About the quote, shows you how little things change, doesn't it. I need to dig up another one, about America's global reach and American culture. It's over a 100 years old. Damn what did it say...... :perplexed;

            So far, several people have got this to work. The problem has been the cost so I hope they have managed to sort that out. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

              This is cool. They say it won't handle nuclear waste... but if it can generate sources of energy, we may not need to use nuclear energy. I want one in my front yard, so I can do something with all of the trash and cigarettes drivers throw in my yard. X| :cool: If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

                That is super cool! I wonder why they didn't mention that it would be ideal to install it in place of much of a modern day landfill site?

                  ...has invested far too much money and intellectual, social and political capital in the obtaining, refining, marketing and distribution of oil to give it up easily. They will fight any new technology until the last drop of oil is sucked from the ground. They have the money, the new technologies do not. Do we think start ups like Changing World can take on the likes of BP, Shell and Texol who have so much sway that they can start wars and destroy whole countries? One day, yes, but only through absolute need will we change and then only in the last dying fumes of the last dying oil well. :) Cheerful huh?
