>>11757067well, there's nothing that can match the output per dollar of investment or the overall output of fossil fuels
the research may lead to something good enough to replace fossil fuels in the long run, but the projects that are being funded in its name are just another way for the billionaire class to rob the government
>>11758599gotta dispose of the waste though
it's not just an environmental issue either
all it takes is one religious group blowing up one nuclear reactor and suddenly we have a couple uninhabitable states full of refugees
wanna fuck up a water table? bomb a waste containment facility
any country that only uses fossil fuels is so much less vulnerable to this
we're lucky the nutters are obsessed with symbolic victories like the two towers
I think we ought to develop super-high energy solar cells, then shoot them up into low orbit equipped with a high energy laser to send energy back down
might fuck up the ozone or something
maybe some kind of catalytic breakdown of fossil fuels rather than just combusting them?
using the energy to make hydrogen fuel which could be used like gas?
