Thank you for the conversation.

@darkcynite It doesn't matter if they worked! Don't you
read or listen to anything else but your focused interest?
The reactors work, but they won't when they run our of
fuel and they will cause great harm and endanger the
world! Not everything that works is safe or a good idea!
-
The test rods in India worked.
Have you always had such a pessimistic view on life?
-
@darkcynite What they need is to sell every Indian decent
birth control, but they would all rather die first. They may get
a big part of THAT wish. Do me a favor and look up opponents
to thorium reactors and take their warnings seriously. They are
the physicists who have nothing to lose by telling the truth.
-
@darkcynite India's desperate. They would burn their own
people for energy, they're so desperate. They are heading
toward becoming the poorest nation on earth and the one
most likely to be made poorer and more miserable by
climate change and their own insane denial in the form of
trying to sell every Indian a car that in 5 years none of them
will be able to afford the fuel for, and the Indus and Ganges
will be running dry half the year when the Himalayan glaciers
finish melting.

Again I recommend reading up on thorium. For example india just approved construction of a thorium heavy water reactor.
The material with the short peak you site is uranium as used in light water reactors.
Faster breeder and thorium thermal breeders have vastly more fuel. I'm not sure about the fuel make up of heavy water reactors I've heard they use unrefined uranium which means one of the number 2 reactor design used may already have a large fuel supply.

@darkcynite Gas is to hit $5 a gallon by Memorial Day. After that it
is onward and upward for oil prices, and the scary times begin.
The total cost of nuclear when all costs are fairly considered
exceeds that of even solar PV and is well more costly than
wind and thermal solar. Sec of Energy Stephen Chu says that
the reservation for a single nuclear power plant, if populated
instead by photovoltaics, can produce as much energy more
cheaply than the nuclear plant they'd build there.
-
@darkcynite Nuclear is too dangerous, too costly compared
to renewables, and would use up too much valuable resource
for what can only be a 20 year delay to when the fuel runs out.
Nuclear is peak-able in the next few decades as well. Few people
seem to acknowledge that. We need to spend the energy we
have left on building the renewables to do the whole job, and
we're so short of those it may take devoting major solar
energy facilities to PV foundry/metals refineries for mirrors.

@darkcynite I've looked at SpaceX, but the other I haven't
seen.
NO MORE BLOOD FOR OIL
1800 gallons of hemp ethanol per acre=42 barrels (42 gallons in a barrel)
half the arable land in USA 235 million acres
235000000 x 42 = 9,870,000,000 barrels
USA consumes ~ 7,008,900,000 barrels every year
Worlds total arable land 13,805,153km²
half of the total arable land in the world 1,704,936,272 acres
1704936272 x 42 (1800gallons) = 71,607,323,424 barrels
projected world oil consumption by 2030: 100000000 barrels per day x 366 days = 38,064,000,000

@yellowecotec Anyone who does not think there is enough land to grow hemp for fuel and still grow food crops need to take a serious look at all the waste land that can be converted into arable land. 6 ways mushrooms can save the world. Hemp would also be a great resource to convert land into arable land good for growing food crops. There are other methods to increase yield per acre: vertical greenhouses, growing on rooftops, and why not make use of those hydro fields grow cannabis.

The best thing legislators can do is pass the all you can smoke without prejudice bill. Localy grown government inspected AAA bud bug and mold free.
Taxable as is tobbacco and spirits would be in the best interests of all humanity.
If the cops pull you over though and your eyes are a little glossy and you have a grin on your face he will require a blood sample.
No big flipping mistery HUH.

@61miroman Cannabis needs to be exempted from all laws practically everywhere, the only way to put the cartels out of business is to allow the cultivation, processing, transportation, distribution, sales, trade, sharing, possession, consumption and use of cannabis (hemp) for industrial, medicinal, nutritional and recreational purposes repealed. Nobody has any right to restrict anyone, any age, a harmless plant safer than drinking water.
