That’s a straw argument…..there’s a looooooooooooooooong way between being a snarky naysayer and being ready to invest heavily in something.
I’m in that wide chasm. Every single big idea and significant development in the history of time was criticized by the gutless nay sayers in the beginning…..it takes no brain or no creativity to do so. And it’s gutless, because once something is big, no one goes around to make fun of the naysayers…..
I refuse to pile on. As for this particular big idea, I’ve not enough technical knowledge to pass judgment…...
Unknown but real logic is almost as rare as cold fusion generators.
So, in your mind, sitting on the fence with your finger in the air is less gutless than “naysaying”?
Whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess.
Great when someone open sources the blueprints and specs, just throw into a 3D printer and we all live happily ever after. /S
Every prepper will want one of these, it also could be very useful in the coming revolution. /S
And have the love of women and the respect of men! Yipppeeeee!
“It will still kill fewer birds than a 1 megawatt windmill.”
But it will devour your nest eggs.
Taking “preorders” means nothing.
“early 2014” for sure.
That’s an absurdly and profoundly stupid non sequitur of an argument….from a reliable source - that is so logically flawed that it’s impossible to craft a response that is both appropriate to intellectual decency and can also be understood by you.
Um, that would be in a week...
We’ll see.
If true ....
The wide spread use of cold fusion as an electrical power source has some very interesting side effects.
First, it could cripple the Islamic Terrorists groups now being funded by recycled petro-dollars from the US and Europe. No money no war. Let that area of the world go back to selling sand to each other.
Second, it would cripple to destroy the massive redistribution of wealth called climate change. Drastically reduce the carbon footprint of electrical production and what would the environmentalists do?
Finally, since it would be much easier to install this new technology that the old, petro-based, power generation systems the push to solve international income inequality (an other massive money transfer for no reason or improvement) could be greatly reduced. This assumes that the real cause of international income inequality, the local dictator, excuse me - President for Life - allows it.
For those Freepers who lost power to the annual (monthly?) winter ice storms image the secondary effects.
Oh, well, it is one of the better dreams as these dreams go.
If you like your old electric power sources can you keep it?
We don’t hold it against you and you’re welcome to comment further, thanks.
Yes but no, probably but not likely, possibly but out of the question. Remember...you were warned.
I’d like to add the optional perpetual motion machine, please!
Translation: He's got his finger in the air AND his head up his arse.
Yes I was warned, but did you mean it or was it just a precaution? Should I order now or wait until they set-up State exchanges?
Throw in the veggie slicer and you got a deal!
You are confusing units of measure.
If, and it is a big if, this can make a megawatt of high quality heat, you could convert it to electricity losing about 60 % to waste heat which may or may not have a value. So figure 400 watt hours x 24 hours a day or about 10 megawatt hours per day. Using your figure of $100/ MWh, that’s about $1000 per day.
Figure double the investment to include plumbing, turbine and generator, that’s about $3,000,000. At a thousand bucks per day, ROI is less than a year.
If this thing worked, it would be cheaper than coal fired, that is why it would be a very bid deal.
