Technology that may change the world

Here is something that may change the world.  And it may put a serious hit on the nat gas market if it comes to fruition.

I don't know if is legit or not but it is a fascinating idea.

Jim,

Come back to us on GMS. There is no way this is economically feasible. Maybe some day in the 22 century, but not now. I will admit it is a neat idea.

Don't know if this was posted here before but it's interesting technology as well. Just saw a tv add for this stuff this week.

Just what we need synthetic oil from the Middle East (Qatar).

That's neat and all warm and fuzzy, BUT something that will really change the world is NUCLEAR FUSION.

Covered in the Q & A;  Parking lots still have nearly 50% exposure according to sat pics they posted.

I love this idea!   I always joked I wanted a solar heated driveway

I agree it would and hopefully someday will be a great innovation. Keep dreaming and someday it may become reality. Just a long time from now.

Tesla's $5,000,000,000 battery plant will do more to the demise of fossil fuels than anything I can think of.   They aren't spending that kind of money on a battery plant just to make batteries for their cars.  They have full home solar rechargeable batteries in mind too.  We'll still need a bridge between solar and coal though and natural gas will do that nicely.
