Divisive?? Really. I suppose your idea of divisive is someone who disagrees with you? There was noting aggressive about my post. It is true that I do not live in Florida and have not broken bread with the Gov. But this is what I find on the internet in about 5 minutes.

A visibly annoyed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis admonished a group of students for wearing face masks at an indoor news conference Wednesday, saying it was time to stop what he called “this COVID theater."
Ashley Hanna didn’t intend to defy Gov. Ron DeSantis when she offered vaccine-only classes at her yoga studio. That decision put Hanna on a list of more than 100 businesses and local governments reported to the state as violating a Florida law championed by DeSantis against vaccine requirements.

This is the work of a true conservative. I will never believe an Objectivist would agree with these actions. I also refuse to be enslaved on the Republican plantation. The tea party tried to make changes to the party and has burned out. Maybe the 30% of elected republicans should join and legitimize the Libertarian party. I do not know the answer. But I do know the republican party has no more respect for my liberty than the Democratic party. Even if I do agree with most the conservatives policies.

I have to respectfully disagree. If you think you have the right to forcibly impact my mask wearing decision one way or another, then you are not an Objectivist and you do not respect my liberty. Both sides are equally the enemy of an Objectivist.

I mean no offense, but you are making the presumption that lawyers are reasonable men. I reject that premise.

I understand your viewpoint, but there is very little that a business can do in these situations. We saw how Danagger Coal, Taggart Transcontinental, and Rearden Steel struggled in such a ridiculous business climate.

Just yesterday, a local TV person approached my university's marketing director regarding a new development in hydrogen energy. Here is my reply.

I used to work in the hydrogen field more than a decade ago, but not so much on fuel cells. In the year before I came here, I was part of a team at Westinghouse Savannah River Company (now run by Department of Energy as the Savannah River Site). Back then, half of our group ran a fleet of hydrogen-powered vehicles as cheaply as off of diesel. The other half of our group was in charge of storing a nuclear isotope of hydrogen called tritium for nuclear bombs. When they gave me a Vice President's Award for my work, I told them that everyone else had at least six more years of experience, but in spite of that, I asked what my chances of promotion were. When they told me that was why they gave me the award, I came to our university.

I worked in hydrogen storage, purification, and sensing for a decade. I then helped start Florida Syngas, a biomass waste-to-chemicals company using some of my hydrogen technology background. Two and a half years later when then presidential candidate Barack Obama promised financial incentives to subsidize the solar power industry (You may remember Solyndra.), my customers who had been happy to exchange their value (money) for my value (a profitable venture not funded by government) to assuage their environmental guilt, my partners and I sold our company.

I switched from being in the energy business toward tissue engineering test beds for driving down the cost of organ manufacturing at that time and ever since.

From Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged:

"You expect industrial giants—who plan in terms of decades, invest in terms of generations and undertake ninety-nine-year contracts—to continue to function and produce, not knowing what random caprice in the skull of what random official will descend upon them at what moment to demolish the whole of their effort. Drifters and physical laborers live and plan by the range of a day. The better the mind, the longer the range. A man whose vision extends to a shanty, might continue to build on your quicksands, to grab a fast profit and run. A man who envisions skyscrapers, will not. Nor will he give ten years of unswerving devotion to the task of inventing a new product, when he knows the gangs of entrenched mediocrity are juggling the laws against him, to tie him, restrict him and force him to fail, but should he fight them and struggle and succeed, they will seize his rewards and his invention." This paragraph summarizes what happened back then in 2008-2009 and is happening again today in the energy business."



I know this sounds bitter, and I am not as bitter as this sounds, but it summarizes the hydrogen business. Now that fossil fuels are extremely expensive, alternate energy projects look more promising than before. Instead, solar and wind energy and battery technology are being promoted, often with hydrogen as a carrier. Solar and wind are not nearly as environmentally friendly as advertised and arguably not as friendly as fossil fuel energy when one considers the mining-related environmental impact of solar energy and batteries. I have been in every energy technology area there is except wind and batteries. The politicians seem dead set on choosing their winners and losers.

I advise that I and our university politely decline this interview request,
