Say, hyper solar power, or magnetic energy or something, to fuel engines and machinery? Do you think the US would still be in Iraq and the middle east killing and destroying with no oil issues on the leader’s agenda?

a 1,600-foot tall “solar tower” that can power a small city

If they prove it works by december, how long would it take hypothetically for it to start impacting the US and world economy on a major scale. 5 months, several years? Just knowing that the concept is workable has got to do something to stocks and businesses.
By the way, stop calling it bogus free energy. It may be fake, but I am open to the idea. The input source of energy may be from a third source(zero point energy) and might not violate any thermodynamic principles. I think that some professionals get a kick out of putting down ideas. As a good scientist, you must be open to the idea that others may be smarter than you and that there are things you may not know.
Thanks elfman.
Intelguy, you look just like me which quite frankly disturbs me. Secondly, that wasn’t even my question.

Is the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (AP Story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060614/ap_on_re_as/asia_security emerging as the new Warsaw Pact? Facing off against US, Japan, Australia, etc, with Taiwan holding the position of Berlin, & military power focused on naval more so than land power?
NOTE: Japan is partnered with US on regional missle defense, has recently engaged & chased off a PRC sub in Japan waters, has opened an informal embasy in Taipei, and has an extensive exchange program of retired senior military officers. They are now in negotiations with Taipei toward a treaty as to what level of military involvement Japan would have in support of the US if China were to invade Taiwan, & what Japan military reaction would be if these extensive support & defensive forces were to be attacked.

Thanks so far. Focused on China vs US, with role players around the Pacific on the one side, and this organization on the other. I tend to not think it will go hot for 10 years, and will be WW3 when that happens, but in the meantime building Cold War? And, how do you feel about the aligning forces against American interests, & moves by Japan to lead the way in that region while we’re at war elsewhere?
Ghetto:
That’s interesting. I don’t entirely disagree, but I think we’re a little wasy off from there. I’m just refering to something cold between now & the anticipated hot version in 10-15 years. So far as future technologies emerging as a war/confilct changing paradigm, I don’t think so. For this “friendly” warfare you speak of to emerge there would have to be parity in technology. In other words, we can attack them in secret w/o being blamed, but they will respond with what they have available, and that would still be conventional/nuclear options.
Please dont answer that it is a bad idea. I dont ask what you think about the idea. If you like it you are welcome to tell me, BUT my main QUESTION IS…… WHERE IN US do we burn bio-waste for heat and electric power production?
I know the forest industry burn some bio waste to produce heat, but that require 24 hr demand on heat. In Sweden, they have a big forest industry, and there is popping up bio waste electric power plants all over, very clean, no pollution. Even cities are heated with under ground hot water from these plants. They even store excessive heat in huge thermoses, to be used on peak hours on the day.
Here in western Washington, forestry businesses burn their logging bio waste out in the forests with no filtering or cleaning at all. Sawmills transport raw milled lumber hundreds of miles to get it dryed, instead of power their own drying facility with bio waste, bark and sawdust. Then transport dried lumber straight to the port with less pollution from diesel usage.
Is the Super Particle Accelerator project dangerous to the world because the huge amount of un-controllable energy that can come free and they do not have enough devices/moutains for contamination ?

Let’s go, folks! The US is 5% of the world population, yet we produce a full quarter of the world’s greenhouse gases. Big Business and Big Government can be dealt with… they DO pay attention to what we buy. Let’s see more hybrid cars and more solar panels.
