Alternative energy sources show great promise: US energy secretary.

Sounds like the same group of horses and riders! Incapable of thinking outside the "Beltway"! Throw some crumbs to the pigs; send the largesse to our "trusted friends".
Those in the know want more nukes!
Officials may enjoy regurgitated gruel.
Some of we pigs can comprehend a World powered by sources of energy which are truly alternative. Alternative energy sources which (as we were "propagandized to believe" are truly "too cheap to
meter. And the Piper would never demand payment: re. no (added) nuclear waste to deal with!

Bush is going to fire him. Unless his suggestion for alternative energy involves a greater use of fossil fuels.


Note that where I live we see "nuclear is a safe, clean energy solution" tv ads. All I can say is, its about time.

The sun energy emissioned it is 3,9 multiplied by ten power 26 and the energy received by Earth it is 2 multiplied by ten power17 and it is more than 5000 greater than entire consommed now in 1 second and Mr.Bodman has right.In my opinion will be better to utilise acumullators because the hydrogen may be lost in space and it is very dangereous.

such nonsense -

Edward Teller came up w/ a kickass design for a reactor. Called the "pebble bed" reactor, of course we aren't using it anywhere in the US. The CHINESE are using OUR design! Dammit, we are so dumb.

After Carter passed the single usage rule, we throw out 95% of all the nuclear fuel we have b/z of that stupid as&hole. Imagine filling your tank up w/ 20 gallons of gas, expend 1 gal getting to where youre going, and drain out the remaining 19 and throw them away. We don't reprocess any of it - and he was a nuclear engineer!!!!!

We did NOT have to buy all the plutonium we just got from the Russians. We could have made it ourselves, (although of course the purchase served national security and safety ends).

Look up the pebble bed design. It doesn't use H2O, rather, it uses pressurized He (totally inert) instead of caustic, superheated, superpressurized H2O. We could also have an unlimited supply of neutrons for experimentation. The critical mass of uranium is controlled by, of all things, a trap door, which when exceeding the maximum heat, drop out the pebbles to reduce below critical mass - duh. How easy is that????

We are so dumb.

Actually all fo the new reactor designs on the boards for the next five years are of the pebble design.

I agree with Nuclear power-plants, and electric cars, with solar and wall plugs. Then again, I would like to see at elast 48v in the cars, and 220 in every household appliance.

BTW I never knew Carter was a nuclear engineer, I thought he was just another peanut farmer from the south.
