[Vo]:OFF TOPIC In Vitro Meat Consortium
Somewhat off topic, I guess. See: http://www.invitromeat.org/ I wish that people would organize cold fusion initiatives like this. Establishment of the In Vitro Meat Consortium The In Vitro Meat Consortium was established at a workshop held at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences June 15, 2007 (see meeting report). It is an international alliance of environmentally concerned scientists striving to facilitate the establishment of a large-scale process industry for the production of muscle tissue for human consumption through concerted RD efforts and attraction of funding to fuel these efforts. The consortium is currently led by an interim steering committee with a specific mandate. The interim phase will end with the consortiums first international symposium April 9-11, 2008, where (i) the consortium's organizational structure will be determined, (ii) the scientific and industrial challenges will be examined and defined, and (iii) strategies will be consolidate The First In Vitro Meat Symposium The first In Vitro Meat Consortium Symposium will be held at Ås, Norway, 9-11 April, 2008. The two main goals of the symposium are to identify and discuss the key scientific challenges that need to be solved and to formalize an organizational structure capable of binding together the various efforts as well as facilitating the funding of necessary activities. There is no conference fee, but we ask participants to cover their own travel and accommodation costs. The symposium provides a unique opportunity to make strategic contacts and to influence the direction of future work and activities. Indeed, we hope that one day it will be viewed as a historic meeting. . . .
RE: [Vo]:OFF TOPIC In Vitro Meat Consortium
Jed, interesting. I have been focusing on future organizational aspects of cold fusion. What would inhibit the cold fusion 'community' from indeed organizing itself along these or comparable lines?

Actually, Bill Collis is probably doing the best anyone could over at ISCMNS: http://www.iscmns.org/index.htm I would say these are the main reasons the field cannot be effectively organized: Most researchers are old, tired, discouraged or dead. Researchers have no money. Many of them see no value in organizing. Many feel that others in the field are doing low quality work or making mistakes in theory, and they do not wish to be associated with them. Researchers tend to be rugged individualists who think they should tough it out and solve all problems by themselves. - Jed
[Vo]:Toroidal inductors
Hi, If one has two separate toroidally wound inductors, and one passes a DC current through each coil, do they experience any force from one another, particularly when sharing a common major axis? I'm interested in both theoretical and experimental responses. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk The shrub is a plant.
[Vo]:The Kiplinger Letter: 03/07/08 comments on energy
The Kiplinger Letter's comments on ENERGY for the week of 03/07/08 * A new black gold rush is under way, this time in North Dakota. The potential payoff is huge...up to 100 billion barrels of oil. That's twice the size of Alaska's reserves...enough to meet U.S. needs for 20 years. An official government estimate is due out next month. Until now, the obstacles to production seemed overwhelming. The crude oil is locked away in rocks that are buried miles underground in the Bakken Play, a field that stretches into Montana and Canada. But times have changed. High oil prices and new technology make it worth the effort. Marathon Oil, Tristar Oil Gas, EOG Resources and Crescent Point Energy Trust are all interested in some of the action. Figure on at least five years before the oil starts flowing. As for Congress' effort to push alternative energy: Forget it. At least for this year. Expect the Senate to bury the House plan to add a 50¢ a gallon tax credit for ethanol produced from farm waste and forestry, trash, etc. Dead, too, are bigger breaks for buyers of hybrid cars and double credits for home energy efficiency measures. The problem is the cost: $18 billion. Democrats would pay for it by revoking oil company credits, but that'll never get past Republicans. -- Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
Re: [Vo]:The Kiplinger Letter: 03/07/08 comments on energy
Howdy Steven, Kiplinger needs to do his math. Search out how much petroleum is consumed in the US daily and divide by 100 billion. Always remember what the politicians give as the answer to what is the business of government. The business of government is business Richard Steven wrote, A new black gold rush is under way, this time in North Dakota. The potential payoff is huge...up to 100 billion barrels of oil.
