All the technologies we all enjoy today that are ensembles of hundreds

Besides that, look at all the universities that *expect* their doctoral
candidates and professors to come up with new ideas. Look at all the
think tanks that pay experts to come up with new ideas. In light of all
this, such a remark from you is nothing more than self-justifying paranoia.

Apparently you never had an idea of your own
that you had to propose and defend. I won't
engage myself in another boring discussion
with you. Just one point. Why did the USA not
invest in solar energy? You got vast sunny
plains in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada
and California, you are leading in high tech,
you got elite universities, you have brillant
researchers and engineers. Why did they get
no money and encouragement for developing
solar energy devices and facilities? It happens
now that new solar cells that convert light of
every color into electricity and will one day
reach an efficiency of eighty degrees (compared
to the some seventeen degrees of the best
conventional cells) are being developed in
Germany. You could have done the same ten
years ago. Who has hindered your scientists?
Back in 1990 an engineer at the Federal
Institute of Technology Zurich (where Einstein
taught for a while, very few students attending
his lectures), Dr. Meinrad Eberle and his team
built a sports car that used 3 (three) liters
of fuel per one hundred kilometers. Why can't
your engineers achieve the same? Why are
you flooding Europe with monster cars?
And why has the big climate report, written
by numerous brillant US American scientists,
been published in a censored form? As I said,
new ideas were always hated. I could tell
you stories for hours, from the general history
of ideas, and from pioneers in Switzerland,
but I chose an example that concerns you
and us directly. The biosphere is a fragile film
covering our planet, we cause a dramatic
climate change (we can tell in Switzerland,
for our glaciers are melting away at a rate
we never held possible), and we must really
do something about it. There are people
around who could cope with the climate
change, but they were and are hindered
by powerful lobbies, and by the general hate
for new ideas (which is also present in
sci.lang, where scientific arguments are
replaced by ad hominems, mobbing, and
killrating). I am pleased, however, by
Google's engagement for solar energy.
