The (Possible) Future of Alternative Energy

Sponge! writes: "The stuff that turns oil into margarine. The stuff that made the Hindenburg float. The stuff that combines with oxygen to make water and with carbon to make methane. The stuff that sends the space shuttle skyward and could someday power your car, office building, house, cell phone, even your hearing aid. That "Stuff" is hydrogen, and according to Amory Lovins, it is the future of energy. Here is an interesting article on Lovins and his view of hydrogen as the number one fuel."

Old news

Anyone calling themselves a slashdot geek already gets the discover magazine in which case this story is...well...boring.

How about a new topic category called "Old Magazine News" that I could filter?

Hard to Hide? Re:Power & Current Alternatives

[dbCooper0]

Look at the Navy, they have tons of nuclear reactors on their ships. Have there been any indicents with them? Not that we know of, and it'd be hard to hide something like that.

C'mon - who are you trying to snowball? The .gov can hide anything they want, and have been doing so forever. I have a first-born son in the Navy, and he (thankfully) is not on a nuke-ship. Even if he were, I don't have a death-watch kind of worry about him or the crew, but just the same, our .gov will never tell us what's really going on in the ranks, let alone in the broad overview of everything. They told us that from the gitgo in this *new* war, but nothing has really had to change for that. The only thing they need to *deny* is resultant of what Al-Jazeera is telling us, or whatever.

Get a clue.
