not the same Jim Cline, although I found that one (above) by looking for this one:

They talking about a space elevator here? We already use "kinetic energy" to get stuff into orbit. It's called rockets and it costs more to send a pound of stuff into orbit than to purchase a pound of gold. A space elevator would reduce that to about 100$ a pound , that is until some Religion of Peace scumbag manages to blow it up.
