Nuclear engineer Jonathan Chan points to a very popular article from Wired Magazine that's been drawing lots of attention lately.
He goes on to discuss greenhouse gas and global warming issues and how the environmental movement needs to take a deep breath and weigh the benefits of nuclear power. He quickly changes topics and begins to discuss developments in cold fusion and the production of pure helium and how this could be a major step forward in the production of additional "green " energy sources.
What struck me as intersting is how Mr. Chan brings nuclear into the cold fusion fold by saying that development of new nuclear technologies could ulitmately help with things like cold fusion.

Still, one might argue that a new nuclear power industry might help cold fusion indirectly. That maybe developing new greener forms of nuclear power might foster further cold fusion research as spinoffs perhaps. But to state that developing new forms of nuclear power will only benefit the hydrogen economy as Wired implies, and not mention the possible spinoffs to assist a new cold fusion industry in its infancy misses another possible venue to educate on this issue.
