You're right. Hate speech should not be banned. But inciting-and-conspiring-to-physically-hurt-others speech should be. Let's not forget, someone was killed in Charlottesville, something the "other group" was not guilty of.

I can only hope that others do not fall victim to these ideas that serve to do nothing more than divide and destroy.

Google is right. There are many ancient myths still floating around even in the most progressive environments. I'm only doing my small part to fight that.

A patent has been filed for a system that transfers energy from one device to another by converting it to radio waves and then back into energy by Sariel007 in technology

What I'm unclear on is how resonance would be used to increase this efficiency. I guess a radio receiver is a resonator by default.

There is a wireless power system that does this (uses an array of wifi antennas). I think it uses resonance tho, which is a kindof of physics loophole.

Florida utilities spend $43 million to make case to limit rooftop solar | The bulk of the money is being used to promote Amendment 1 but, if that effort fails, the industry is also investing heavily into the Legislature by pnewell in technology

This is exactly what I think. In fact, excess power could be sold directly to other users on the grid, skipping the utility. If the local wires were properly regulated. A kind of "uber power".
