OT -- supporting big oil companies like he has in the past is not the right policy
I agree, but this has never been about what is ethically right. It is about money. The new sources of energy on the horizon, including fuel cells, hot fusion, and eventually (hopefully) cold fusion, will serve to significantly erode the profits of the energy companies, which of course have BIG political clout.
I believe new energy will slowly emerge in a way that is similar to how Intel, for example, releases product upgrades; Painstakingly slow. They could leap ahead now, to a far faster processor, but why do they want to do that? If they go from a 2.0 GHZ processor to, say, a 5.0 GHZ processor, they will have missed the profits they could have made by releasing 2.33 GHZ, 2.5 GHZ, 2.67 GHZ, 3.0 GHZ, et cetera processors along the way. It is a pretty transparent operation. They squeeze as much water from every sponge as they can, before getting a bigger sponge to dip back into the water.
Think "MONEY," and like LG says, "think like a criminal," and you will have the right idea.
Incidentally, a lot of smart minds out there in many countries are disclosing evidence of cold fusion which achieves over-unity, but somehow, a working product never seems to make it to the patent office. Now, either they are scam artists, or something else is at work here. Cold fusion has a deep, cult following. Pons and Fleischman aren't being laughed at as loudly as they once were.
