What contribution to humanity do mercenaries provide?

Do you think bitcoin or other cryptocurrency will gain in popularity because of the reasons you’ve stated?

I’m very interested in using thorium as a nuclear fuel for energy production , and I understand that one way to have a thorium reactor is to create a source of neutrons to transmute thorium into fissile U233. Could you use your fusor or something similar in this manner? If so, the dream of having an on/off switch to control a nuclear reactor becomes very realistic, and runaway reactions like Chernobyl, Fukushima, and 3 mile island become a thing of the past.

Thanks.

much safer

Not necessarily. There is nothing inherently safe about genetic engineering. Nothing.

Every splice needs to be evaluated for safety with long term scientific testing. And we need transparency. And we need the industry to be Non-self-regulated.

Currently there are too many conflicts of interest between the industry and the regulators.

We are up in arms with the revolving door between the FCC and Comcast... But we turn a blind eye when Monsanto and company do this same practice on a Much Much larger scale.

People need to learn the definition of GMO.

Selective breeding is not GMO.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_organism

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.

Genetic Engineering is then defined

Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome...

...The first GMOs were bacteria in 1973 and GM mice were generated in 1974.
