On Patience and Focus for Advanced Materials

Thanks Mac. What can be done to open up the DOE and make them more transparent and accountable?

On Patience and Focus for Advanced Materials

Thanks, Jesse. I'm glad you found it inspirational and wish you all success.

Wilmot (if I may call you that),

I live your idea for a patent wiki or searchable database. I thought the patent office or the DOE was thinking about or building something like that. If not, it's a great idea.

On Our Climate War: FRONTLINE's "Climate of Doubt"

Mk1313, I don't disagree with your assertions or your opinion about subsidies. I argue that subsidies are no longer necessary for fossil fuels or alternatives. R&D money is still needed, but the majority of technologies available today are good to go, assuming a level playing field.

I guess where we differ is in the question of whether reasonableness is disinformation or naivete. 

Thanks for commenting.

On Our Climate War: FRONTLINE's "Climate of Doubt"

Jesse, thanks so much your sharing your thoughts and very erudite commentary. I especially like " we have to tend the garden of discourse and discussion itself." I'll look forward to further dialogue and will seek out your other writings.

On Our Climate War: FRONTLINE's "Climate of Doubt"

 Just saw this in the current Economist, a review of Dieter Hall's book, "The Carbon Crunch: How We're Getting Climate Change Wrong--and How to Fix It," which looks right up my alley. Will order a review copy and have a look: http://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21564815-climate-change-needs-better-regulation-not-more-political-will

Thanks, Paul. I'll check it out.

On Baby You Can Drive My (Electric) Car

My apologies. "Botched" is indeed misleading, and I will change it in the text. I assume that readers will be familiar with "Who Killed the Electric Car?" Thanks for keeping me honest.

Thanks, Willem. I look forward to reading your piece.

I love that story, Rick. Thanks for sharing.
