Thorium changes things...

[wepollock]

@artdeco101010 "Thorium" = "Brawndo's got what plants crave. They crave Brawndo. It's got electrolytes." Thorium was used in Indian Point Nuclear Plant I in the early days of nuclear energy with marginal results; now several countries are revisiting its use as a fuel. The internet would have you believe that Thorium is a total solution set.. based on some unorganized snippets that people hold onto with religious furor.

@wepollock - That was great movie, very truthful about the direction of things. I was just trying to say that it's the only non-fossil fuel that has a chance at meeting the quantitative needs of the world. Indian Point is not a fluid fuel reactor, it's marginal results are the product of its inherently inefficient design.

[wepollock]

@artdeco101010 metallic fuel might certainly be useful. Perhaps the solution resides in comprehensive anticipatory design science.. For instance fuel cells might be able to get 95% efficiency from natural gas...

Well done Warren

Brilliant! Simply Brilliant! Great job once again!

If there are 2.5 billion workers on the Earth, and only 500 million jobs, then it is a governemnt's duty to secure as many of those jobs as possible for its citizens-NOT outscource them to 3rd world countries filled with cheap labor. If India wants to have loads of children, it is not America's responsibilty to employ and feed them. Protectionism is needed to save our jobs. Immigration must be tightly controlled. No more 1HB visas. I do not wish to see America turned into an Indian slum.

I really enjoyed that interview. very thought provoking.

[wepollock]

@freedomlover4422 very complex question.. people need to be creative and much of the legislation today blocks initiative and new ideas especially in housing.

[drkevincampbell]

Nice Warren. Glad to see you moving into other media outlets these last few weeks. Next stop CNN.

[joel1923]

@wepollock I have to agree. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard of The Telegraph newspaper (UK) pushed Thorium hard last year. I had some hope, but a lot of doubts about it. Now I have little hope for it.

Excellent comment Warren, Cheers!

with out their interventions for example there would be an ever growing number of kinds of fruits and vegetables and instead of all those useless but nevertheless beautiful decoration trees and bushes that you find in our cities and villages, instead most will carry good stuff to eat and you are done with the main concern of hunger. but much deeper than that i want to propose an intellectual experiment. lets say money changers never came into being, how in what ways then would we evolve ?

[opensala]

this is an occurring continuation to observation about the role of money. imagine before money existed you used to go pick freely of all that is in such abundance on earth, until one day while picking those growers stopped you and chased you with knives until you paid with money coins. then they also sent you to work to get the money.

if you want to reverse all that so that all this abundance is free again, you must thoroughly investigate how the world would evolve without their intervention.
