Myself I'm inclined not to sell the guy to short, or maybe he can get some good help. I do find that your suggestion for the NPTS as facinating, some more of your thoughts on the subject would be a very fine topic for its own seperate thread. Please be more specific in your view on pie in the sky for future energy sourses. Just 100 years ago the very thought of anything but steam or electric locomotion on a railroad was almost unthinkable or to use the popular venacular "pie in the sky." . . . 30 years later passsenger and about 35 years later for freight, the world changed due to the efforts of the folks at EMD.
