	<htmltext>It seems that we are being led to believe that "Carbon Emissions" are the cause for all the world's woes.  (It snowed because of Global Warming!?) So I have come up with the perfect idea to patent:<br> <br>

We line up every person who talks about the Polar Bears, "Think Green", those assholes who put the Green "think before you print this" tag at the bottom of their emails, all PeTA members wearing leather shoes, and Al Gore, and them take away their air supply.  Yeah, that's right... no more air means no more breathing, means no more carbon emissions from them.  Once the idea is patented, I'll make money every time a tree-hugger stops breathing!<br> <br>

That should buy me a few more years of driving my SUV and get the cash to afford to drive it!</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Say, you have an idea for improving the efficiency of solar panels.  Commercializing it will cost many millions of dollars, but there is a healthy expanding market.  Why not?  Well, if there are several patents held by other organizations on inferior solar panels, but including necessary aspects of your better design, this severely restricts future profits from sale of the improved panels, and the viability of development.

Unfortunately, this is not just theoretical.  It is the what happens time and time again.  Often, the obvious aspects of some technology get patented early which makes it uneconomic to do the necessary optimization of the process for a decade or more.</p></htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>Yes, its great news.
