Environment & Energy

Pretending that nuclear power has no negative effects is simply dishonest.

I don’t want to see our "Gen-II" reactors taken off-line. At this time we. cannot afford that.

"Gen-IV" reactors are promised any day now (and have been for a quarter century.) I expect to see very little time between the commercial deployment of a "Gen-IV” reactors and the commercial deployment of fusion reactors. Of the two technologies, I would greatly prefer to see nuclear fusion.

I expect to see something from Commonwealth Fusion Systems first. My greatest regret in that regard is that (like a fission reactor) in the end, it is a thermal power plant.

The use of nuclear power to produce hydrogen is not a new idea. Here’s a hydrogen documentary from the late 1970’s which explains how it can be done, by multiple pathways. (Skip ahead to 12 minutes and 40 seconds. Or enjoy the ride.)
