Alaskans who want to help create jobs in our state must take notice of the levitating furnace on the International Space Station. As I stated in my March 2013 special report on the subject of Alaska’s industrial science policy:
“The key to jobs creation is to transform the labor force through creating new divisions of labor based on fundamental changes to the efficiency of production, most readily through the application of technologies based on new physical principles.
Alaska’s long-term industrial science policy mission assignment will be to miniaturize plasma-arc continuous casting, robotic capital goods production for construction, strategic, ceramic, composite and aerospace materials and to miniaturize heavy industrial plasma processing for primary reduction and clean fuels production.”
