He invited my father and I to come over to Enid, Okla. to see the "little" experiment he has been working on. My father has two BS degrees- Chemical and Industrial Engineering. I was working on my BS degree in Mechanical Engineering when I had to stop and deal with cirrhosis and get a liver transplant. I want James to talk to my brother who has his Ph.D in Chemical Engineering. I say "little" experiment only because he has no real lab and must use items which he has fabricated over time and at his expense. We had to sign a confidentiality agreement forms so I will not be telling anyone anything about how or what he was using in his "little" experiment. What I can tell you is, he produced a plasma ball several times in front of our eyes. And, the glassware was warm to the touch even after it had time to cool. I examined it! Someone needs to pay attention to this guy. Personally, I think he should get funding and given a lab with lab equipment to work in. My father thought it had great potential. Mr. Tracy has thought it through and has great ideas for the use of the by-products in the end. Thanks James for allowing us to view it! I think on a large scale this will be useful to everyone.

Be sure to vote up the right one, which so far has a score of 600. We need to be at about 3500 to make the front page of energy and environment; ▶ Reply to This

In December 2008 alone, 66% of our oil was imported from foreign countries at a cost of $19.3 billion.

The Obama administration should adopt the principals of the Pickens Plan as a way of breaking our addiction to foreign oil and beginning the transition to alternative energy sources.
