        <p>I came across a talk that nobel laureate Kary Mullis gave, about 8 months ago at Saddleback College:<br />
<a href="http://focusfusion.org/index.php?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F9167379">http://vimeo.com/9167379</a></p>

<p>Most of the time it looks like the guy is full of it. But then sometimes he comes out and says something that seems to make sense on some level. I post it here because he talks about the scientific method in general and touches upon several issues that have also been discussed in these forums (some of them capped though). He also makes a few remarks about big-bang cosmology.</p>

<p>Watch for fireworks during the q&amp;a session at the end <img src="grin.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="grin" style="border:0;" /></p>

        <p>On June 8 the primary ballot in California contained proposition sixteen, an item previously discussed on a forum here.&nbsp; This measure was promoted by Pacific Gas and Electric which threw millions into saturation advertising in favor of it. The measure would have prohibited Cities and Counties from getting into the electric generation business except through a 2/3 vote of the electorate.&nbsp;  During the runup to the election, I never saw anything on the TV against it, and as far as I knew, there was no organized opposition to it.&nbsp; The final vote was</p>

<p>For:&nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  2,062,959 &nbsp;  42.5%<br />
Against:&nbsp; 2,784,316 &nbsp;  57.5%</p>

<p>No, your eyes do not deceive you.&nbsp; The measure failed.&nbsp; The voters, by a substantial margin, turned away the power companies&#8217; attempt to cement their profit margin in place.&nbsp; The spread was great enough that it will be a long time before they try it again.&nbsp; By then it may be too late for them.&nbsp; We shall see.</p>

A very short mention at about ~50 minutes of &#8220;smaller fission projects&#8221;. <br />
Seems some information is spreading in academic community.</p>
