Using thorium instead of uranium fits rather nicely into my plan, not that William Mook's version of solar derived hydrogen and then way better synfuel from coal isn't another perfectly good alternative to conventional hydrocarbons, that works nicely along with my dual-fuel utilization of HTP+synfuel as a nearly ideal liquid fueled alternative to gasoline and diesel. Even the 50% h2o2 battery, as a liquid energy cell that's offering way better density and cheaper than lithium, isn't such a bad idea.

OT japans nuclear plant was known to be at risk
fred marks everyone one of his posts to disappear in weeks if not
sooner..... given freds unstable rants has he wondered what his employeer would say if they got all his posts history. he claims to work for a government defense contractor. they might be very interested in his rants..... although he might do no more than cut grass at a defense contractor, or be a janitor spwecializing in toiletelogy, thats cleaning toilets....... |
