<span style="color:#FF0000">Warning I'm feeding the troll a bit in this post but I do think I provide a little entertainment and information for your reading time, but mostly I'm feeding the troll.
Maybe you think Kandrathe with his calculations of how much matter would be needed if we had 100% efficiency nuclear fusion is living in a fantasy dream land, but if you think that you really missed the mark again. It was overstatement to illustrate a point.
As to why I'm feeding an obvious troll like you? Well as you say, it's a public forum, even though it isn't which you nearly grasp later when you comment on the moderators. Your speech is not legally protected on these forums as best as I understand how the laws have been applied to forums in the past. This is a private forum with public access. The moderators are allowed to censor whatever they like and you have no real legal recourse to defend yourself.
Anyway I got off track there. I'm feeding your ego by responding to your post so that others skimming these threads in the future understand that many of us know what a forum troll is and that we do understand not to feed them to make them go away but that yes we will play with them for a bit after trying to honestly help them.
All of Jester's advice, which you again spit vitriol at, was simply to help you so that people would be more likely to read what you post and not just skip it. Not everyone will wade through it like I did. So if you really believe that you are helping folks out by railing against the ivory tower of ignorance inhabited by the forum hacks you should at least be wise enough to make sure the people get your message. A revolutionary that sits in his home and yells at his T.V. really doesn't pick up a lot of followers.
Quote:But some of you seem to think that nuclear power will bring heaven on earth, so I felt obliged to put in a few countering arguments. Sorry if that was too much for the 'hacks' here B)Who? I'd like to know where you got this misinterpretation from. I've seen no one that thinks this way. I see a lot of people that see us having an energy problem right now and who see nuclear as a way to provide an immediate solution that has less of an impact on the environment than what is currently being used. That means it's a step in the right direction. Even Pete who is very pessimistic about unproven techs is very much for spending more on research of other options.
