  1. Somebody who goes to these sites tell me.. on Connecticut Wants to Restrict Social Networking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Aside from the general control agenda they have with the internet, from the socioforming
    perspective I wonder why they are moving against these social networking sites. I always
    went with the theory that these sites actually immobilize people socially with surrogate
    chatroom buddies they will never meet in real life. Could it be that these sites actually
    cause people to meet up face to face in real life? (That would explain their upset).

    Fuel cells are probably right now the way to go if you need electrical energy
    kinetic energy needed in cars etc. would probably best be come by through
    combustion. There are btw already cars that run on gas. Oh and likewise there
    are all sorts of fuel cells even ones that run on alcohols like ethanol or
    methanol.

    The sun delivers about a kilowatt of photons to a square meter in the Sahara
    and solar panels get you about 15% of that in eletrical power, make that 150W
    per square meter. a 1000 square km panel would get us ~ 32 x 32 x 1000 x 1000 x 150W ~=
    150 GW of power but since the sun isn't up all day and a lot of power is lost
    by transmission and for all sorts of practical reasons we would wind up with
    an average of maybe 30 GW of power. A modern nuclear plant gets you an in comparison
    constant .5 to 2 GW meaning this solar array would merely be the equivalent of
    15 modern nuclear power plants. And then this is where common sense kicks in and we
    need to ask how much those 15 nuclear facilities are going to cost us and what the
    cost is to keep them up and running compared to the 1000 sq Km solar panel. Those solar panels
    and the infrastructure to go with it will need to be constantly cleaned, maintained and
    replaced so this is not going to come cheap.

    So the thing we need to look would be how to get that "free" kilowatt of power per square meter
    to the consumer in a viable way and that is right now left to "rogue" research because you will
    certainly not receive any funding for something that upsets any of the control monopolies.

    Oh and btw, antimatter is not a clean power source, in fact I suppose it would be the unsafest
    form of energy storage imaginable. Antimatter reverts back into energy when matter meets
    antimatter and most of it is in the form of gamma rays and possibly some particles that
