What.. me worry? I'm gonna just sit back and let Algore invent
the solution for controlling the climate of the earth.

Converting a mass into energy is almost trivial.


The energy equivalent of a 190-lb man (about 4.7 trillion kilowatt-hours) is
roughly equal to the entire annual power output of Hoover Dam for the next
1200 years, or more than a quarter-million Hiroshima-sized nuclear bombs.
That's not exactly trivial.

I don't think energy will be a problem in the future. I'm sure packet
sized reactors will be common. Converting a mass into energy is almost
trivial. The challenge is in reassembling everything, not just exactly
as its suppose to be but quick enough that it stabalizes. You don't
want 1/2 a cell sitting around for 1/2 a second.


Isn't that why an annular confinement beam is needed?

What's really funny is that our local newspaper ran an article this
morning, trumpeting how the Nobel Prize has legitimized Gore when, in
fact, it is Gore who has de-legitimized the Nobel Prize...

I'm just amazed how this whole thing has snowballed into a "global
emergency" that can only be fixed (surprise!) by people who stand to
make billions. As P.T. Barnum once noted, there really *is* one (more
like 1000) born every minute.

And I once read a corollary that said something like "There's a shyster
born every hour who can handle 60 suckers/fools." I'll leave it to you
to decide which one is Al Gore. :-)

Nah, what's really funny is that at the same time the British courts,
in a case involving schools showing his movie to students, have found
it less than truthful and not very scientific.

"Global Warming" is so passé...the new term is "Climate Change" (nothing
nebulous about that, is there?, though that might be a significant clue)
