Well I would take one in my back yard for free power. Anyhow, this may also be some type of way to dispose of high level waste. Generating electricity off of the decay might power something.
Yeah they will let you buy 4G phones. AT&T is crappy. So is Verizon. Verizon is probably the only company left that still charges $3 or 5$ to pay your bill by phone. The fact is T-mobile & Sprint will never have nationwide coverage. As far as AT&T's 3G speed, it actually seems faster than the 3G CDMA phones.
Somehow I fell as though you are in outer space. What was the subject again. 114 years being the limit. Hell there was this 130 year old monk in China once.
Too bad that we only have Verizon & AT&T to choose from, well really AT&T on Verizon's lack of coverage. I was just thinking how I would like to have a T-mobile phone. With AT&T tethering is on the phone but once you use their version you will pay $20 to $30 extra per month just to use it. Now apparently they have equipment to detect usage and if you have a rooted phone so that you load an app that doesn't charge you speed will be similar to dialup. My Phone also comes with all of these things but I don't understand 2G unlimited being throttled up to 3G when you pass the limit. Ah they will make money one way or another for stuff they don't provide. WOW!
Damn I have mod points but I want to reply. I have the 2 gig plan and AT&T throttles this app called "Wireless Tether". So basically you are paying extra to AT&T for that privilege. I think data should be data. I don't care to pay for it but I don't want to be raped either. I normally don't even get close to 2GB and get throttled but hey they wont kick me off because they are getting money.
I'm sure we could live with that amount. Maybe we would even have more land to grow stuff that eats CO2 24/7. Carbon sequestration is going to cause a big blob and kill us all.
Inverters. DC power just wont go as far. Batteries. The sun doesn't always shine. Also, how long do those PV panels last? How much area does it take up? Nuke plants take less land. There are other costs than just how many kilowatts a certain tech produces.
I think you can get Plutonium by bombarding U-235 with neutrons. Reprocess it into something. Our weapons stockpile is too old and you can always reuse them for fuel. High level waste can be practically eliminated with a modern breeder design which these plants aren't but maybe one day.
We can reprocess most of the high level stuff. The rest you simply dump in an old salt mine. That's good for 1000 years. Anything with more mojo than that needs reprocessing. As of now I don't think the US does this except using old Russian nukes for fuel after their purity is diluted. We need to build breeder reactors. 30 years ago that was what caused 30 years worth of this when the partially built Phipps Bend Reactor was shut down midstream. Jimmy Carter was worried about weapons proliferation. With our own reactors, who cares? I'm sure some heavy security can solve that problem.
There ain't no other choice right now that will meet demand and not generate CO2. There is a downside but it's the least bad choice right now. How many wind farms or solar ones can produce that kind of base load? 2.2GW and with reprocessing the fuel should last long enough to get fusion figured out and then antimatter reactors would be the final step.
Everything is tied to energy. With it, anything is possible. Without it even the Stone Age wouldn't have been as goo because at least we had fire.
I think we can say we have discovered the "God Particle" or there's about a 1 in 16400 chance that they are right. I think It's a great chance that the standard model is "IT". Lets work from that and go forward for now unless I loose that bet.

It has to be true then. He musta got on some ginseng and forgot when he was born.
Why not. At least free power within 100 miles would do.

Well I dunno after so many years time ceases to matter anyhow.

I agree with the last thing you said. Therein lies the problem. No will no way? When we have the will nothing is impossible.
Contains is the word and its out there somewhere. Well maybe fusion would hold us a while;)
What may be is hard to know.
I disagree our best can get real good at times like these.
Yep, China is buying a few of them from us.

You mean some type of breeder tech that we already have. Thorium isn't proven but I heard India will soon try this as they have plenty of Thorium.
It's called environmental advertising not fact. In fact coal plants are really nasty as far as putting out radiation into the atmosphere too.

I bet my electric rate is smaller than the UK too but not that much lower.

Dang Right! but...the oil thing wont last as long.

Good for you, but it doesn't work that way anywhere I've seen. You get what you get.
From what I've seen Blackberries aren't that secure maybe less secure than an iPhone which seems even more boxed in.
