A Bloom Box for your Plasma Grain

Why We Will Comeback

In the last couple of days I have come across two exciting articles. One is about a technology that is in use and the other is about a technology that will surely light up our worlds.

First I read about the Bloom Box. This innovative box is currently being used by the likes of Google to power their data centers while saving them $100,000 a month in energy bills. Additionally, since it is basically a fuel cell it does not give off poisonous fumes. What is great about this technology is that it can use natural gas. 


Natural gas is very, very abundant in the United States. The whole central part of our great nation from the south to the north sits on a massive amount of natural gas. This makes it an extraordinarily great fuel source. Certainly free from foreign entanglements. 


Of course it could use bio-diesel or just about anything. Next it would make for a distributed power grid. This would make our country safer, cleaner, and definitely more prosperous. And for those of you who still believe in man made global warming, this will even stop that! So the downside you ask.. well currently they cost about a hundred ounces of gold or more. 


But, heck, just send it to China, I am sure they will copycat it down to $10 quick as a blink.

Brainstorm

Next up we have the Plasma light. This little gem is about the size of a lonely Christmas tree light. Yet it gives off much more light than a large streetlamp! Also, it doesn't contain any of the poisons of those horrible florescent spiral thingys.

And it burns at 6000K which for designer and those who get irritable during the dark days of winter, it literally brings sunlight into your life. So it glows at a very comfortable color.

This my friends is why America is great and why it will get its mojo back in a couple of year. Forget taxation and one world government orders to stop global anything. Let the spirit and entrepreneurship of the US be free and watch as the magic it produces also produces jobs and freedom from the too big too fails.

Cheers
The Geek.
