why did they do the CCDs first? Over the course of the next year those are the things most likely to improve from advancing technology..
Like building a hybrid car by starting with lead acid batteries and taking decades to build the chassis.. By that time Lithium Ions would be out. etc.
Seems to me that a good copper wire and high voltage AC would be far more efficient and at a high enough voltage the wires could be very thin and still deliver loads of power..
Instead of converting electricity to light and back again, just keep it electric.
But if we use breeder reactors that burn the plutonium then the only place at risk is the plant itself.. It's our backasswards old plants that are the problem, not modern nuclear plants.
It's like arguing against modern hybrid or electric cars because ones built in the 70's were gas hogs.
wish I had mod points..

efficiency doesn't matter to me at all. Price / watt does
I don't care if they are 100% efficient if they cost $20billion / watt.
But show me one that is cheap enough to afford to cover my roof with that the end total wattage is enough to cover something close to my power use (or more) and I'll do it.
The % efficiency make absolutely no difference to me at all, zip, zero, nada. DON"T CARE!
can't wait till people realize this is just opt in spam and go ahead an start opting out of it.
I tried it for a bit, it was the most annoying thing imaginable.
Of course it will outrun any human, it's Cheetahing.
It's better that you give up a few freedoms in the name of security so that you can get what you deserve..
no. vote for anyone other than those two parties.
Till we actually throw the bums out they will continue to be the bumholes they are.
Vote libertarian, green, independent, heck communist if you must. Just get everyone to NEVER AGAIN vote for a Rep or Dem and perhaps we can change things.
No the problem with Fiat Currency is that Fiats are made in Italy and are quite small vehicles, so we are limiting our capacities..

Seems like so many people are only able to handle what they have been preprogrammed for.

Bah, Fringe might not be science, but it is entertaining, and I am sorry it doesn't fit in your preconceived box of what TV must be.
The whole WikiLeaks thing has shown that the secret papers of the US government were not properly secured. And had this information gone to someone other than WikiLeaks (like the Taliban or some foreign government that views us as the enemy) instead of a publicity scandal we would just have people dieing without knowing why.. In fact with how porous the setup was I am sure this WAS happening. But now the Govt is forced to fix that issue (without forcing them they would not have changed, just try to change any government's mind about anything) and we the people are learning some uncomfortable truths that we do need to know.
It happened because we weren't ready to burn the town over it.
If we made it a political issue that politicians must take a stand on something might have been done. (vote this way, or we won't vote for you next time)
Obviously our next move is to burn the town.
