All of those big government scientists should be de-funded. Especially all the hot fusion scientists -- every last one! Unfortunately, the Tea Party has been corrupted by liberal leaning individuals who want to keep spending tax dollars unconstitutionally, on projects the government has no business being involved in. If we really wanted scientific progress to accelerate in the energy field, we would reduce govt by eliminating subsidies to all energy producers, including big oil.
With a true free market (not croney capitalism that bailsout banks and automakers) alternative energy technologies would thrive. I'm looking forward to when the R evol UTION wins the White House, and cuts a trillion dollars in ONE YEAR. The only aspect of the govt that in my opinion is constitutionally authorized to research cold fusion or hydrogen technology is the military, as part of a national defense (not a national offense). ________________________________ From: "Roarty, Francis X" <francis.x.roa...@lmco.com> To: "vortex-l@eskimo.com" <vortex-l@eskimo.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 3, 2012 3:38 PM Subject: [Vo]:Government Scientists More Efficient at Splitting Hydrogen Jan 2 Article on Cleantechnica http://cleantechnica.com/2012/01/02/government-scientists-more-efficient-at-splitting-hydrogen/ Looks like Argonne scientists are keeping up with Ni-H [snip] The new catalyst combination drove the reaction at ten times the previous rate, saving both energy and money. Chalk one up for those “Big Government” scientists – who this year escaped narrowly escaped defunding by the Tea Party/GOP. [/snip] Fran
