science lovers vs. science haters
I have always loved the idea of giant magnetically levitated flywheels in a vacuum storing energy as they spin at incredibly high speeds.

I have been listening to a great podcast called the Skeptics Guide to the Universe. If you are not a science geek you will probgably find it rather boring however, I find it pretty interesting. During the show several news stories are discussed as are various regular topics.
