I think that might be true of launch loops? The cable has incredible kinetic energy, but it is magnetically suspended in a vacuum tube, so its power loss could be low.

The criticism is that they similarly oppose subsidies to oil competitors (such as electric cars). And more significantly, regulation or taxes on CO2.

One needs look no further than Cato's full-throated endorsement of oil subsidies[2]. [2] clearly does not endorse subsidizing oil.

To answer your question in the dead thread about the cold fusion scam: Ni-64 (n,g) Ni-65 (e-,) Cu-65 is physical, and Cu-65 has a greater binding energy than Ni-64: http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/chart/reCenter.jsp?z=28&n=36 (look at Δ(MeV),

There's no point in reading the paper, it has near-zero information value. All it contains is as an assertion by the authors that the electric resistance heater (nice photo attached) emits more heat than it draws from the electric outlet it

"From an electrical engineering standpoint, that makes no sense. Thermal runaway starts when too much power is being drawn from the batteries and they begin to overheat until exploding or melting, their promixity to each other may limit th

or the thermal gradients are perfect for running turbines They're completely useless, actually: they're in insulating rock with no ability to conduct away heat. As soon you try to exploit a temperature gradient, you destroy it.

There's no biology on Mercury either, so whatever system you use there, would work as well or better underwater.

I think the article's numbers are wrong. BMW reports Q1 2013 global sales of 7 series as 12,390, not 2,338. http://www.bmwgroup.com/e/0_0_www_bmwgroup_com/investor_rela... Sales of the BMW1 Series totalled 53,906 units, almost equalling

In that case (owners raising prices), who would want this? To renters it has the character of investment: pay more money today, for a possible payout in the future. I don't think typical renters want this. They're renting in part because th

Maybe you could securitize the value of the tenant's rent control, entitling an exiting tenant to a windfall if they are replaced by a higher-rent paying replacement? Can you clarify how this is different from simply prohibiting rental, f

That doesn't make sense. Other cars have resale value too, so how is this a comparative advantage? Why are they subtracting this off? Google suggests the "average" car actually has higher resale value, at the same age/mileage, than what T
