You realize, Gerard, that there are people who watch this and agree with everything said. And they will say, "Hey, why didn't I think of that?"
And we will be here, laughing at them.
Some TED Talks are interesting. Like the virtual choir.

IPAB: President Obama's NICE Way To Ration Care To Seniors.
"Over a decade ago, Britain set up its National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), a group of appointees whose pronouncements limit medication and technology usage based on costs. Despite the endless complaints and numerous lawsuits by doctors and citizen groups in Britain, NICE served as the model upon which IPAB was based. A Board of appointees like the IPAB, its role is to reduce health spending.
NICE has become a rationing Board, holding costs down by limiting available treatments. Ninety percent of England’s hospital trusts are now rationing care by following NICE’s long list of “recommendations” that includes stopping access to drugs that prolong life or cure breast cancer, stomach cancer, kidney cancer, macular degeneration (causing progressive blindness), multiple myeloma, rheumatoid arthritis, early Alzheimer’s disease, MS, and osteoporosis that causes hip fractures and premature death. NICE also restricts hip and knee replacements, cataract surgery, procedures for back pain, infertility, steroid injections and cancer screening like PAP smears. David Stout of the NHS Confederation representing primary care trusts explained to the BBC that “the NHS faces considerable financial pressures and scarce resources have to be used as effectively as possible.” Under NICE, treatments are routinely refused on the grounds of limited resources and the need to make decisions based not on individual’s or family’s choice, but on the government’s assessment of the benefit."
Ten years = 2022
This would be funnier if I wasn't approaching Medicare age.
Read Fat Man's PJ media link, click "Obama's crony capitalism" and read Venture Socialism. I didn't think there could be anything worse than President Obama until I imagine a President Al Gore!

I used to be a green skeptic (or greeskep as we call ourselves). Not any more! With concepts like this floating around, who needs fossil fuel!
Ha- take that big oil.

It is an indisputable fact that in the 1980's Dr. Emmett Brown successfully modified a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 to utilize compostable material for generating 1.21 gigawatts to power an onboard flux capacitor. His initial design utilized plutonium, but later in that same decade he perfected the use of compostable material.
Posted by: edaddy at October 22, 2012 8:14 AMBeen there since the Germans in the 1930's and 1940's. Doing it worldwide now. For what is coal but compressed, concentrated compost? And that tells you why burning compost is a enchantingly naive idea.
