  1. Nice podcast, Eric, but unfortunately you forgot to address the serious security risk that a biofuels plant may be hijacked by an army of killer mutants led by Tina Turner.

  3. Food for thought, just in case your brain is hungry.——————————-
    The last two centuries have demonstrated the superiority of free market
    economies over centralized economies and the superiority of democracy
    over forms of government that concentrate power in the hands of a few.
    In both cases, the root of that superiority lies in the open flow of information.
    Thomas Jefferson [founder of the Democratic Party] saw open
    communication as the key to the success of the American experiment:
    “Which we trust will end in establishing the fact, that man may be governed
    with reason and truth. Our first object should therefore be, to leave open to
    him all the avenues of truth.” Adam Smith, who described the collective
    wisdom of free markets as “the invisible hand,” also considered the free
    flow of information essential to the efficiency of capitalism. When
    information is freely available to individuals and flows unimpeded
    throughout the political or economic system, the important decisions
    are not always made by the same small group of people. Instead,
    the ability to make judgments is widely distributed throughout the
    entire system, so each individual can contribute to the collective
    wisdom.
    Decisions that are made in this manner usually turn out to be better than
    those made by any small group, which is inherently more vulnerable to the
    dangers of limited information and special pleading.
