You seem to counter your own arguments... You say that the problem with electricity is the storage. Have you ever tried to store a scum pond? Seriously....
And how would you capture the gasses from this wondrous self-maintaining scum pond? Hydrogen rises very quickly, so you'd have to enclose the scum pond, add venting, ensure that no superior rival algae appear and replace this GM algae, make sure there aren't many algae-eating animals or microorganisms to reduce efficiency...
If I want cheap hydrogen for my new hydrogen car, I'll buy myself a solar panel and stick two wires in a beaker of water, and attatch it to a compressor and a tank system.
What, wait? Solar panels too expensive? I'll just then hook up my handy dandy gas generator instead! Wait... duh...
I think I'll stick to using unleaded gasoline for my car, at least for a few more decades.
Normally I don't like to scream "troll" when I see things I don't like, but I just recognised this post as being a cut and paste from another discussion on CPU's.
I can't cry plagarism, because it may be the same A/C who wrote the first one. And I can't seem to be able to pull up the old article.
Baseless as my claim is, my memory is still pretty good. Does anyone else remember this post, or should I lay off the mushrooms??
I'm not sure about Russia, but I know a lot of post USSR companies inherited a lot of the old laws... Such as sending/recieving ANYTHING encrypted across the border being a federal offense with harsh penalties. I know this is the case in Ukraine, and I think it is still also the case in Russia. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
A very well put and incisive posting will be nearly indistinguishable from flamebait, as it will greatly arouse the feelings of people who insist that people see it their way.
Anyhow, enough commentary on the moderation system, here's my point!
If everyone sent their opinions to congress, it would be a dull roar, with very little way to efficently sift through the noice. Hence 1GB inboxes generally get deleted. Congressmen don't want to know individual opinions of their constituents, its not their jobs. They want to know the aggregate opinion and desire, and e-mail is not a very effective way to express that. IMHO, far less effective than your average Slashdot Opinion Poll.
The whole point of political parties is to AGGREGATE and ARTICULATE the opinions of the electorate. There is nothing about e-mail that makes it easy or convenient to aggregate. Its time for your slashdot hackers to figure out a new internet protocol that works better with democoracy.

How can an accelerator worry about anything?
yeah
