If you could offer him a trillion dollars though, the situation could be different. Just keep going north, even Buffet would have his price...
Very interesting. I wonder how it compares to current solar panels when converting to electrical energy for storage.
A bulbous bow reduces wavemaking resistance, but the increased surface area increases frictional resistance. It's only worth fitting one when the...
I don't think it really matters whether the world runs out or not - price increases far outpace inflation in first world countries. That alone is...
I got about half way through your simplification before I got too tired to continue... ;) Yep. Yes it is, but the chances of BOTH engines...

I have no argument about efficiency, and I don't know enough about nuclear systems to comment on that. But there are still valid reasons for...
