Re: Weather Channel Founder says\"Global Warming is Biggest Scam in His
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I can't fathom anyone would think anything other than the profit motive led us to the great developments of the computer. IBM, Intel, Microsoft? [/ QUOTE ] it's my understanding the big vaccuum computers of the 40's were built by government for government stuff, cause they were extremely expensive. I'm talking bout the origin of computers. [/ QUOTE ] The act of making computers price competitive for business and consumers was driven by the profit motive. We already have solar, its just not competitive. If there is a way to make solar cheaper than oil the market will find a way without Government intervention. If throwing money at a problem without regard to profits could solve problems then the $6.1 trillion spent in this country to fight poverty would have made a dent in poverty.

[/ QUOTE ] I see your point, we just disagree how to get there. Here is a good article that discusses the money flowing in to nanotech. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...UG7IDL1AF1.DTL

US spent what, 4000 billion on iraq war so far?

[/ QUOTE ] I guess where we disagree is if the US spent $4 trillion on nanotech solar would it be commercially viable sooner and would the benifits of earlier development outweigh the cost? I just don't think the Governemnt throwing money at a problem is going to solve it. I support the Iraq War, but others may argue the $4 trillion spent has not solved the problem.

It amazes me that global warming gets such wide acceptance on a site full of people who ought to understand the danger of drawing conclusions from the swings of a largely random system.

[/ QUOTE ] Do you really think most people on this site understand this even as it relates to poker? Hell, I've been playing for a living for 4 years and still have a hard time emotionally with variance.
