Well, I didn't mean to bore you or hijack this thread. Sorry. It's just that when (not if) electric power "deregulation" happens, it will make industries like soft drinks look like lemonade stands. We are dependent on electric power, a commodity. It is almost like trying to pretend we're putting competition into the drinking water industry. That will be next, following electric power "deregulation" (profitization).

The invention seems cool. I have a hazy recollection of another invention...wait...it's coming.....that train that rides on magnets and goes something like 300 mph. It uses no more power than an ordinary home range. At least, that's what I thought I heard. If they can figure out how to operate it in a vacuum, the thing might go tens of thousands of miles per hour. Using the same amount of power. You first saw the concept on a Saturday morning. The Jetsons.
