ALTERED STATES OF AMERICA #5: Obi Wan Kaczynski
Opening a letter bomb with a light saber
So you can feel the force.
Ashes and anthrax
Slowly settle on unused technology.
The age has come to invoke
Catastrophe on the sand people.

Keeping in line with with my partners in crime I have decided to write a Haiku demonstrating how I feel about this post.
Superconductors
Energy revolution
Spinning like sprewells
If anyone is unfamiliar with Hip hop culture sprewells are the popular “rims” for cars that have independent spokes that continue to spin once the car has stopped moving. It is reported that these rims make fellow members of the black community “act the fool” when they view them for the first time, as they are truly “the hot shit.” But that’s not what this post is about, not at all. Well maybe a little.
As many people know fusion technology is the next step in the development of energy alternatives. It is totally clean, renewable, and eventually will be the cheapest form of energy available in the world. Just to look at some numbers, a pure fusion reaction produces energy 7 orders of magnitude greater then a typical chemical reaction (a power plant burning coal for example) and more then two orders of magnitude greater then a nuclear fission. Percentage wise fusion produces 16000% more energy per kilogram then fission and an astounding 10300000% more energy then a typical chemical reaction. WHAT!?!?! That’s more then ten million times the energy produced then what produces 80% of the worlds energy. So what’s the problem? Why don’t we get this awesome power in our hands right now? Well there are problems, mainly economic and some technical problems concerning our actual ability to apply what we already can do with fusion to a viable energy producing plant.
