- I notice that you say "The physicists" and "they ARROGANTLY..."
- which seems to suggest that you're not a physicist
- but above when you gave your name you said that you were a
- physicist? Why? I wonder.

- Now this is just ridiculous, the energy industry spends huge
- amounts of money scrubbing sulfur compounds out of their
- exhaust products and would virtually kill to get a clean source
- of energy. Let's assume you are right and these magic sources
- work and they have these qualities.
-
- 1. nearly limitless supply
- 2. this supply is effectively free (in terms of cost)
- 3. non-polluting
- 4. safe to humans and the environment
-
- The only vested interest the utilities have is to their past investment of
- money in their power plants. But the above advantages reduce operating costs
- SO much that they would jump at it. (imagine an electric plant that doesn't
- need to buy any coal, has virtually no cost related to safety equipment, spends
- nothing on environmental technology, and still charges what it used to)==profit!
