Hi,
[snip]
Some half-baked ideas from memory on previous lists (somewhat
jocularly):
Buying cheap land under high tension power lines.
Selling energy stocks ( and the many subsidiary industry stocks) short.
Starting filling station remodeling companies.
Buying Neodymium (The Chinese have already cornered that market :-( ).
Making retrofit car engines.
Inventing heat dissipation technology for portable devices.
Selling road and sidewalk heaters to melt snow in north east cities.
Build perpetual hot air balloons.
Selling power back to the power companies (~US$60.00 per day for a
residential generator unit).
Desalination plants.
No more concern for energy efficiency in homes, vehicles -- the end
of the
insulation business.
No more interest in the middle east at all -- let them go their own
way.
Extracting gold from sea water.
Making gasoline from air and water.
Disinfecting drinking and pool water by boiling it.
Selling scrap power plant parts.
Dismantling wind farms and hydro plants.
Replace broadcast antenna towers with perpetually hovering helicopters.
Completely new airplane designs where no fuel has to be onboard, and
efficiency doesn't matter.
Self heating soup cans.
Self cooling soft drink cans.
Car air conditioners and heaters that are on all the time.
Send your car up into the air ( hot air balloon or helicopter rotor) or
around the block 'til you call it back -- no parking places needed.
Buildings supported by compressed air (should be more immune to
earthquakes
as well as cheaper).
They are worse than half-baked, they are suicidal. Let's hope that
humanity has
enough sense to avoid such stupidity. We currently have a global warming
problem, *at least* partially driven by the greenhouse effect. While
FE would
solve that problem, extreme profligate waste will create a new
problem of direct
heat overload. It is therefore imperative that efficiency measures be
continued
along with the introduction of FE.

Competition provides the motivation,
Cooperation provides the means.
You folk's need to read the old fusion facts papers on cold fusion the
