The Baby Doomers?

I remember, "Never trust anyone over 35".
Later, "Never trust the government"
Now, "Don't trust anyone."

The one thing that seems consistent now is that all age groups have realized just how the "Over 35, quasi-governmental, self aggrandizing ripoff artists in the finacial sector" have screwed every age group to varying degrees, for a long forseeable future.

I think hanging the term "Baby Doomers" by these two whippersnappers is simply a rejection that someone might have actually seen more, and known more than they do. Give'm 30 years and see what the think then.

You don't learn much, until after you think you knowt all.

Gold Miner Profits Will Be Fueled by Lower Energy Prices

I think this guy's article is right on the money.

2008 Was Bad - Will 2009 Be Worse?

I think we need to pick a number, a really big number, maybe 10,000. Let's reserve 10,000 beds in our prisons by releasing 10,000 petty marijuana possession criminals. Then we'll fill those beds with 10,000 of the most likely culprits responsible for this heist. The criminal base cuts across all sectors, so we need to look at everyone from the government (like paulson), wallstreet (like Madoff), and other financial institutions' governances. Then give them the same treatment as the pot somkers. Seize all their assets including their homes and cars, incarcerate them without bail, provide them with a public(unqualified) attorneyies and let them rot for a few years. In short, make international examples of them.
It won't cure the current crisis, but it may provide some food for thought in the future. "Hey remember that Madoff guy from 10 years ago? Yeah he died in prison today."

Environmentalism May Face Major Setback in 2009

With the impacts of burgeoning population, reduced resources, finite real estate, and ever changing and declining environmental quality, it is obvious to the world, if not a few brain dead trolls, that we must be more frugal, efficient, and conservative with what we have, regardless . Even dogs don't crap in their own beds. We should be at least that smart.

Time for America to Fire First Shot in the EV Revolution

For the nay sayers here, read up and look around. 40 mile round trips are so , so , like not even in the ballpark,chaps. The real ranges with tne newer batteries are already well over 100 miles at full 100mph performance. Do a search for Electric Cobra, EV Racing, Tesla, or just about anything you didn't think was possible. And remember, the first car ever marketed was electric.

Raser Technologies: All Talk, No Profits

Looks like a scare job to buy up a bunch of low, low priced stock...
Maybe it worked when it got down to about 30 cents a share. This week it's about .74 on news that the Utah Geothermal plant opened up.
