My impression was that the spent fuel could be stored on site. I forget the reason for this. Has something to do with the nature of the fuel.
How can we control oil speculation when oil is a global commodity? Agreed on the biofuels. The way that it's currently being handled is a...
I know that AZ gets a lot of crude from the tar sands. Wouldn't surprise me given the geographics. I think that the tar sands operations produce...
For the record, I'm not against nuclear power. It has some important issues that need to be addressed and from what I can tell, some of the newer...
There you go mate, setting yourself up for a life time of rage fueled misery. Better to just take the blue pill.... :D We actually had an...
Yeah, evaporative. When they say consumed I think it's synonymous with evap losses because they discuss how most of the water is returned and thus...
I'm not saying that nuke plants are causing a drought, but that there are clearly concerns during one. The NEI says that for closed loop plants,...
left1 is right about the energy pig part, and in a way right about the ME bit. Our dabbling in their affairs is a function of the energy pig part....
Perhaps, in theory, but in practice that's clearly not the case. In our own country we have a bit of a plutocracy going on. "What's good for GM is...

Algae may also improve on that. The chart doesn't show it. I wonder how it would compare. Obviously not as well but the liquid fuel thing...
That's true, but it's not universally applicable. You can't make plastic out of sun light (directly, anyways). You can't make JP-8 directly...
Ah Doberman... now you know how so many people feel about you.
Patrick, I wasn't attacking you or being snarky. I agree that offshore drilling can play a role in the economic impacts of high oil prices... but...
now you're just being a tosser...
carz39, it seems like breeder reactors might be a good path to follow, from what little I know. They can use thorium, no? If I recall, it's...
You'd probably use grease for that not oil. That's me guess anyways.
Same thing happened to the Luddites. There loads of examples. Live moves on and new opportunities arise. There are tremendous opportunities out...
