This is a brilliant idea. I read about it in the Popular Science magazine sometime last year. It never really interested me until today. I re-read the article and came on the website to find out what other people think. There are a few specific things that I am not crazy about, and since I know you all care so much I'm going to list them here. 1. AUTOMATION: In a time of world wide economic crisis, we need to be creating jobs, not reducing them. And while one could argue that manufacturing the machines the will create jobs, chances are, those factories would also be automated. 2. SEWAGE FOR POWER AND WATER: I don't like the idea very much. I think it's probably just that I don't fully understand the technology. I plan to do some more "research" and hopefully what I find out will alter my opinion. 3. LAB GROWN MEAT: This is a technology that I am not at all happy with. Its just so unnatural and currently unnecessary. I believe that research should be continued in this field so that when the time comes, the technology is there. What I'm saying is that I'd prefer to wait to utilize this technology, until its needed. The End P.S. If anybody has any informative links, please email me at plysaxaphone@aim.com
