Nucular Hydrogen Economy

Posted by michael on from the don't-email-about-misspelling dept.

Mark Baard writes "The hydrogen economy will at least in part be based on nukes. The DOE will build a pilot high-temperature, gas-cooled reactor (HTGR), which theoretically can co-generate electricity and hydrogen, side by side, inside a cheap modular unit."

    Gadzzzzzz... I was the nuclear energy reporter for Dow Jones Newswires for a couple of years and I'm not knee-jerk against the technology. In fact, I favor nuclear rocketry and other related applications.

    As for evil spirits -- is there an Evil Spirits Regulatory Commission? : )

    If anyone lives up to the name, "Anonymous Coward," it's you.

    The Republicans are only pushing the parts of tort reform that help big business and the wealthy. For instance the republicans are pushing to cap medical malpractice settlements. Who does that help? Rich doctors and health insurance companies. Now I'm not saying that tort reform shouldn't happen, but I trust W to carry out the necessary reform about as far as my little sister can throw him.
