Do I have to remind you again that Obama is our President? His decisions have major efforts on government policy and on the direction of our nation.

IMHO, Obama's failure to lead on peak oil is stupid and a major mistake.

Yeah, that's why I didn't vote for your Drill Baby Driller, Palin.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', '

And who do you see in 2012 that would "lead on peak oil"? Palin? Romney? Huckabee? Gingrich? Ron Paul? None of them believe in peak oil, and if they did, they'd just lead the charge to CTL, ANWR, Bakken, and OCS.

Give me a candidate, Planty, give me someone to contrast to Obama. Then maybe we'll have a debate here. But PINING AWAY FOR A SAVIOR is childish.

And where is the groundswell from the electorate to tackle peak-oil maturely? There is none. Why should a politician lead the charge when nobody gives a damn other than using whatever means are necessary to keep prices cheap at the pump (anything short of starting WWIII in resource wars)?

Why are you expecting something that has no foundation upon which to spring?

Yes.....there is that concern.

And one would have to assume that Bill Gates plans to run these underground nukes on Windows.

Maybe by the time these nukes are actually in production, Apple will have taken over Microsoft and helped the folks in Redmond produce some better software.

Bill Gates on the World’s Energy Crisis

Postby Carlhole » Thu 07 Jul 2011, 18:53:22

Wired

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')ill Gates, head of charity, is every bit as brilliant and hyperrational as Bill Gates, head of Microsoft, ever was. The cochair of the world’s biggest foundation can hold forth on the impact of polio in India, the challenges of fixing American high schools, and the necessity of distributing better seeds to small farms in Africa. But he really gets amped up about the future of energy. “If you gave me the choice between picking the next 10 presidents or ensuring that energy is environmentally friendly and a quarter as costly, I’d pick the energy thing,” he told the audience at the Wired Business Conference in May. Gates fielded questions from Wired editor in chief Chris Anderson (and some audience members), geeking out on energy technology, policy, and economics. In these highlights from the hourlong session, Gates argues that nuclear power is still safer than all other energy options, rich countries aren’t spending enough on R&D, and installing solar panels on your roof is not helping to reduce CO2 emissions. It’s merely “cute.”


Gates is funding TerraPower, one of the small-mod nuclear start-ups.

Especially when you have Clippy, the Nuclear Assistant to advise you.

Leave it to Bill Gates to screw up a coal power plant company. :roll:

I'm sure he was't much involved with it, but still, it's just funny. It's like Microsoft with their decades-old OS monopoly and piles of cash from that, but they can't figure out how to do anything new and get it right.

Xbox was one of their few successes.

It's really a good lesson about monopolies. Microsoft is like Ma Bell. And yes, I'm a PC guy but it's true. :lol:
