This can be done by gradually adding small nuclear reactors to each existing site over the course of two or three decades. <br /><br />The more than 60 nuclear sites in the US could easily accommodate capacities up to 8GWe electric without significant heat island problems. <br /><br />The production of hydrogen during off-peak hours by nuclear power plants could be used to substantially increase carbon neutral bio-methanol production from urban and rural biowaste.<br /><br />This carbon neutral methanol could be used in slightly modified gas turbines for the production of peak-load electricity. Such turbines actually produce electricity more efficiently than natural gas. <br /><br />Marcel Marcel F.

Surly the organizations concerned can pass the cup around and cash in for 30-second TV and radio spots which will do great service as a heads-up to the public and colleges that such a vital environmental-energy issue is happening under their radar. I mean if PUPPY RESCUE can afford cable TY spots in major markets like NYC-metro...<br /><br />Like I'm REALLY tired of seeing Michio Kaku spin his glib FUD totally unchallenged!<br /><br />James Greenidge<br />Queens NYjimwghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964988758509076556noreply@blogger.com
