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."

    Renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, are emissions-free.

    Not quite the whole story. Anyone looked at the industrial waste that making solar panels creates? IIRC, it's nontrivial.

    Yea, pronouncing it the same way the only Nuclear Engineer to occupy the White House is so wrong. How dim of him having a bit of an accent!

    A politically-motivated article in the Voice. Who woulda thunk? I thought Bush was supposed to be in bed with the oil companies. That's what everyone kept crying about. But now liberals are bitching about hydrogen. You just can't win...
