VC money sitting on the sidelines

Post by TallDave »

Obviously they're waiting for Polywell results in April.
n*kBolt*Te = B**2/(2*mu0) and B^.25 loss scaling? Or not so much? Hopefully we'll know soon...

haha - yes. fools.
And ironically, that means that Barack Obama’s pet “clean” projects will be hardest hit
is true and worying, as is a 7% downturn. but hey, markets are fickle. they'll soon pick up on any new real/'physical' opportunities.

come to that, does anyone know what the futures markets are quoting on a fuison breakthough at present ( i recall there is an online index/market somewhere that specialises in such 'unlikely' things).

All right, which one of you jokers reserved http://www.bussardfusion.biz/ ? Came up on Google alerts this morning.

rcain -- You might find that on Intrade. The problem with these esoteric markets, though, is that the wisdom of crowds requires... crowds.

Additional contact info is available in the whois record..

This seems to be his primary website: http://charliecain.com/index.cfm given that the same contact info is available on his resume there as is on the whois record. or possibly this one... for the same reason: http://www.ccainweb.com/index.cfm

Today, it was "Polywellfusionreactor.net"

Heh.

So $100 pays $122 in 2015? Hmmm. Not a very good investment -- that's only a few percent a year.

just that i'm afraid - pure coincidence. nothing to do with me or any of my relatives (that i know of). bit dam cheeky if you ask me. most probably cyber-squaters, waiting for news to break so they can try and sell the url back to EMC2 for some obscene price. to some extent UK/EU law protects against this sort of practice - i dont know about the US.
