Numbers Just Aren't There To Continue With Internal Combusti

This is not a problem that needs to be fixed.

Is there _any_ problem you ever fixed?

About $200 million worth, so far.
And yet you have managed to hang a lower profile than a illegal alien
drug smuggling coyote.

How do you _manage_ to stay out of the public record?

Every [legal] billionaire on the planet would like to know.

About 13 figures a year and climbing.

Next question?

The automakers are victims of circumstances.

You mean US automakers. And the failure to innovate isn't
'circumstances'.

Right. �If the USA had decent government run pension and health care
systems like the civilized countries then the "Big Three" would not have
a "Legacy Cost" problem and manufacturing of automobiles would be an
American mainstay.

Very likely.
One sign that times are changing is that the largest corporation in
the world, WalMart, now supports national health care.

Or at least Walmart should be the largest now that the price of oil
has dropped so much.

If you mean court records, correct: I have never been involved in a
legal proceeding, barring occasional jury duty, and probably never
will.

What I do is entirely non-coercive: I design stuff and offer it for
sale. If people think it's worthwhile, they buy it. If we did anything
wrong, we'll fix it forever, for free. If the customers don't like the
gadget, they can return it and get their money back. All of our own
incentives, by design, are towards quality and accountability.

It's a heap of fun.

You sound frustrated and angry. You want to change the world by force,
and I want to change it by offering choices. The law, being a
coercive, winners and losers, less-than-zero-sum process, does that to
people. I've dated enough lawyers to see the personal damage.

Has anyone seen any real evidence of anything close to 2,000
gallons/ acre year?

That's $20,000/acre when berry crops fetch more than that.

A 1000 percent increase above $2 per gallon (that will be the price
by summer) would be $200 per gallon or $400K per acre if 2000
gal/acre.

1000 percent would be 10X, which would be $20/gallon. or $40K per acre
per year for a 2000 gal/acre algae farm.

Actually it would be $30 a gallon because the price is currently $1.50.

Don't want to nit-pick here, but 1000% (10X) of $1.50 is $15 a gallon.

OK, fine, At $15 a gallon the capital investment needed for algae
production is quite profitable. The land costs are zilch. All the costs
are in the short 15 year capital depreciation-amortization of the
reactors. You build 100 reactors they are expensive (even plastic bags).
But when you build 20k reactors the price per reactor goes way the hell
down. That is especially true in a depression. And BTW, Mexico is
running out of oil regardless of what happens elsewhere.

I know what you are saying, and I also felt like this for a long time.
I just don't see the profitability that you see, or to put it differently : I think that other farm use of cheap land would be
more profitable that growing algae.
Let me run an example in detail, and see if I can validate this statement a bit more concrete.
That may clear up the difference in perspective that we seem to have.
Don't have time now, but I will do this soon.
Michael, I can't get good numbers on the profitabillity of food grown on marginal lands in greenhouses,
but I did find this one that is doing just that right now in the Arizona desert :

http://kjzz.org/news/arizona/archives/200602/organicfarming2

The point is that food grown in greenhouses is already profitable now.
With increase in fuel prices (and with that increase in food prices, and increase in land prices) growing food on marginal lands in
greenhouses will become a HUGE profitable market.
Food is always more valuable than fuel, and that's why I believe that algae grown for fuel (in bioractors) will not ever be as
profitable as growning food in similar costing greenhouses.
Even on marginal lands as this example shows.

Unless... Algae farms 'bioreactors' become a factor 10X cheaper (per acre). THEN and only then will growing algae for fuel become
profitable, and will already be profitable now.
Don't wait for the price of fuel to go skyhigh.

According to what I have seen the 2000 gal per year does not require the
enhanced CO2.
Do you have a link to such an algae pilot project (without enhanced CO2) ?

AFAICT, worse off (health-care wise, maybe otherwise) than most of the
countries which really do have government-run healthcare.

[There's a difference between something being regulated by government and
being *run* by it. E.g. if you think that the heavy regulation of the UK
telephone industry might not be a good thing for consumers, ask anyone old
enough to remember about the days of the GPO.]

I daresay that the service is very good for the dwindling number of people
who can still afford to use it (i.e. if you have insurance, the insurance
doesn't require prohibitive co-payments, and it won't be revoked the first
time you actually try to claim on it), but the value for money seems to be

I don't have patents... they are a huge waste of time, and only the
first step in litigation, even worse. I just keep designing stuff at a
rate that stays way ahead of the competition; by the time they copy
it, I'm already selling the next generation. And if my competitors do
copy my products, as a few have, my customers know it and generally
refuse to buy the copies. So I'm designing electronics, which is a
heap of fun, instead of sitting around with boring, clueless lawyers,
which certainly isn't.

I suppose a multi-gigabuck company can afford to have a legal staff
that arguably pays its way. A multi-megabuck company can't.

So. You want to get away from the free enterprise system.  Free

not what SUV's, pickups and sedans, they would not buy them and the
automakers would not build them.  If the _people_ demonstrate (by
using their dollars) they want hybrids most, then the automakers would
build them.

What you are proposing is that the government decide what products the
automakers make and what products are available to the _people_. I
don't think your vision for the future is desired or wanted by any
free enterprise advocate.- Hide quoted text -

What part of "free enterprise" is screwing up your own business and

If you walk down the street handing out free money, sure I'll have

"cake and eat it too".  

The same part of "free enterprise" that brought you Fannie Mae and

Hybrids are uneconomic. You'll push them even faster into
bankruptcy. Liquid fossil fuels win on *weight*. Energy per
unit mass is the lowest.
Actually, hybrid vehicles are far lighter than IC cars, at least for
electric range less of 100 km or similar (of course, in the high ranges IC
predominate). There is at least a 10x weight to power ratio between IC and
electric
motors, not mention the fact the electrics are so far simpler and more
efficient, even at partial load. We have to focus to pure electric city cars
for daily commuting or to hybrids having a little
electric range in the order of 50-70 km and with an IC free-pistons engine
working only to charge the battery (not linked to the wheels); there are at
least two advantages with this approach : 1) you can't even consume a
single drop of gasoline in all your life, if your daily trip is less than
50-60 km; 2) even if you use the thermal engine in very rare circumstances,
you use it in a very
efficient way, because it works at costant rpm and only to charge the
battery, so without the complexity and inefficiency of typical mechanical
connections
