Any electronic clock (or mechanical clock) is a potential bomb trigger be it a cell phone or wrist watch. The only thing that makes it a bomb is explosives. From the picture nothing even remotely looked like it could be explosive. It is just circuit boards and wires. The only person that acted appropriately was the teacher that took it away and shoved it in a desk (he was being disruptive with it).

What no push for teacher education? If there is nothing that looks like explosives there is no reason to think its a bomb. Of course this might make teachers look stupid and Obama doesn't want to offend the teachers union.

Looks like some idiot an Gizmag was talked into doing an article by some hair brained inventor again. Neither party understands physics so they both think its great. As mentioned a few times here by others before me that firing a bullet into another ball isn't going to increase its knock down power (Conservation of momentum). The stupidity from there grows by training a law enforcement officer to use the gun as a first resort instead of a last one. Also for when lethal force is called for it means that the officer will have one less effective bullet and their follow up shots will be done with them dealing with the recoil from their first useless shot. Bad idea all around!

Its not that its achievable its whether its feasible or reasonable.(which it isn't)

you can use the mercury vapor cycle or even a boiling sodium vapor cycle with a turbine. Both have a thermal efficiency advantage over steam cycle. Further more you can use either of those cycles in combination with a steam cycle thus creating a binary cycle that has a thermal efficiency above 50%.

It will take a president with balls! One who will go back to the policy of "Mess with us and we will nuke your ass!". Then there won't be a need for surveillance.

Nuclear reactors don't need water. You can build liquid metal cooled reactors. Metallic sodium is one such metal used.

LOL! So the real question is why mdsolar is targeting the nuclear industry. :)

How about just changing state laws to eliminate the state income tax and replace it with a sales tax instead?

The nuclear power industry doesn't target anything. Nuclear power is a technology. It has advantages. It has disadvantages. The nuclear industry competes with all other types. It competes with wind and solar in that it doesn't emit green house gases. One of its main advantages is it doesn't fluctuate on external conditions. This is an area where wind and solar can't compete. Because of this wind and solar proponents claim they are being targeted.

Just using the internet gathers intel for them

Glad their laws won't apply to me or if they do its going to be funny to see them try to enforce them.

If you can't pronounce his name you can't say he is doing a bad job
