Dell Laptop Explodes At Japanese Conference (ka-BOOM caught on film)

Yes, there is an unholy ENRON-type alliance between big oil and eco-flakes to throttle energy supplies. Less CxHx = more profits(supply/demand curve)and less energy used = less pollution. Since Charles Vest of MIT is GWB's science advisor this nanotech discovery has the good-old-boy backing it will need. And yet if it costs as much as Lithium batteries, forget it, nobody but the rich will buy it. Another smothered discovery : Deborah Chung's room temperature superconductor. It converts ambient heat to coherent DC all on its own. See cheniere.org for that particular example of what you're talking about.
You didn't look up blacklightpower.com did you...can these guys get 5000 WH/# as Dr Mills claims?
YOU are the one who first told me about this! Since you mentioned the name, Deborah Chung is exactly who I had in mind.
Beg your pardon?
The point I was making was political in nature, that there are powerful interests at work which could be threatened by a super efficient, high output-to-weight ratio energy source.
In a truly free market, pure as the wind-driven snow, yes. However I think you're being naive to the political realities. The only way something will bypass that is incrementally.
I am not sure who to believe about those numbers. A few weeks back, before Alberto fizzled out and almost caused a panic, one of the news stations talked about what they said was the second most devastating hurricane to ever hit Florida, sometime in the twenties. Before they had hurricane names or numbers(They figure it was a cat 4), they said it caused 25 million in damage.
Then they said that adjusted for inflation, this would be 16 billion dollars today.
Now 25 million goes into 16 billion SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY TIMES.
That would make todays dollar worth a bit more than a tenth of a cent in 1925.
I imagine the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Unfortunately, most of today's ruling class, along with the public, has been brainwashed to be absolutely terrified of nuclear power.

Even of those laptops I've used that were made in America, the majority of the batteries contained therein were made in Japan.
;->
What I want to know, is do they retain efficiency and output at -40 degrees? I hate changing a tire or chaining up in a blizzard at night with a dying flashlight...
Get an LED flashlight. I have one with 6 led's, and depending how many times you push the button, 1, 3, or all six come on.
The only thing I don't like about led flashlights is that the color is a bit off. They'll figure that out soon enough.
But rising energy prices have caused much of this inflation, particularly since the 70s. Sort of a chicken/egg situation.

Politics is not the solution. Politics is the problem. This problem will be (is being) resolved. Opening the way for free-market competition the world has never seen.
Rational and honest principle is strength -- an asset. Irrational and dishonest principle is weakness - a liability.
Not even close to the middle. Typical MSM journalism-loose with the facts. In reality, the ratio is about 10 to one.
"One of the most predictable and truly defining traits about liberals is they see a problem and cry about it, urge conservation or government regulation, cry some more, scream and protest in the streets, and never give even the slightest thought to the likelihood that ingenuity -- propelled, usually, by capitalism -- will solve the problem in no time if just given a chance.
Good God, what a clueless bunch to have as much influence as they have."
Truer words have never been spoken.
It isn't the bulb, and in fact, I have LED lights, too. The batteries die at those temperatures.
