Great speech

[ponlur]

she is very goofy!

BP backround does seem iffy, but he sounds reasonable and actually strongly advocates the one source his company will NOT be able to touch (nuclear) while his company has billion dollar investments in for an example solar. So I think he might be quite legit actually.

Now he is Assistant Secretary and Chief Energy Scientist for DOE.. Beware the prophet that stands to profit .

Does anyone find an ethical dilemma when a energy company like BP employs a distinguished pitch man, like Steve Koonin, to go around selling the dire energy situation the world faces? Koonin gives "credibility" to the story , and people buy it. People take his forecasts as gospel or some variation of truth because of his credentials. BP reaps the rewards.

this is a fucking joke I'm sorry , if academia took notice of scalar field theory and magnetic generator over-unity effects , the world's energy solutions would be solved indefinitely. Take fucking notice and do the world a favor. Tesla shouldn't be known for just his AC generator

Very interesting if a little bleak. The last comment about this being much the same set of data we were all looking at 30 years ago rang very true. Time to start working out how to grow food in Antartica.
