Spent nuclear rods are only 3-4% used up. There are new methods to reuse these and get at least 10 times the use out of the same rod. Because of this our current supply is enough for about 1000 years at the current usage, so even if our usage was 10 fold more we still have plenty.

The newest nuclear plants use Thorium instead of Uranium. It is plentiful, easier to recycle and has the added benefit of not being able to be converted to nuclear weapons.

Yeah, nuclear is the way, change from oil to nuclear today, build 10000 of the biggest plant ever and all known resources will be used within 10 years, and then i don't include the growth we need...

There is only ONE WAY, that is renewable! Vind, water, solar etc, and we need to really investe in it heavy!

THis is awesome. HE is great!! We should show this to everyone.

[danbuck333]

yeah ive had my eye on magnetic motors , but i was of the opinion that it was still to be proven to work , ie no PROVEN working proto type

[danbuck333]

cutting edge means it isnt commercially viable yet , so why mention something that the average person or vast majority of people cant actually purchase

[Naughtyjug]

That's not stricly true. There have been very promising results recently with photosynthetic bacteria capable of splitting water into Hydrogen and Oxygen requiring nothing more than sunlight and some very basic nutrients. He also failed to mention the exceptional breakthroughs recently with solid magnet motors capable of supplying 24kw per day...more than enough to supply an average house and excess to sell back into the grid. There are options...he's behind the cutting edge.

Naughtyjug,

You are absolutely right, even if the tech is not ready for prime time, and even if it proves another broken hope, Bartlett failed to mention PERENDEV 's magnetic motor, he did mention nuclear fusion... THANKS for the tip!

@Naughtyjug It take 30 years to change the economic infraestructure. Yes alternatives, inovation and new discoveries help. But we have to abandon the infinite growth paradigm.
