Lunar Power

An Anonymous Coward cites this article on ABC News, excerpting: "...the world would have access to a limitless power supply. The moon receives 13,000 terrawatts of power from the sun. Harnessing 1 percent of that energy, he calculates, could replace all fossil fuel power plants on Earth."

ABC AND Slashdot get taken in

ABC.com and Slashdot both put up a story from a wacko. News at 11.

C'mon editors. My cat could have figured out a better power scheme than this. Even the Hydrogren that is 20KM under the surface of the earth would be cheaper. New national level building codes where we force all new buildings to have solar panel roof tiles and solar colleting windows would be easier to pass by congress. Also, quite frankly, the guys that are still hacking away at cold fusion probably have a better chance of getting it all to work.

Damn I wish this was K5 so I could vote to dump this article.
