Rogers, a VMI grad, who is on the board of Applied Materials Inc. in CA, the global leader in nanomanufacturing technology and also producing solar photovoltaic cells and flexible electronics. http://www.vmi.edu/show.aspx?tid=29405&id=478 Notice his connection with AEA Investors. Here's a little something penned by a managing director of AEA, who happens to be a retired admiral of the Navy and who recently headed up SAIC: http://www.americansecurityproject.org/essays/the_business_of_defense_does_matter SAIC, as many of you may know, is a huge military defense contractor with a rather shadowy rep. Admiral Owens was also a senior military assistant to Secretaries of Defense Frank Carlucci and Darth Cheney. Carlucci's company is The Carlyle Group. Ex-CIA director Robert Gates is also a former board member of SAIC. Well, now I’m thinking it’s this James E.

His education shows business administration and law, blah blah... I thought I must have found the wrong guy. Is it possible that he's listed as a co-inventor... I don't know... as compensation for something? Anyway, this bio on this particular James E. Rogers was interesting: http://www.duke-energy.com/about-us/leaders/jim-rogers.asp <em>Rogers has been honored with various awards and recognition: The Jan. 5, 2009, edition of Newsweek named Rogers to The Global Elite list, "The 50 Most Powerful People in the World," saying ”The CEO of Duke Energy could make dreams of renewable power a reality."</em> Mmm hmm. @ pookie

By 2016 there'll be so much junk orbiting the earth we'll be seeing "shooting stars" on a daily basis. Now that's reliable solar energy.

To get a few million in funding, in theory, one need only show that one has some "technology" that could possibly be developed into a finished product. Charlatans often get a few million before they're found out. A guy with this kind of background should have no trouble attracting capital. As for military applications, They never get tired trying to come up with new ways to kill people. However, I'm sure Russian, China, India, Japan, et al. will invest in coming up with cheap counter-measures like they always do. At the end of the day, it seems mostly about extorting money people by scaring them with threats that never materialize, unless its to scare people into paying. If the U.S. starts using its death-ray, I'm sure it can expect some sort of a asymmetrical attack on its infrastructure. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/04/us_power_grid_h.html http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/27/1229230&from=rss http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/26/power.at.risk/index.html If this technology can be made to work, it might make space exploration more plausible, which is what I wish all the military black-ops types would occupy their time with rather than figuring out how best to slit each others own throats.
