Solving the Energy Problem

“There IS a miracle answer to power needs. It's call 4th generation nuclear power technology, based on thorium reactors. Although in truth even the 3rd generation plants, like the ones that provide Francewith 75% of its national power grid, are safe, efficient, produce comparatively little dangerous waste. And the bugaboo of handling nuclear waste is silly past belief by now, you just fuse it into ceramic so even a truck or train collision during transport can't release it, and then you bury it deep in a tectonically stable region. Or you could do what the Russians do, which is get it into liquid form and inject it into dry oil well domes down a few thousand feet, which have been stable for millions of years, and then seal the hole…. Unless you create immense forests of wind turbines (goodbye birds and bats) or create thousands of acres of solar panels (ecological impact?) you can never generate a serious fraction of the world's energy needs, and you sure aren't going to fly planes with anything but liquid hydrocarbons.  You can make electric cars, maybe trucks too, but the kilowatts still have to come from somewhere. The dream of clean renewable energy from natural sources at sufficient levels to support the lifestyle of Western societies is a pipe dream, and it ain't tobacco in that pipe.” --Del Del Vecchio:
