You, pardon the pun, are wishing upon a star. You said it yourself: "If it works." What if it doesn't? Scientists, bless their hearts, have hyped their research (or allowed reporters to do it for them) many, many times. It keeps the grant money flowing in. The very same argument you make; "don't build nukes, wait for this new technology" has been made for cold fusion, tokomaks and hot fusion, wave power, wind power, solar power, and pumping water (one of the earth's best lubricants) down a seismically active geothermal well. All of these have produced only a piddling watt or two, if anything. We have long since passed the point where we can wait any longer. We need nukes now. They DO work. If something better comes along, fine, stop building nukes and go for that TOO. If the new technology proves to be another broken reed, at least we will have SOMETHING.

In the end, you won't ever get anywhere until you go to nuclear power....I think all of congress needs to spend a little time playing it sometime. The 'green' movement is the biggest bunch of self-indulgent hypocrates out there, why anyone cares what they have to say is a mystery. Orin Hatch is probably the only person in congress that makes any sense when it comes to dealing with our nation's energy problems.

Keep in mind YOUR tax dollars are being spent for this monster, and it IS located just outside the San Francisco Bay Area (a known earthquake zone.) This, should it work, will make all the nuke stuff irrelevent along with oil for automotive power. Yes, it won't happen tomorrow, but the initial start is scheduled for 2010! I think we have a very Bright electrical future with no radioactive waste to fool with, no reactor embrittlement, no meltdown potential and NO carbon emission.

Assertion of an incorrect and unsubstantiated viewpoint made in support of a another position for which one is arguing does not lend much credence. This reminds me of the endless stream of book and movie reviews in our newspapers in recent years which routinely have at least one gratuitous jab at Bush, the moron, the warmonger, the evil genius, etc., apropos of absolutely nothing.

I don't want to prosecute anyone. Perhaps you meant persecute. Either way, my only problem with radical environmentalism is that time and again, common sense energy behavior is blocked by small sects of "scientists" and radical groups (read:religion) working with theories(not facts) that are unproven and some downright absurd. And our government seems willing to either capitulate altogether or schedule some sort of "hearing" that almost infinitely postpones action. In the meantime, I suppose we just keep burning fossil fuels and emitting the dreaded CO2. Although I have heard of a process called "coal liquification" that I need to research further before sounding off on. I feel compelled to respond. I don’t want to prosecute anyone.

If you actually believe that, put down the bong and step away from the acid. Nuclear can replace some transportation technologies. We know a lot about propelling boats with nuclear energy - we have working nuclear powered vessels of all sizes. Nuclear powered vessels that are built from the ground up as cargo haulers could cover the world with speed. Diesel was made from oil, last time I checked. schnargley,
