It's their new tactict to take over the world. First let governments look at their source, then once they use the source in something sue them. They are probably also hoping they will use the source in Open Source projects so they can get rid of them, the old kill two birds with one stone...

I read To Kill a Mockingbird in 10th grade which was only three years ago, so atleast some people still read books like that in highschool. As a senior I also read books like lemort de arthur and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
the book isn't about the elevators it plays a role in the first book there are 3 more after that though they do have elevators in them they are very good books with alot of science in them even though they are science fiction i looked into them and at the time most of it was based on fact
alot of science FICTION has proven to be facts plus what else do you propose to connect a cable that long to? it would have to have enough mass to hold the cable and connecting the cable would also be very complicated... also about power there was a nasa mission where they strung a cable out from the space shuttle and it collected so much energy that it arked into the shuttle causing some minor damage
if anybody has read the mars series by kim stanley robinson in his book they created the end out of an astroid which was also cannibalized to make the cable the problem with it was that during a revolution the astroid was detached by explosives and went on a trip around the sun with people in it then the cable started to fall which ended up wrapping around mars like 1.5 times and did major damage to the planet and killed thousands... "and they want to do this on earth?"
