Nada. Zero. Zilch. Yet many want to make this group of functionally useless technologies the primary energy sources for our entire civilization. |

| Damage control is the name of the game in Berlin on Monday as politicians rush to deny that they are receiving a better, safer swine flu vaccine than ordinary Germans.

Many of the problems with run-away healthcare costs can... |
