And finally, we have as a discussant today Spencer Reiss, who is the contributing editor currently at Wired magazine, and previously has been a foreign correspondent for Newsweek.
Spencer this month in Wired magazine has written about the prospects of a revival for nuclear power, and he has kindly brought about 40 copies of the magazine that are available out in our lobby for you to take home with you after the panel is over.
So instead, we invited Spencer, who also writes on the subject for the high-technology community, to offer this thoughts and observations and as a way of prologue to opening up to questions and comments from the audience.

 Alternative Energy Action Network
by Peter Schwartz and Spencer Reiss in the latest online edition of Wired is unabashedly pro-nuclear, curiously in line with some of the pro-nuclear elements in the just-released 2006 US budget proposal.
Schwartz and Reiss seem to at least partially realize the need for such a vastly bigger scale, in talking about fuel reprocessing and extraction of uranium from seawater.
A publically funded science career is one significantly funded from fuel tax revenue, a perch from which one can safely advocate fossil fuel replacement technologies until the cows come home as long as each and every one advocated is currently, and likely long to be, ineffective.

 TheStreet.com: Tech's Gilder Age: Terayon My Wayward Son
Evidence of that phenomenon was in abundance late this week, when a pair of tech stocks jumped more than 70% over two days following mentions in the report.
In June 1999, the stock rose 28% to close at 41 1/2, in a move that Dow Jones attributed at the time to a mention in the Gilder Technology Report.
Reiss says the first time the publishing firm really noticed an effect from the newsletter was a month later, when bandwidth provider NorthEast Optic Network (NOPT:Nasdaq - news) rose 67% in a single day after a favorable mention from Gilder.

Just as Web-based e-mail and online calendars made a splash this year, Web file storage services are the latest wave for businesses and consumers who want their important data safe, secure and easily accessible—online.
Reiss also says there’s a healthy market of businesses who will pay extra for more capacity, added security, data backup and other services.
Reiss cautions there’s also some market education required to acquaint users with this concept.

 Joel Makower: Two Steps Forward: No Nukes Are Good Nukes
The piece is, essentially, a Valentine to nuclear power, which Schwartz and Reiss maintain is climate friendly, safe, and gaining in popularity -- assertions that are (in order) true, false, and, at best, optimistic.
The promise of a renewable energy future is not, as Schwartz and Reiss maintain, “attractive but powerless.” It’s real and it is coming on strong.
February 18, 2005 09:28 PM Schwartz and Reiss also seem to ignore the huge startup capital costs to build nuclear plants.

AOL-Time Warner will be poised in the next year to cross the cable chasm and own a vertical content company that produces, directs and delivers content to hundreds of millions of Americans.
Spencer Reiss, a vice president at the research firm the Guilder Group, points out that the massive cross-promotional synergy created by the new company is not the only attractive piece of the merger.
"I think the overlooked aspect of this merger over the next year is cable connection," Reiss says.

So all they did was redistribute resources, or try to reconcile people to living in degradation.
Most of the time, retorts Spencer Reiss, who edits the tech newsletter New Economy Watch, what they did was arrogate power to themselves.
Now, Reiss says, their main function is to pooh-pooh the new economy and hearken back to some nonexistent golden age.

 http://www.qando.net/ - Going Nuclear
Peter Schwartz and Spencer Reiss write in Wired that if we truly want a "Green" source of energy, then nuclear power is the only way currently to have it.
Burning coal and other fossil fuels is driving climate change, which is blamed for everything from western forest fires and Florida hurricanes to melting polar ice sheets and flooded Himalayan hamlets.
Reader RAZ points to another fascinating article in Wired by Spencer Reiss about the new "pebble bed" nuclear reactors the Chinese are building.

The computer and communication network have contributed to the creation of our so-called "new economy" by building a globalization of business, expanding the reach of goods and services to all corners of the globe.
The impact of this computing and digital revolution is continuing to be felt around the world with 'anywhere, anytime' commerce.
Globalization is the new business process and "[c]omputers, the software that runs on them, and the networks that connect them are the key enabling technologies of the new economy" (John Browning and Spencer Reiss, 1994-2002).

 Web storage sites loom as next big thing | CNET News.com
The migration of applications from the desktop to the Web has been one of the past year's defining trends.
The new crowd of document storage Web sites may not be storing documents in subterranean mountain laboratories; but Reiss and others argue that files are safer with a reputable Web site than on a laptop computer prone to theft or damage.
Across the board, the file storage sites are mimicking the free email sites in their revenue models: attract a large population of users with a useful free service and then sell advertising, sponsorships, and value-added services like security or extra space.

The hosts for New Economy were Spencer Reiss and John Browning, who were largely responsible for defining the term "New Economy" in their previous life at Wired.
PRODUCTIVITY PARADOX Reiss and Browning took a daring step -- they opened the first day of the conference with the most articulate, most respected critic of the New Economy concept.
THE ANTITRUST GUY In another gutsy move, conference organizers Reiss and Browning put Joel I. Klein, the lead antitrust official of the U.S. Government, in front of the New Economy Conference audience of free-marketeers, Republicans and Libertarians.

Seeman is one of the rare working, grant-getting, patent-producing nanoscientists who believes that nanotech will eventually progress beyond building better tennis rackets and create useful things from the bottom up -- at least, one of the few who can openly admit it without jeopardizing his ability to get government grants.
Just last June, Spencer Reiss of Technology Review asked Seeman whether nanomanufacturing was "imminent" and how he would respond to "nanotech's skeptics" (read "molecular manufacturing").
The professor did not take the bait and responded that it's not going to knit sweaters anytime soon, but:
