I think you are refering to Aquion Energy. The company sputtered and was sold to a Chinese equity firm. The product looks like it is dead in the water but, it still was a great idea. The intention was to use the cheapest, safest, and most a

I am normally for privatization. There are so many ways USPS could bolster their infrastructure to grow. Reduce the bureaucracy and improve efficiency. Being said. USPS offers a secure and power agnostic means of communication. I don't

Have you considered an apprenticeship? I'm sure it isn't ideal for someone who seems to have a lot of drive and probably is use to handling every detail. But, if you can get a recent grad or promising young family-member/frie

Completely Agree. Rising to power requires one to rise within a system designed and molded by those whom preceded them. And, more than likely, that system becomes inherently bias towards the types of people that have risen to that power. Th

There has been Chinese money backing lucid motors since their early stages. I've seen several articles over the past few years. Seemingly, they are working with a Chinese bus company as well... https://www.theverge.com/

Subjective: I think voting for our financial incentive has been obfuscated by the recent "authoritarian" vs "socialism" platform the Republican and Democrat have been pushing. We can't vote for what makes sense beca

As I inferred with sarcasm, this divergence from vertical to horizontal growth could effectively lead to oligopolies in the major markets(the few where they don't exist). I believe in the competitive market model up until economies of

Horizontal acquisition extends around the definition of monopoly. I'm not against Amazon. I don't think they should be stopped from expanding... yet. If the other conglomerates copy amazon then the possibility of a corporate dysto

I think there are a lot of people, like myself, who see that the path to responsible power generation includes nuclear power. I'm all for solar and wind although, I don't see the current manufacturing, logistics, and economic envi

This is one of the issues with solar power that gets overlooked. The physical 'stuff' needed to build a large solar farm is far more than a base nuclear plant. After a quick search: Solar Panels Lifespan - ~25 years - Good Grid Ba

Nuclear power offers large scale production with a reduced physical footprint. For instance, New York city would be more suited to the physical logistics of a nuclear power plant. The availability of light(winter months) and land area doesn

I agree that there is a financial incentive in the funeral industry. But... In general, humanity has buried and burned people with expensive objects to show reverence or recognize status. The Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, etc. It's kind o

The economics of building nuclear power plants is directly affected by the availability of tooling and volume of the production. The reduced number of new plants has resulted in increased costs for the parts required to build a plant. If we
