Are you pushing your own short comings on us and safely hating them from a distance?
Is this the virtue of faith? To never change your mind: especially when you should?
Young Earth Creationists take offense at the idea that we have a common heritage with other animals. Why is being the descendant of a mud golem any better?

Re: The Bloom Box
I saw that 60 minutes segment, johnson (it's my fav. show, after all). It was pretty cool that this one maverick is set to take on the big energy conglomerates with Bloom Boxes that will reduce everyone's reliance on the grid and save a bunch of energy. I don't understand the science, but I gather that the thousands of cells that make up a box are a super-efficient engine for using a power source. It's not that the box itself produces energy without this assist.

Re: The Bloom Box
I read that on Cnet yesterday, sounds interesting. Wonder if they'll go public, IPO.

Re: The Bloom Box
Thorium, rather than plutonium nuclear power plants.
Watch it. It's good stuff!

Re: Powering the future
Powering the Future is a four-part television event forecasting the world of energy in the not-too-distant future. We address the Earth's energy challenge from every angle, and cut through the noise by establishing a simple target: a clean, limitless, and secure energy supply by the middle of this century. Powering the Future puts energy on the national stage with programming that builds to the inescapable logic: we must act.
