OOO, what are these 'other' things you say physicists are working on? (seriously!) JT

I've been pondering, are projects like CERN/LHC wastes of money that would be better spent, IMO, on developing new/alternative energy sources? I'm thinking mainly of fusion. If we funneled all the money we now spend on particle accelerators like LHC and whatnot and focused those funds like a laser beam on developing fusion, couldn't we achieve progress faster? I'm not saying those experiments should never be done, and I as well as anyone am waiting for LHC to be turned on (hoping it doesn't blow us up lol ), but given the current energy crisis (and don't get me started, that would be a whole other thread and probably be in that new political forum), wouldn't the money for these projects be better spent on developing fusion? Thanks JT

And what about the bit on the FOUNDER of Greenpeace? Quoted for truth

"Other", because of the likes of Al Gore and his stupid little schemes(i.e., "carbon offset" bonds and banning incandescent lights), and his hypocrisy. Also, when you say: That's degrading to those that disagree; it's sort of saying that if you don't agree you're not a scientific thinker, etc etc ad hominem.

Exactly. Seems like it would be a lot easier to get at and is very renewable; I think some bacteria produce it.

Does Methane hold any value as a viable alternative fuel? Seems like it would be simple enough to make it into fuel, except that I don't know how efficient it is compared to gas, and it seems rather volatile; somewhere between hydrogen and gasoline, correct?

It's just another attempt IMO by the old Communists (now Greenfreaks) at controlling people. No way would I ever support this being mandated. Come on people, can't anyone see the makings of a police state in this(carbon offset scandal)??

What about computer graphics? I think that field would be vastly affected by quantum computers.

Well you know; And if you want to be picky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies%2C_damned_lies%2C_and_statistics Glad you're all enjoying my thread

You guys must be professional thread hijackers

LOL!!! Hmm, I haven't had any dreams in a while...

Well at least it seems we're all willing to discuss it

EDIT: Stupid Google; or the links get broken when it updates or something... Anyway, here's two new links you should be able to find it at: The Great Global Warming Swindle (Search List, look for ones that are an hour or more) The Great Global Warming Swindle(Video) The Great Global Warming Swindle(YouTube Video)

Just thought you might be interested in seeing this, whatever your view is The Great Global Warming Swindle Although I'm sure most of your minds are made up already. Oh well
