If I had a huge pile of venture cash, I'd try to create a company that invested in these types of technology and funded the construction of plants. Essentially, the mission statement would be something like: To use technology to improve the quality of life of the community, while making a fair and reasonable profit in the process.

The two most promising technologies I'm following right now are CWT's TCP process, and SkyWeb Express rapid personal transport.

Well, there's one other thing to fund: security. Imgaine how annoyed *certain* oil producing nations would be if it became clear we would nto need to give them money anymore...

Aw, ta hell with that... make BUCKETS of money! The thing with TCP is that it needs funding to the tune of probably trillions of dollars to get where it needs to go (eliminating oil drilling across the planet), and trillions are hard to come by.

I note that the SkyWeb Express video used the music from Gone With the Wind for its background music. That did not strike me as an auspicious sign.
