  1. i think you've got that backwards... Solar and geothermal are our best option right now until we improve FUSION. Also, what kinds of radioactive elements/isotopes does fusion produce?

  2. if dolphins are so smart, why do they live in igloos?

  3. Stirling dishes produce upto about 25 KILOwatts, not MEGAwatts.

  4. Actually the Earth is heated mostly by internal Nuclear decay, not the Sun. There are devices that operate in a similar manner, they are called RTGs - Radioisotope Thermal Generators. NASA uses them, they are pretty interesting, google it.

  5. That part in the Matrix was laughable. So inefficient! Fusion gives off billions of times more power than humans can. Also, humans don't produce energy - we USE it, from SUGARS - which is how plants store their harvested SOLAR energy (via the leaf). You can use artificial lighting to grow plants. But where does the energy to run the lights come from? Fusion? The machines should cut out all the pointless middlemen, and just power themselves with Fusion directly. No humans needed.

  6. They are logarithmic graphs, hard to interpret. Man i hate logarithmic graphs they're next to useless.

  7. The WWF recently released a paper comparing the CO2 emissions of all countries. France came out the best, because they use mostly nuclear power and thus have very little CO2 emissions. But the WWF does not like nuclear power. So they artificially inflated France's CO2 figures to make it seem that it emitted a lot of CO2, and they added a little note saying so in the paper. Why? Coz the WWF doesn't like Nuclear power. Why? Coz.

  8. no, cold fusion is fiction. until someone demonstrates otherwise. ...we're still waiting...

  9. hehe

  10. Steven Cowley: "more than half the world's population is involved in building this device in southern France" wait... what?

  11. the graph is logarithmic. basically useless.

  12. it's not cold fusion, it's HOT.

  13. you are mixing fission with fusion. they are not the same thing. If you are using fusion - you don't have FISSION waste. (Unless you are using a dual fission/fusion process, but that's pretty hightech it's not exactly layman knowledge.)
