Max Keiser: Debt Throughout the World! TEDxBerlin - Bernard Lietaer - 11/30/09. Jim Rickards- Gold Standard is Plan B and Revalue Gold at $5000+ (Dollar is Collapsing) U.S. Headed Toward Bankruptcy, Says Top Budget Committee Member (Must See Video) Video: Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, ranking Republican on the House Budget Committee, says the current fiscal path will bring the U.S. government to bankruptcy. As Ryan explains, the nuts are the unfunded liabilities -- promises without revenue. One of the better discussions I've seen on the issue. Set aside a few minutes. “We know that for a fact. All the actuaries, all the objective scorekeepers of the federal government, are predicting bankruptcy.” “They say we are $53 trillion short of fulfilling the promises the government is making to the American people, in today’s dollars.”

After nearly nine years, Bloom Energy has finally publicly shown off its fuel cell that it says could replace a large hunk of the grid someday. And here it is: Watch CBS News Videos Online The Bloom Box -- which now costs $700,000 to $800,000 -- is essentially a device for making electricity on demand.
Methane or other hydrocarbons are fed into the device along with oxygen, and the mixture is heated to around 1,000 degrees Celsius. Bloom eventually hopes to make home units that cost around $3,000. The segment that aired Sunday on 60 Minutes provided quite a bit of information. --The Bloom box emits carbon dioxide. --Some of Bloom's patents talk about how its fuel cell can take the carbon dioxide, water, and some of the electricity produced by the first reaction and run it through the fuel cell again to produce oxygen and a methane-like fuel. --What are the catalysts made from? --John Doerr at Kleiner Perkins says that utilities may buy the box to put it in people's houses or buildings.
