>From an Op-Ed article in today's NY Times: "the idea of creating large national markets to buy and sell electricity makes more sense as economic theory than as physics, because it consumes power to transmit power. 'It's only efficient to transmit electricity for a few hundred miles at most,' says Dr. Richard Rosen, a physicist at the Tellus Institute, a nonprofit research group. "
How dare those physicists try to tell the True Believer Free Market Fanatics that the TBFMFs' beloved theory is incompatible with science? I mean, what do physicists know, anyway? It's a good thing George W. Bush knows nothing about science and rejects it, since otherwise he and his economics would be in real trouble. But, since he doesn't believe in it, it can't possible have any effect on him. :::snort::: Tom Beck www.prydonians.org www.mercerjewishsingles.org "I always knew I'd see the first man on the Moon.
