoriented than someone taken from 1950 and dropped into 2000. Some real miracles in biotechnology, medicine, agriculture and even life extension are in the embryoni...

So what does that mean? Prices rise until an object of desire is just barely affordable. You want more disposable income? Live in a smaller house. That can be hard to do actually, at least in some places. The developers are all set on building closely-packed McMansions instead of cottages. And the ...

Two lies in two sentences and one sentence without relevance. "Lowering taxes on the rich certainly hasn't worked for us." We've scarcely done it yet, and to the extent we've done it, it worked out just fine. We are plainly on the confiscatory side of the Laffer curve. It was done in the Reagan era...
