I'm thinking any stimulus should be on things that actually improve the business environment...improving our rotten roads and bridges, wiring entire cities for internet access, cheaper/better pollution control technology for heavy industry (there has GOT to be a better way than spray scrubbers and baghouses), refineries, and power plants. Loads and loads of power plants. Preferably nuclear.

There is - the Cloud Chamber Scrubber.

That's actually pretty interesting. Basically a spray scrubber that grabs the little bitty stuff, or a charged scrubber that can grab neutral stuff.

Thanks. I'll take a while later on and read the entire site. Our internal pollution control requirements are a solid bitch, so I'm always interested in new approaches, and our engineers are living somewhere in 1953.
