In that case, E-Cat reactors will reduce employment both in the manufacturing stage and also in the fuel production stage. Solar panels lend themselves to robotic manufacturing more than wind turbines do, I believe. However, in twenty years, everything will be manufactured by robots. So in that sense, E-Cats will not be any different from wind turbines or internal combustion engines. In other words, eventually robots will reduce all labor costs for all manufactured items to zero. Food will also require no human labor. That is another problem -- or another opportunity, depending on how you look at it. We have often discussed this issue. I think the combination of robots and cold fusion will destroy the value of human labor even faster than robots alone will do that. - Jed
