Are you really going to deny that oil companies won't fund research to give the answer they want? Really? That would be pretty dumb.
Yes, you are right, it would be.
Are you going to deny that climate 'scientists' are motivated by grant money? That would be dumb, too.
Relax, people. There's no U.N resolution here
When was the last time a UN resolution made a difference in the world?
Okay, let's say you're correct and that the Russian space program is a sham with overly inflated goals.
I don't think he said that, I think he said one particular part of the Russian space program is like that.
Which is a lot like the US space program.
Nothing but war and pestilence will cause change. Nothing else ever has.
And Occupy Wall Street. We changed the world.
Old stuff. Pebble bed reactors have their own problems.
There is no power supply that doesn't have problems.
, like the rest of the world, oops: the rest of Europe, Asia and Africa.
that's.....basically you showing you know nothing about the topic. How many new nuclear plants is China building? Do you know? Your comment shows you don't.
A lesser known situation is if you actually create an energy surplus, food costs, logistic costs, and transportation costs get cheaper. So if we ramped our energy production up by 2-8x what we got now, people could charge their hybrid car at home for even less than they do now. I think this dream is often grouped up with a superconductor power grid idea which is unrealistic for the short term. I think for a better world, we should be aiming to create energy surpluses.
The more cheap energy you can get, the more cool stuff we can do.
Doubt isn't the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith. - Paul Tillich, German theologian and historian
