The Nuclear Power Renaissance
Actual Reality writes "It is ironic to me that much of the same sentiment that thwarted the nuclear power industry back in the 80's is partially responsible for reviving it. Nuclear power is very clean compared to any power source that burns fuel. The US has missed several advancements in nuclear technology. We can only hope that environmental concerns will not again stifle our progress."
Yeah, the containers would be designed to not leak in an explosion... just like the Challenger was designed not to explode and kill its crew.
Yeah, no CO2 output, and there's an infinite supply of it, thank goodness!
There is a technological solution to everything. Just feed that CO2 to photosynthetic methane-generating bacteria and then sequester the methane by pumping it deep underground where it won't bother anybody.
