First all this is written in advertising speak so it gives few facts and as many buzz words as possible. Second what the heqq does it have to do with renewable power? If you can spin saphire fibers that carry 40 times what copper can that's significant. Take a 0000 cable it weighs about 640 pounds per 1000 feet. Thats a big mass change. It doesn't really fit but a 0000 can carry about 223 amps you could scale that back to a like an #18 gauge wire (which weighs about 5 pounds per 1000 feet) and carry the same amps. But as I said not enough detail, the point is the prize is huge I squared R is a huge isse for a global power system. I hope it works.

Desperation breeds loud noises.... Apply Ricoh and Grandma who gave the kid hacker his pc, mom who cleans his screen, dad who provides money for electricity, little sister who watches him do it are all guilty and go to the big house with the hacker. Let's fit the crime to the legal action. A hacker who cracks into banks and steals money, yep send him away. A hacker that makes Microsoft work harder, say bad boy. In one sense, I know it is a stretch, the latter hacker keeps the code makers sharp, identifies weaknesses that the Chinese seem to want to exploit, etc. It's an extreme stretch but if there never was a hacker, then someone who is our enemy figures out, hey we can hack them to death, fill in the rest. I guess bottom line is one line statements create extremeist positions that don't work in real life. But wait if he changes the statement to telephone marketers I could go along with that one.
