all those cost serveral times what conventional electricity costs and the odds of making the costs comparable to coventional methods is slim. To come back to the start of the thread: we're getting there... Not really. With heroic effort we've managed to get the cost of "alternate" sources of electricity down to 2 to 4 times what conventional electricity costs, with the best costs being in the limited areas where the alernates are optimized, for example solar power in very sunny locations. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Gig,
So now you are not only a knee-jerk European America hater Jeeze, guys, I thought you came from the land of the free and all. Can't we have an interesting discussion about this without throwing personal insults? Kind of degrades your arguments if you start doing that as soon as someone ventures a different opinion. You don't remotely know me enough to be able to make that statement above. And it's a typical knee-jerk ugly American redneck reaction of you, too ;-) ...the Interior Ministry said on Monday. Gee, I guess that's a truly objective and trustworthy source who would have nothing to gain from coming to that conclusion, right? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Gig,
Yes, in fact, history has proven they are. Oh? Let's see: a) number of nukes dropped by nuclear-armed, (considered by some to be) radical christian states b) number of nukes dropped by nuclear-armed, (considered by others to be) radical islamic states This is fun! -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Kontiki,
If the US is so bad and Islamic countries are so great why haven't you moved to Iran already? Show me where I said anything remotely like that. Just one post. You know, I come from the country where your line of argument was invented. We had two halves of our country - and the slightest criticism in the Western half could easily provoke certain people to suggest moving to the Eastern half in the way you did. I hate to say it, but those certain people were the really dumb ones. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Yep, nuclear-armed, radical christian states are much better. Yes, in fact, history has proven they are. Actually, history has proven the opposite, but the present situation is certainly better. I've spent a lot of time in an islamic area nd they're even more pig-headed and ignorant, by and large, than the christian right, but only marginally so. If either side gets it's way, we're heading for a new dark age of superstition and ignorance. Ones as bad as the other and it's only when an occasional spurt of intelligence comes by that the seemingly compelling slide into stupidity is reversed. Hopefully the US's little foray into the darkness will at least be slowed next year when the chimp is gone. Bertie |

Wow, some of you guys really need to learn how to argue. I've gor a moldy turnip in the pantry that could put up a better one than that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignoratio_elenchi Scroll down and look at the links that Wiki has for some other fallacious arguments. It's considerably easier to assert a position when you have at least a few of these at your fingertips. When you spot someone uing one you can call him names! Great fun, Asshole. bertie |

One word: China More words: It's 1907 and Europe doesn't quite have a handle on the scope of what's happening in the (industrial) U.S. It's 2007 and the U.S. doesn't quite have a handle on the scope of what's happening in (industrial) China. Montblack Ohhh you're right. China. Then there's no hope. The US should just give up. We can't win cuz China's just too big. They're gonna win, its no use. Lets just raise taxes and give up... hell, we may as well just sell the United States to them, its all over. Good grief. Bertie |
